Pellets treated by micro pelletizing

What is Micro Pelletizing? Micro pelletizing is the process of agglomerating material fines into small pellets. Unlike traditional pelletizing, where slightly larger pellets are produced, micro pelletizing produces pellets around 20-60 mesh. Micro pelletizing can be carried out either in a stand-alone pin mixer (this …

Micropellets

This week’s photo highlights a micro-pelletized paint pigment sample from FEECO’s Innovation Center. Micro-pelletizing is the practice of agglomerating material fines into small pellets. Unlike traditional pelletizing, this process produces a smaller end-product- typically pellets between 20 to 60 mesh. It is most commonly used …

What Does a Typical Micropelletizing (Micropelletising) Setup Look Like

Micro-pelletizing can be carried out in a pin mixer, or in a pin mixer/disc pelletizer (pan granulator) combination. Pin mixers alone often provide efficient results when full-scale pelletizing is not necessary, or when only smaller pellets or conditioning is needed. To begin, the pin mixer …

Micropelletizing (Micropelletising)

Micro-pelletizing is the process of agglomerating material fines into small pellets, ranging in size from 20-60 mesh. Like all agglomeration techniques, micro-pelletizing provides a host of benefits including: Significant dust reduction/elimination: micro-pelletizing prevents material from becoming windblown, and thus less product is lost due to …
