Rotary drums are central to many industrial processes, serving to dry, cool, agglomerate, heat, and even coat bulk solids. While in some cases production can be redirected to another drum, or simply taken offline when a mechanical failure occurs, in most cases, an out-of-commission rotary …
Flights, or material lifters, play an essential role in promoting efficient heat transfer in rotary dryers, coolers, and in some cases, kilns, helping to create the optimal “curtain” of material cascading through the air flow. What flights are available? FEECO offers a range of options …
This week’s photo from the FEECO Fabrication Center shows refractory being poured into place for a rotary kiln door. Refractory serves the purpose of insulating and protecting the shell of the drum from the high temperatures within. The type of refractory shown here is poured …
Burners for rotary dryers and kilns provide the heat source needed to process material; without them, thermal processing operations are left at a standstill. What burners are available? FEECO can provide burners based on a range of specifications, including for various fuel sources, flame shaping …
When purchasing a roofing system, many consumers are choosing innovative roofing options to conserve energy usage in their home, generate long-term financial benefits, or conform to newly instituted building codes.
