While countless hours go into developing a process, engineering the right equipment, and selecting the best vendors, one often-overlooked but critical aspect of a successful production line is the recycle loop, particularly when it comes to processing bulk solids. A bulk solids plant is not …
More than 30 million tonnes of potash are produced worldwide each year, making it an important mineral for a number of product manufacturers, as well as an integral component in fruitful crop production. However, potashโs widespread use does not mean it is always easy to …
Limestone processing equipment plays a critical role in transforming quarried limestone into a variety of valuable products, but the materialโs diverse characteristics often present unique challenges in production. From its variable chemical composition to its tendency for buildup and abrasion, limestone can complicate operations if …
Disc pelletizer training is a commonly overlooked, but essential aspect to a successful pelletizing operation. Pelletizing material on a disc pelletizer is considered a blend of both art and science; a number of variables must be balanced to maintain consistent product throughput and produce an …
Coating, typically carried out in a coating drum, is a finishing process used prolifically throughout industries working with agglomerates to meet a wide variety of objectives. A surface treatment for particles, coating can enhance specific characteristics of a pellet, granule, or other agglomerate, be it a …
Choosing a binder is one of the most important aspects of the agitation agglomeration (wet granulation) process. With implications on both the process and end use, selecting the appropriate binder requires careful consideration and often testing to evaluate different options. As the leading expert in …
While much of the soil health discussion has centered around fertilizer use, soil amendments and conditioners are an equally critical tool in soil restoration efforts and our ability to feed the anticipated 9 billion people inhabiting the earth by 2050. While fertilizers deliver the nutrients …
Since 1951, FEECO International has built a reputation as the leader in rotary kiln design and manufacturing. Part of our success is owed to the FEECO Innovation Center, a state-of-the-art testing facility where our team of process experts conduct a variety of thermal tests to …
One of the most challenging aspects buyers face in the purchase of capital equipment is ensuring the equipment can meet their process and material objectives. The same holds true for fluid bed dryers, which are widely used throughout various industries to dry bulk solids in …
The rotary kiln testing carried out in the FEECO Innovation Center is often critical to gathering process data and developing the groundwork for a safe, efficient, and effective thermal processing operation. This testing gives producers the opportunity to predict how their material will behave in …
