When designing a gypsum pelletizing system, most attention focuses on larger equipment such as disc pelletizers or rotary dryers. However, the importance of a pin mixer for gypsum pelletizing should not be overlooked. Pin mixers offer numerous benefits such as solids mixing, densification, and granulation. …
When considering the use of an industrial mixer, be it for pre-conditioning prior to a disc pelletizer, or as a stand-alone agglomeration unit, it is common to run into the question of which mixer will serve the process and material best: a pin mixer, or …
Micro-pelletizing can be carried out in a pin mixer, or in a pin mixer/disc pelletizer (pan granulator) combination. Pin mixers alone often provide efficient results when full-scale pelletizing is not necessary, or when only smaller pellets or conditioning is needed. To begin, the pin mixer …
Coal, a combustible, sedimentary rock, has been used for centuries as a reliable energy source. Despite growing renewable energy sources, coal is still the backbone of the world’s energy grid, providing the electricity we need to turn on lights, heat our homes, and cook our …
There are many choices on the market when it comes to agglomeration equipment. Additionally, new uses are being developed all the time, making current equipment options increasingly flexible. Below, we’ve provided a quick overview of some of the most common types of agglomeration equipment. Click …
Pin mixers are used for various agglomeration processes including material conditioning, mixing, de-dusting, agglomerating, and micro-pelletizing. They can be used as a stand-alone agglomeration unit, or in combination with a disc pelletizer or agglomeration drum, to produce a pelletized product. Pin mixers use a rotor …
In the early stages of designing and developing a pelletizing plant, many questions often arise: what equipment will best suit my process; do I need a binder; how tall will my building have to be, and more. While this process prompts a host of questions, …
This week’s photo highlights a material before and after processing in the FEECO Innovation Center’s batch pin mixer. Pin mixers are adept for mixing, agglomerating, conditioning, micro-pelletizing, and de-dusting applications. The intense spinning action allows them to densify material and create small pellets, an ideal …
The pin mixer is an industrial mixing solution ideal for mixing, conditioning, and agglomerating material fines in the presence of a binder. While the pugmill mixer (paddle mixer) is best suited for heavy-duty materials such as ores, the pin mixer excels in applications where extremely …
Continuous mixers play a vital role in a wide array of industrial process settings, de-dusting materials, promoting product uniformity, streamlining downstream processes, and so much more. And while the capabilities of a continuous mixer are many, so too are the number of manufacturers offering these …
