This weekโs photo shows the tail end of a belt conveyor. The conveyor is currently under construction at FEECOโs Fabrication Facility located in Green Bay, WI (USA). FEECOโs belt conveyors are available in configurations of 18โ to 72โ wide, and work with capacities of up …
Todayโs photo highlights a high speed mixer. FEECOโs high speed mixers are ideal for producing MCP and DCP animal feeds. They are mounted on top of pugmill mixers, and provide a thorough reaction of feed components, in addition to a mixture of materials, before processing …
This weekโs photo highlights a nearly completed rotary cooler in FEECOโs Fabrication Facility. FEECO is a one-stop shop when it comes to custom rotary coolers. From conducting thermal feasibility tests in our Innovation Center, engineering and manufacturing coolers around the unique material to be processed, …
Our photo this week comes from a processing plant where a rotary kiln is being used to process a bulk solid. The equipment in the image is a direct-fired rotary kiln with insulation on the exterior of the drum shell. Insulation helps to increase efficiency …
This weekโs photo highlights FEECOโs industrial mixer options: the pin mixer, and pugmill mixer, also known as a paddle mixer. Pin mixers are ideal for processing fine materials in the presence of a liquid binder. They consist of a central rotar shaft affixed with pins, …
This weekโs photo reveals rotary drum tire wear (left) and tire restoration (right). Through normal wear and tear over time, tires can develop pitting, spalling, timing marks, or grooves, as seen in the left photo. If untreated, these load bearing surfaces can cause the weight …
This weekโs photo highlights FEECOโs floating tire design. The effects of thermal expansion are overcome by having tires of โfree floatingโ construction. Shim plates and keeper bars are located so that the tires are supported away from the shell, minimizing thermal distortion and yet allowing …
Todayโs photo highlights a discย pelletizer (pan granulator) project, showcasing FEECOโs scope of work from drawings by our drafters and design team, all the way through to robust equipment manufacturing. The equipment was produced for a repeat customer, and weighs over 53,000 pounds, stands 18 feet …
This weekโs photo highlights the pins, or rod-like mechanisms, in a pin mixer. Pin mixers are a diverse industrial mixing solution, ideal for blending, conditioning, agglomerating, and de-dusting fine materials. They can work as a stand-alone piece of equipment, or as a precursor to pelletization …
This weekโs photo highlights a hooded disc pelletizer (also known as a pan granulator) in the FEECO Innovation Center. Hoods are occasionally used during disc pelletizer operation to protect the operator from hazardous materials. Maintaining a safe work environment is a top priority for any …
