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 …
Many factors are taken into consideration when designing a rotary drum dryer that can both efficiently and effectively dry a material. Factors such as the material’s bulk density, heat sensitivity, particle size, and flowability, among others, all interact to influence how the material will behave …
One of the most challenging aspects buyers face in the purchase of capital equipment is ensuring the equipment can meet their process and material objectives. The same holds true for fluid bed dryers, which are widely used throughout various industries to dry bulk solids in …
Rotary coolers are essential tools in industrial processing facilities across the globe, cooling product for subsequent handling, storage, or bagging. How does a rotary cooler work? A rotary cooler works by passing ambient or chilled air through a horizontal rotating drum. Material is fed into …
A flexible and popular means of drying bulk solids, fluid bed dryers are often a top contender in the selection of an industrial drying system. And as with any industrial dryer, fluid bed dryers have inherent advantages and disadvantages that make them a better fit …
Fluid bed dryers offer an efficient and effective means of drying bulk solids for a variety of industries. For facilities considering the use of this industrial dryer, understanding the basic principles behind fluid beds is essential. The following provides a comprehensive overview on the key …
Dams are used to increase the retention time or bed depth in a rotary kiln. Material builds up behind the dam, forcing retention time and bed depth to increase. Material then spills over the dam and discharges from the rotary kiln. Since most rotary kilns …
Efficiently and effectively drying bulk solids is an essential aspect of modern industrial processing, no matter the industry. Among the various technologies available, fluid bed dryers have proven to be both diverse and reliable, as well as capable of processing a wide variety of materials. …
Rotary dryers and rotary kilns share similar thermal processing functions, but each is intended for very different industrial applications. Rotary dryers operate at inlet temperatures between 600 and 1400ºF, and are predominately used to draw moisture out of a material. Rotary kilns, on the other …
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 …
