FEECOโs durable equipment has found its place in many industries, but the latest, is the frac sand industry. Frac sand is the latest craze in the Midwest, and as companies look to mine this valued silica sand, the FEECO sand dryer, along with other equipment, …
The following article was featured in the Sept/Oct issue of “Fertilizer International.” More Than An Equipment Company As a pioneer in rotary drying technology, FEECO International was founded in 1951 to supply the fertilizer industry and a variety of companies in the chemical processing, mining, …
Frac sand drying may seem like a simple task, but there is much more to it than meets the eye. When it comes to frac sand drying, there are a lot of factors to consider throughout the processing of the proppant sand that will dictate …
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, …
In addition to the many material characteristics that must be considered during the sizing and design stages of engineering a custom rotary dryer, there are also a few operating environment factors to consider as well. Atmosphere Considerations: Humidity Humid air is already moisture-laden, meaning that …
Rotary dryers are used across nearly every industry that requires the drying of bulk solids, be it for producing a product for consumer use, serving as an intermediary step in a larger process, or producing an industrial product that will maintain its integrity throughout its …
Several material characteristics must be included in the design of a rotary dryer that operates efficiently and reliably. In addition to a materialโs specific heat, its heat transfer properties must also be taken into account during the dryer sizing and design process. Material Specifications: Heat …
Rotary dryers are the backbone of many industrial processes, ensuring bulk solids are properly and efficiently dried to produce a product ready for market or subsequent processing. The design and sizing of a rotary dryer is engineered around the characteristics of the material to be …
Rotary dryers perform best when they are engineered around the specifications of the project at hand – a process that starts by analyzing the material. In addition to the difference between inlet and outlet moisture, a materialโs bulk density will also impact some of the …
