Variable Frequency Drives, or VFDs, are not a new technology, but only in recent decades have advancements in the field lowered many of the barriers associated with widespread VFD use, allowing their application in a range of settings. A recent market study anticipates that the …
Potash coolers play a key role in the potash manufacturing process, helping producers bring their products to market efficiently and effectively. And while cooling is a relatively straightforward task, it is still a large undertaking requiring flexibility and expertise in order to consistently and reliably …
Our photo this week is a 3D rotary cooler. Rotary coolers are a common equipment of choice when it comes to cooling bulk solids. They utilize direct contact between the material and cooling air, in combination with lifting flights, to maximize heat transfer between the material …
This weekโs highlighted resource is a brochure on FEECOโs rotary dryers and coolers. As a leading provider of custom rotary dryers and coolers, the FEECO brochure highlights options for both direct and indirect units for drying and cooling nearly any bulk solid material.ย Click here …
Rotary coolers offer an effective approach to cooling bulk solids exiting a rotary kiln or dryer, allowing material to safely move on to packaging, handling, or transport. These diverse industrial coolers are available in two primary configurations: convective (direct) and indirect water deluge, each with …
From foods to minerals, a variety of industries use industrial coolers to cool bulk solids for subsequent handling, storage, or transportation. When selecting industrial cooling equipment, the choice often comes down to a rotary cooler or a fluid bed cooler. In general, rotary coolers have …
The field of bulk solids is incredibly diverse, encompassing industries ranging from food and pharmaceuticals to fertilizers and process by-products. Processing bulk solids into a ready feedstock or end product can involve an array of process techniques, from crushing and mixing to high temperature techniques …
Our photo this week is a 3D indirect rotary cooler. An indirect cooler consists of a rotary drum, stationary housing, water trough, and water collection system. These components work together to cool hot material within a controlled environment. The stationary housing encloses the rotary drum, …
Todayโs photo shows the interior of a rotary cooler. The material inside of the cooler is dried distillers grains with solubles, also known as DDGS. DDGS is a is a by-product of ethanol production, and can be used as an animal feed ingredient due to …
While nickel is perhaps most commonly known for its use in coins, it is also an important material in many industrial processes. Nickel’s high melting point, ductility, and resistance to corrosion when alloyed lends itself to a wide range of industrial applications and materials, making …
