Pin mixers are industrial mixing devices used to condition, agglomerate, and mix bulk materials, and work most effectively with fine materials such as powders. They utilize an intense spinning motion, in the presence of a binder, to produce small, dense agglomerates. Rods, or “pins,” are …
This week’s photo highlights the pins, or rod-like mechanisms, in a pin mixer. Pin mixers are a diverse industrial mixing solution, ideal for blending, conditioning, agglomerating, and de-dusting fine materials. They can work as a stand-alone piece of equipment, or as a precursor to pelletization …
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 …
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 …
In 2015, the global fly ash market was estimated to be valued at 40 billion USD. A recent industry analysis by Research Nester anticipates the market will reach an estimated 70 billion USD by the end of 2023 – a 7.1% CAGR owing to increasing …
This week’s photo highlights a FEECO pin mixer. It is one of our rental units, available for your on-site processing convenience. The continuous mixer is 10”, with the capacity varying significantly from material to material and process to process. The pin mixer also features a raising …
Today’s photo highlights a batch pin mixer in the FEECO Innovation Center. Our team of Process Experts use the small-scale mixer during agglomeration lab tests for a variety of purposes. The batch pin mixer is commonly used for pre-conditioning material samples, blending moisture or binder, …
This week’s photo shows the base of a pin, the fundamental component of a pin mixer. Pin mixers are industrial mixing devices that use rotational forces to blend, agglomerate, and condition fine materials. They rely on 3 main pieces of equipment for processing: an internal …
This week’s photo shows a batch pin mixer from the FEECO Lab. Pin mixers are a type of industrial mixer that can be used for a wide variety of materials, either as a stand-alone agglomerator, or as part of a larger agglomeration process. They are …
