This week’s photo shows a steep incline conveyor in 3D. FEECO’s steep incline conveyors are designed to move materials vertically, at angles ranging from 18-90 degrees, while still maintaining discharge and feed qualities of a standard belt conveyor. The advantages of FEECO’s design include: Less …
This week’s photo shows a newly installed bucket elevator. While FEECO has made its name in the agglomeration, thermal processing, and fertilizer granulation industries, little be known to some is that we, too, can provide the bulk material handling equipment needed to transport materials throughout …
This week’s photo is a belt feeder in FEECO’s Fabrication Facility. Our assembly team is currently constructing the piece for a repeat customer. Belt feeders are comprised of a conveyor belt on rollers. They provide a controlled discharge rate of material from the bin or hopper into …
No matter what equipment you’re working with, your preventative maintenance program should require a routine, thorough inspection of the equipment at hand. The same holds true for belt conveyors. The following belt conveyor components should be regularly inspected to ensure ideal operation, and to extend …
Today’s photo shows a belt plow under fabrication at FEECO. Belt plows serve as an auxiliary material discharge system, releasing material on either side of the belt before the head pulley. They are added onto troughed belt conveyors and primarily work to increase flexibility in …
This week’s photo comes from a customer site, where truss frame conveyors await installation. These conveyors, complete with one side walkway, were assembled on the ground, prior to erection. A notable feature with this bulk material handling equipment is that instead of being painted, these …
Our photo this week shows several bucket elevator head assemblies in a potash processing facility. Bucket elevators are a common choice for potash handling, with the double chain type being the most commonly used, due to the increased capacity and height capability this configuration can …
This week’s photo shows material being discharged from a conveyor in FEECO’s lab facility. The conveyor shown is transferring raw material to a paddle mixer, where it will undergo conditioning. While the main focus of FEECO’s lab tends to be around agglomeration and thermal testing, …
Our photo this week is a conveyor system from the late 60s. FEECO is an experienced leader in the bulk material handling industry, specializing in the design and construction of highly engineered material handling systems, including belt conveyors, steep incline conveyors, bucket elevators, belt trippers, …
This week’s photo shows bucket elevators ready for shipment at the FEECO headquarters. Bucket elevators are an integral component in many bulk material handling systems, with their capability to transport materials vertically. The buckets are attached to a chain or rotating belt and work by: …
