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 …
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 …
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 …
The flow properties of a bulk solid can have a significant impact on process efficiency and the success of the end product. And while bins, hoppers, and the like are often designed to minimize such issues, agglomeration can be a valuable tool in improving the …
A pin mixer can be an incredibly valuable tool in a limestone pelletizing system, offering several benefits to both the process and the product. Made up of Calcium Carbonate and typically crushed prior to use, limestone intended for use as a soil amendment is processed …
Feedstock inconsistency is a major cause of issues in bulk solids processing operations. As such, ensuring a consistent feedstock is often the first step to mitigating potential problems, streamlining production, and improving end product quality. A wide variety of complications may result from an inconsistent …
Feasibility testing for drum drying processes offers valuable information when designing an industrial drying system. Feasibility testing offers the opportunity to confirm the viability of your intended process, as well as to work out process variables and other unknown data points, helping to define a …
Whether an industrial process is new or well established, the path from concept to production is often complex and unclear. Spanning over a time frame of months and even years, adequately moving through the various stages of process development is the foundation of a successful …
From developing a new product, to optimizing an existing process, the agglomeration testing conducted in the FEECO Innovation Center provides a pivotal link between question and answer for producers looking at particle agglomeration as a way to solve their material challenges. The following information offers …
The performance of a rotary dryer is vital to maximizing process efficiency and capacity in any industrial process setting. While a well-designed dryer will yield few problems of its own, various factors can cause the performance of the overall drying operation to degrade. Process audits …
