FEECO offers a variety of options in drive assemblies for your rotary dryer, cooler, kiln, or granulation drum, all selected based on the requirements of the application. Chain and Sprocket Drive Assembly Chain and sprocket drive assemblies are ideal for smaller drums running up to Continue reading →
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 Continue reading →
Granulation drums, also known as agglomeration drums or granulators, are pivotal to a wide array of industrial processes, helping producers working with bulk solids to condition and agglomerate their materials for downstream processing, easier handling, and improved performance. In selecting agglomeration equipment and evaluating the Continue reading →
Agglomeration drums and granulation drums are two of many terms used to describe rotary drum equipment. Granulation drums are typically used in the agricultural industry for fertilizer production. The tumbling motion inside of the drum creates uniform fertilizer granules that are easy to handle and Continue reading →
An adequate preventative maintenance plan is a major contributing factor to maximizing the service life of a rotary drum, be it a dryer, cooler, kiln, or granulator. Despite being a rugged piece of equipment, rotary drums require a careful balance of load on mechanical components Continue reading →
This week’s photo highlights a granulation drum integrated with a pipe reactor. Granulation drums are ideal for high capacity process settings, or when a chemical reaction is required during agglomeration. In those cases, the drum is fitted with a pipe reactor, as seen in this Continue reading →
When looking to agglomerate material, many options are available. Agglomeration equipment providers often specialize in a particular industry, type of agglomeration equipment, or category of agglomeration solutions. As the capabilities, offerings, and experience of each vary significantly, finding the right agglomeration equipment provider requires a Continue reading →
Granulation drums are utilized in many industries, processing a wide range of materials into a more usable, more marketable granular form, whether it be for use as a fertilizer, chemical agent, mineral, or otherwise. Since all materials respond differently to granulation, the design of a Continue reading →
Granulation drums, also commonly called granulators or agglomeration drums, are used throughout a variety of industrial settings to process fines into a granular product. They have become the basis of modern fertilizer granulation, and continue to make their way into a growing number of applications. Continue reading →
This week’s photo is a granulation drum, or granulator, from the late 1950s. Granulation drums are commonly utilized in the fertilizer industry when a chemical reaction is required during agglomeration. In this case, the drum is fitted with a cross-pipe reactor, where liquid ingredients Continue reading →
