Micro-pelletizing is the process of agglomerating material fines into small pellets, or micro-pellets, from 20-60 mesh. It is can be carried out in either pin mixer, or a pin mixer/pan pelletizer setup. Pin mixers alone are ideal when only small pellets or material conditioning is necessary.
Micro-pelletizing can benefit nearly any material that comes in powder form, and therefore the applications for it are innumerable and growing.
Some of the most common micro-pelletized materials include:
-
- Carbon black
- Catalysts
- Coal dust
- Filter media
- Fly ash
- Pigments and dyestuffs
- And more
FEECO has been a leader in the agglomeration industry since the 1950s. We provide micro-pelletizing test work in our state-of-the-art Innovation Center, in addition to custom pin mixers and pan pelletizers.
