A rotary drum, be it a dryer, cooler, agglomerator, or otherwise, is a major investment and integral part of many industrial processing systems. From drying and cooling bulk solids before storage, to agglomerating ore fines in a heap leaching operation, the rotary drum often serves …
Drying plays a critical role in the agglomeration process. When used prior to agglomeration, drying prepares material feedstock for agglomerate formation, and has a direct effect on how material will perform during agglomeration. Used after agglomeration, drying cures pellets into their final, strong form. In …
