Before the valuable portion can be recovered or sent for downstream processing, the material generally needs to be reduced, screened, classified, separated, and transported. This sequence is commonly known as the ore dressing process. Mineral …

In many industrial processes, feeding a material at a consistent rate is just as important as mixing, heating, conveying, or packaging it. A small variation in the amount of an ingredient can affect product quality, formulation consistency, material usage, and ultimately production cost. This is where the choice between loss-in-weight feeders and volumetric feeders becomes important. Both technologies are designed to control the delivery …
There are a wide range of material handling equipment being used in several industries to carry out different processes. One such equipment that plays a vital role in most industries is a feeder. It is basically a material handling equipment, which helps in regulating the flow of bulk material from one point to other (ideally, from a bin to a hopper). It is a …
