Pelletization, a non-pressure method of agglomeration, is an effective process for many materials, offering a variety of economic, environmental, and product benefits. The list below highlights several materials capable of pelletization:
- Agricultural chemicals: pesticides, fertilizers, herbicides, minerals.
- Ceramics: catalyst, alumina, frits.
- Chemicals: detergents, pigments, dyes, industrial carbons.
- Copper: concentrates, precipitates.
- Glass: raw mix and glass powder.
- Nonmetallic minerals: clay, fluorspar, talc.
- Steel: coke fines, electric furnace baghouse dust, iron ore.
- Utilities: ash, coal dust, FGD sludge.
Will your material pelletize? This basic question can be answered via agglomeration feasibility testing in the FEECO Innovation Center. Here, our team of Process Experts can test your material to not only confirm pelletization, but can also recommend the best method to do so.
