FEECO expands agglomeration rental equipment program

(FEECO International release) — FEECO International has expanded its agglomeration rental equipment program, giving producers greater flexibility to meet production surges, accelerate research and development, and validate processes in-house without the commitment of a capital purchase.

The option to rent has become a growing request as producers of fertilizers, catalysts, specialty chemicals and the like look to enhance their products. Rental equipment can offer producers faster market entry and lower financial risk, while also providing the opportunity to test representative equipment in-house before making a capital investment. 

FEECO has put considerable resources into improving the company’s rental program, both from a customer experience standpoint and from an equipment offerings standpoint. Alongside streamlining the overall rental process, the company has added new equipment to its rental line and upgraded existing equipment to meet changing market demands. The company offers batch and continuous pin mixers, pugmill mixers and disc pelletizers in several sizes to suit various testing and production needs. 

Pin and pugmill mixers are widely used to mix, condition, de-dust and agglomerate bulk materials, while disc pelletizers excel in producing uniform, spherical granules. A versatile rotary drum can be configured for agglomeration, mixing or coating applications.

“Rental equipment eliminates the biggest barriers producers face: long lead times and significant upfront costs,” says Michael Johnson, Customer Service – Parts Sales Engineer at FEECO International. “It’s an economical, low-risk way to meet short-term production demands, conduct development work, or trial equipment before making a purchase.”

The equipment is available for short- and long-term rental, with discounts available on extended agreements. For customers requiring more guided testing, FEECO offers expert-led batch- and pilot-scale testing in the company’s in-house Innovation Center.
