A rotary drum, be it a dryer, cooler, agglomerator, or otherwise, is a major investment and integral part of many industrial processing systems. From drying and cooling bulk solids before storage, to agglomerating ore fines in a heap leaching operation, the rotary drum often serves …
The granulation of fertilizer products provides one of the most viable ways to produce granular multi-nutrient fertilizers, improving bulk storage, packaging qualities, as well as promoting ease of handling and application. To achieve this, fertilizer producers rely on the granulation drum – a device known …
This week’s photo illustrates the build-up, or sticking of material in a granulation drum. Granulation drums, used in the fertilizer industry, can be prone to build-up on the interior of the drum for a couple of different reasons. Often times, the material or binder can …
The trunnion wheel, also known as a trunnion roller, is a key structural component of any rotary drum base. What trunnion wheels are available? FEECO supplies trunnion wheels in 4140 or 4340 stainless steel. Sizes are available all the way up to 48” in diameter. …
Rotary drum granulators, also known as agglomeration or granulation drums, 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/granulation equipment and evaluating …
This week’s photo, taken in the FEECO Fabrication facility, shows a FEECO employee using a laser shaft alignment tool to properly align the coupling on the shafts of a drive assembly. The coupling joins the shafts between the drive motor and reducer. The shafts are …
