Feeco International, Inc. products

From pilot scale units, to commercial size coolers, we have the knowledge and experience to build a rotary cooler that’s right for you. FEECO’s rotary coolers are custom designed and built to meet the needs of your process. Whether you require short or long residence times, carbon steel or specialty steels, FEECO can design a rotary cooler for your application. Rotary coolers work by tumbling material in a rotating drum in the presence of chilled or ambient air. The drum is set at a slight horizontal slope to allow gravity to assist in moving material through the drum. Lifting flights maximize heat transfer efficiency by lifting up material and dropping it through the chilled air as the drum rotates. Indirect water deluge coolers are also available.

FEECO has been building agglomeration drums since 1951. We design our drums according to the needs of your unique process and material. Agglomeration drums are an ideal solution for high capacity agglomeration operations, or when agglomeration needs to be combined with a chemical reaction, such as in the production of granular fertilizers. Agglomeration drums work by tumbling material in a rotating drum in the presence of a binding agent. The binding agent causes the fines to become tacky and allows them to pick up additional fines, forming agglomerates in a process referred to as coalescence. The tumbling action helps to round the agglomerates and create a homogenous mixture.

FEECO has been building custom bucket elevators for over 65 years. We offer a variety of bucket elevator designs and sizes to handle materials ranging from dry dusty powders such as fly ash, to heavy materials such as iron ore pellets. Bucket elevators can be ordered in a number of configurations, including centrifugal belt, centrifugal chain, continuous belt, continuous single chain and continuous double chain.

FEECO is the leading provider of custom bulk conveying systems. We offer heavy-duty belt conveyors for a wide range of bulk handling applications.

FEECO has been designing and building innovative bulk material handling equipment since 1951. Each system is created to meet the specific needs of the material and the desired output. In some cases, a fixed belt conveyor that discharges material in the same location just isn’t enough. In these situations, the best solution may be a custom designed reversing shuttle conveyor.

Many material handling system requirements include the need for a device to create a storage pile of product. This can be accomplished with something as simple as a fixed stackout conveyor, or as complex as a luffing / slewing powered radial stacking conveyor. Some of the factors that determine what type of equipment should be used include storage capacity requirement vs. space available, material characteristics such as dust or flow problems, and reclaim methods, to mention a few.

When it comes to fertilizer processing, our granulation drums (also known as rotary drum granulators) can’t be beat. With over 65 years of experience in providing equipment to the fertilizer industry, FEECO has built a reputation for quality, efficiency, and longevity in granulation drums. We offer various configurations to suit your fertilizer processing needs, whether organic, or inorganic. Granulation drums work by tumbling material in a rotating drum, typically in the presence of a binder. The binder causes the fines to become tacky and allows them to pick up additional fines, forming agglomerates in a process referred to as coalescence. The tumbling action helps to round the agglomerates and create a homogenous mixture. Granulation drums are frequently used in fertilizer production, when agglomeration must be combined with a chemical reaction. A pipe reactor can be integrated to increase efficiency where applicable.
