When looking for versatile manufacturing equipment capable of producing granules, rotary drums are often the equipment of choice. However, confusion frequently arises in choosing between an agglomerator and granulator. Because rotary drums are flexible in design and capable of processing large capacities, they are extensively …
This weekโs highlighted resource is a project profile on a gold ore agglomeration drum. Agglomeration drums, also known as agglomerators, are frequently used in processing gold ore at heap leaching operations to improve heap permeability. In this specific instance, FEECO was commissioned to replace a …
This weekโs resource highlights rotary drum girth gears. The gear on a rotary drum in a gear and pinion drive assembly setup is an integral component, providing both structural support and rotation. As such, worn gears should be replaced immediately to prevent damage from affecting …
As gold continues to be one of the most widely used precious metals, more and more companies are expanding their reach in the gold mining and processing industry. And as with any finite resource in a world of growing demand, reclaiming as much of this …
As the world leader in tumble growth agglomeration, FEECO provides a variety of services and equipment for iron ore pelletizer plants. As the needs of the steel industry change, one production component looks to be increasingly important in meeting the needs of the modern steel …
During the pursuit of an effective non-pressure agglomeration solution, the choice between a rotary drum and a disc pelletizer (also known as a pan granulator) often arises. To help determine the best equipment for your material and process, the following should be taken into consideration: …
This weekโs photo highlights FEECOโs floating tire design. The effects of thermal expansion are overcome by having tires of โfree floatingโ construction. Shim plates and keeper bars are located so that the tires are supported away from the shell, minimizing thermal distortion and yet allowing …
This weekโs highlighted resource is a project profile on copper ore drums. Agglomeration drums (aka copper ore drums) are used in the heap leaching process to agglomerate ore fines so that the leaching agent can more effectively percolate through the heap, maximizing metal recovery. FEECO …
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, weโve provided a quick overview of some of the most common types of agglomeration equipment. Click …
Granulation can be considered the same as pelletization, the method of agglomeration or particle size enlargement, but it often refers specifically to applications within the fertilizer industry. Granulation is generally carried out in a granulation/agglomeration drum if a chemical reaction is involved. The process works …
