Pelletizing, a type of tumble-growth (non-pressure) agglomeration, is a valuable tool in the mineral processing industry. The techniqueโs diverse functionality and wide applicability have made it a common processing technique for a broad range of minerals. Hereโs a look at how the mineral processing industry …
Just as there is significant diversity among granular fertilizer and soil amendment products, there are many ways in which these products can be produced. Whether producing a single nutrient product, a multi-nutrient complex fertilizer, organic-based fertilizer, or soil amendment, the process configuration for a given …
Pelletization is an agglomeration process whereby material fines are โgrownโ through a tumbling motion in the presence of a liquid binder or water. While all agglomeration processes can be customized to suit the unique needs of the material being processed, in general, it follows these …
Pin mixers are industrial mixing devices used to process fine materials in the presence of a binder. They are especially adept for micro-pelletizing and de-dusting applications. The following materials are often processed in a pin mixer. Mixing Conditioning Agglomeration FEECOโs pin mixers are …
This week’s photo highlights a material before and after processing in the FEECO Innovation Center’s batch pin mixer. Pin mixers are adept for mixing, agglomerating, conditioning, micro-pelletizing, and de-dusting applications. The intense spinning action allows them to densify material and create small pellets, an ideal …
Agglomeration labs are regularly conducted at FEECO International, as our Process Experts test materials for feasibility, optimize current processing methods, and help customers create their ideal product. And while weโve worked with hundreds of materials over the years, one that we frequently see in the …
Pelletizing is a valuable tool in managing the properties of bulk solids. From flowability to bulk density and so much more, pelletizing gives producers in nearly every industry a way to control the handling and performance characteristics of their bulk solids. And while pelletizing provides …
Our photo this week highlights a pin mixer currently under production in FEECOโs Fabrication Facility. Pin mixers are industrial mixers used to condition, mix, micro-pelletize, and agglomerate material. They can be used a pre-cursor to a disc pelletizing or agglomeration drum set-up, or as a …
Some limestone pelletizing operations use a pin mixer to condition the material prior to processing it on a disc pelletizer. While this step is not required, adding a pin mixer to a limestone pelletization process offers many benefits to the overall agglomeration operation at hand, …
An effective maintenance program is indispensable to sustaining an efficient, productive limestone pelletizing operation. While maintenance is often overlooked, it should always be incorporated as part of a facilityโs regular operation procedures. Limestone pelletizer plant maintenance ensures equipment reliability, preserves a safe work environment, and …
