Pin mixers are used in a variety of industrial settings to mix, condition, and agglomerate materials, as well as to prepare them for pelletizing. No matter what setting they are in, or what objective they are performing, optimizing pin mixer performance and promoting equipment longevity …
The pin mixer, a horizontal, continuous mixer, is perhaps most well known for the role for which it was originally developed: processing carbon black. In the carbon black industry, pin mixers provide a highly effective means of converting a dusty, difficult-to-handle material into small, dust-free …
Originally developed to process carbon black, the pin mixer is an industrial mixer that has evolved to meet a variety of needs across many industries, making it a critical processing tool in producing everything from chemicals to minerals. The hugely successful and widespread use of …
Dust collectors serve a critical need in the industrial process setting, helping processors to keep workers safe, comply with regulatory requirements, ensure product integrity, and promote equipment longevity. And while baghouses, electrostatic precipitators, and other dust collection systems provide these benefits, processors are often left …
Potash pelletization is a reliable and beneficial method of processing potash. In fact, it is gaining popularity with fertilizer manufacturers looking for a premium, refined product that delivers nutrients quickly. However, a lot of work is required in order to produce an optimal potash pellet. …
This week’s highlighted resource is a project profile pin mixers for coal dust suppression. Pin mixers are the preferred device for coal dust suppression via agglomeration. Having supplied over 90 pin mixers for this purpose, the profile highlights FEECO’s expertise in coal pin mixers. Click …
While the disc pelletizer has long been the standard for producing granular limestone and gypsum, the industry has found that the addition of a preconditioning step prior to the disc pelletizer significantly improves both processing and product quality. In this application, the pin mixer has …
This week’s highlighted resource is a Slideshare presentation on the use of a pin mixer for processing gypsum. Gypsum is widely used as a soil amendment, but it is first processed into granules for improved handling and application characteristics. Using a Pin Mixer to Process …
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 …
This week’s photo highlights FEECO’s industrial mixer options: the pin mixer, and pugmill mixer, also known as a paddle mixer. Pin mixers are ideal for processing fine materials in the presence of a liquid binder. They consist of a central rotar shaft affixed with pins, …
