New Content Alert: Material Profiles

In order to answer your most frequently asked questions, each material profile includes an overview of the specified material, its unique characteristics, common processing methods and applications, as well as processing issues and frequently used equipment. In addition, FEECO’s unique capabilities relating to the material are also highlighted. So far, you can view material profiles for:

• Potash
  Potash is a main ingredient in many fertilizers, due to its high potassium content. It is commonly processed using the compaction granulation method, though interest in pelletizing this valuable material is beginning to grow.
• Gypsum
  Gypsum is used throughout a variety of industries, most notably in construction materials and soil amendments. Gypsum delivers much-needed calcium to plants, and offers many benefits in various construction materials.
• Limestone
  Limestone is mainly processed for use as a soil amendment, because it has the ability to raise soil pH. Limestone is frequently pelletized in order to mitigate product issues such as dust and unpredictable application.
• Fly Ash
  Fly Ash is a by-product of the coal burning process. Fly Ash has been shown to be a valuable additive in the cement-making process. Fly Ash is commonly pelletized and/or conditioned to alleviate dust-related issues.
