The pugmill mixer, also commonly referred to as a paddle mixer or pug mill, is widely employed in a variety of processes transversing many industries. Flexibility in mixing, agglomerating, and conditioning make the capabilities of the pugmill mixer applicable to a wide range of bulk …
As demand for lithium continues to surge, the rising use of novel lithium sources, paired with the growing need to maximize process efficiency and the push for a circular economy, are all driving research and development work around extracting and recovering lithium. Findings from Grand …
Industrial mixers are utilized to process bulk solids ranging from fertilizers and soil amendments to advanced chemical compounds, catalysts, and mineral concentrates. The flexible processing capabilities of these mixers, paired with their ability to continuously create homogeneous blends, makes them a preferred option for plants …
Pugmill mixers are widely used in the sulfuric acid (sulfation) process that extracts lithium from spodumene ore. As demand for lithium continues to mount, pugmill mixers are a pivotal tool in bringing lithium from spodumene sources to market, making a measurable difference in consistency, safety, …
Conditioning is a term used frequently in the field of bulk solids processing to describe a wide range of material treatments, be it for a raw material, a byproduct, or a finished product. Conditioning is an important component in the processing of bulk solids, allowing …
The ability to control the sizing of bulk solids has become a critical aspect to the success of many processes and products, allowing for more efficient processing, more predictable results, and ultimately a better end product. Agglomeration offers the unique opportunity to fine-tune particle size …
When considering the use of an industrial mixer, be it for pre-conditioning prior to a disc pelletizer, or for use 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 …
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 …
When producers choose to agglomerate powdered bulk solids, they can gain a number of benefits, many of which contribute to improved economics of the operation as a whole – from a cleaner production environment, to improved product performance, and more. One often-forgotten aspect of managing …
Pelletizing is a valuable tool in managing the properties of bulk solids. From flowability to bulk density and so much more, pelletizing gives producers in nearly every industry a way to control the handling and performance characteristics of their bulk solids. And while pelletizing provides …
