Agglomeration brings an array of benefits to processors working with bulk solids, from a cleaner production environment, to improved product performance, and more. One often-forgotten aspect of managing bulk solids where agglomeration can deliver significant value is in dry bulk shipping. When producers choose to …
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 …
Smelting is a pyrometallurgical process that uses thermal processing techniques to purify copper through chemical reactions. And while most focus is given to the furnaces involved in this process, one piece of equipment has not only helped to increase the efficiency of copper smelting, but …
A pugmill mixer, also known as a pug mill or paddle mixer, is a type of horizontal, continuous mixer used throughout a variety of industries to combine solid and liquid feed components into a homogeneous mixture. Pugmill mixers are chosen for especially demanding settings in …
Conditioning refers to the processing of bulk solids material for improved efficiency of downstream processing, improved material handling, or to improve product performance. Conditioning can be accomplished using numerous processes and equipment, all varying on the unique characteristics of the material to be processed and …
Pre-conditioning, or preparing material for agglomeration, is critical to agglomeration success; it can help improve further processing, and create a more refined end product. FEECO offers the following pre-conditioning equipment: Rotary Dryer. A material must fall within a set moisture range to agglomerate effectively. Materials …
Pugmill mixers are a type of continuous mixer used throughout several industries to accomplish agglomeration, mixing, and conditioning of bulk solids. They have become a critical processing device in a number of industrial settings, granulating organic materials, conditioning sludge and ash by-products for disposal, and …
Each week on our home page, we feature three articles that are highly relevant under the current market circumstances. This week, we’re highlighting: Sand Dryers Optimize Product for Industrial Use Sand Dryers Optimize Product for Industrial Use looks at the role of drying in producing …
The copper industry is under increasing pressure to manage concentrates with a high content of arsenic. Arsenic-laden concentrates have always been an issue for the industry, but as complex ore bodies increase and environmental regulations tighten, the problem is mounting at a time when demand …
Conditioning is an important part in bulk solids processing, allowing producers to alter the material to fit their unique needs. While there are many reasons to condition a material, three central objectives are highlighted below. To improve the efficiency of the process. Conditioning a material …
