Indirect rotary kilns, or rotary calciners, offer three major advantages over their direct-fired counterparts, as outlined below. When processing in a direct-fired rotary kiln, fine materials can become entrained in the gas and carried out to the baghouse. An indirect kiln avoids this issue because …
Each week on our home page, we feature three articles that are highly relevant under the current market circumstances. This week, we’re highlighting: Rotary Kilns in Expanded Clay Aggregate Production Rotary Kilns in Expanded Clay Aggregate Production looks at how the rotary kiln is used …
This week’s photo highlights two direct-fired rotary kilns. Rotary kilns are a significant investment in any thermal processing operation. That’s why FEECO’s kilns are always precisely engineered and fabricated to meet the requirements of the specific process and material at hand. A general overview of …

In the complex production required to transform spodumene concentrate into lithium compounds such as lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide, calcination plays a key role in not one, but two parts of the process, making it an essential technique in efforts to exploit this increasingly important …
Organic combustion is the thermal treatment of organic wastes with the intent of reducing mass and volume. This process is frequently seen in waste treatment plants in order to reduce the volume of organic wastes for deposit into landfill. Organic combustion leaves behind an ash …
The rotary kiln is a diverse thermal processing device capable of carrying out a variety of process objectives, from burning off volatile components to activating carbon, and more. As a substantial investment, those looking to purchase a rotary kiln must make every effort to avoid …
The lithium-ion battery market has seen explosive growth in recent years, largely in response to the growing electric vehicle market, coupled with the increasing use of consumer electronics and a desire to advance energy storage technology for renewable energy applications. A Grand View Research report …
Kaolin clay, also known as China clay, is an essential industrial mineral primarily made up of the mineral kaolinite – a hydrous aluminum silicate. Kaolin can be found in applications all around us, from consumer products, to advanced industrial processing. Most notably, kaolin is lauded …
This week’s photo highlights a ball and tube knocking system. Knocking systems are often implemented to combat build-up inside of a rotary dryer. The systems are usually externally fitted on the inlet end of the dryer, where the incoming material is most wet and sticky. …
