The pugmill mixer is an incredibly diverse machine, lending itself to blending, conditioning, mixing, and agglomeration processes throughout a host of industries. While a well-designed and properly manufactured pugmill mixer is generally reliable, it is not immune to issue; changes in process conditions, the presence …
As gold continues to be one of the most widely used precious metals, more and more companies are expanding their reach in the gold mining and processing industry. And as with any finite resource in a world of growing demand, reclaiming as much of this …
This week’s photo is a 3D image of a pin mixer. Pin mixers are industrial mixers that can be used in mixing, agglomeration, and conditioning applications. They are particularly adept at processing fine materials such as powders, and are commonly used to process materials such …
When it comes to mixing bulk solids, few industrial mixers can compete with the double-shaft pugmill mixer. Often chosen for its ability to create a homogeneous mixture from both wet and dry ingredients, the pugmill mixer offers a versatile solution capable of processing everything from …
This week’s highlighted resource is a project profile on pugmill mixers for copper concentrates. Pug mills are a critical piece of equipment in processing copper concentrates for smelting – so critical in fact, that many companies will purchase two at a time – one as …
Micro-pelletizing is the process of agglomerating material fines into small pellets. This differs from traditional pelletizing, in that it produces much smaller pellets, typically around 20-60 mesh. Pin mixers are the equipment of choice when it comes to micro-pelletizing; they can be used as a …
As the world leader in tumble growth agglomeration, FEECO provides a variety of services and equipment for iron ore pelletizer plants. As the needs of the steel industry change, one production component looks to be increasingly important in meeting the needs of the modern steel …
During the pursuit of an effective non-pressure agglomeration solution, the choice between a rotary drum and a disc pelletizer (also known as a pan granulator) often arises. To help determine the best equipment for your material and process, the following should be taken into consideration: …
Reports of depleted soils and increasingly nutrient-deficient crops have littered headlines in recent years. Scientists around the world are calling for improved management of soils as the effects of long-term misuse become more evident and the struggle to feed a growing population puts agriculture under …
This week’s highlighted resource is a project profile on a coating drum for ammonium sulfate. FEECO engineered and manufactured a custom coating drum for ammonium sulfate and sulfur bentonite. This project profile highlights how the coating drum works and how the FEECO flight simulator played …
