As populations increase, so does the need for resources, including metals such as nickel, silver, gold, copper, and uranium. However, it is not always economically viable to extract these metals from their low-grade ores. And now more than ever, recovering them from what is available …
Rotary drums are widely used throughout industrial production facilities to accomplish a variety of objectives, including drying, cooling, granulation, coating, and more. While rotary drum equipment is recognized for its reliability and longevity, challenges can arise, with the most common being buildup, corrosion, and abrasion. …
Rotary kilns are a highly engineered thermal processing device, capable of carrying out a wide variety of objectives, from catalyst production to metal recovery. While much of the design of a rotary kiln is engineered around the unique characteristics of the material to be processed …
Rotary kilns are widely used throughout many industries to carry out various chemical reactions and physical changes in bulk solids. As all materials respond differently, rotary kilns must be designed around the exact project specifications and material characteristics at hand in order to reach an …
Rotary kilns are widely used throughout a variety of industries to carry out chemical reactions and phase changes in materials. A highly engineered device, rotary kilns must be designed around the specific requirements of the material and project goals at hand. Rotary kiln design takes …
Rotary kilns are a high-temperature thermal processing device used to cause a chemical reaction or phase change in a material. Able to process hundreds of materials, the applications in which rotary kilns can be used continue to grow – from the production of specialty chemicals, …
The rotary kiln, sometimes also referred to as a calciner, is a highly engineered thermal processing device. Unlike rotary dryers, which serve to reduce the moisture content in a given bulk solid, rotary kilns are intended to cause a physical change or chemical reaction in …
In thermal processing applications, controlling moisture content is critical to achieving both material quality and process efficiency. A common challenge in designing rotary kilns for bulk solids is determining whether the unit can—or should—be used to remove excess moisture from the feedstock. While rotary kilns …
Whether a rotary drum is being used as a dryer, kiln, cooler, or otherwise, it is often a key process component in a production setting. As a result, downtime for the rotary drum can have the potential to hold an entire operation on idle. For …
Rotary dryers have been a part of the thermal processing industry for over a century, and have earned their reputation as the industrial drying workhorse. These robust industrial drying systems have become a staple in just about every industry requiring bulk solids to be dried, …
