Manufactured (or synthetic) polymers were introduced in the 1800s, and since then, they have contributed significantly to our quality of life. Many products we rely on daily would not be possible without plastics, and those that would be possible without plastics have been vastly improved with plastics.
Converting bulk powders to spherical pellets requires precise drying to avoid altering the pellets’ size, shape or properties. For one company, fluid-bed drying technologies fit the bill best.
Mars Mineral designs and builds turnkey systems to convert bulk powder materials into spherical pellets. To develop the pelletizing process for a customer, the company offers research and testing services, including the pilot pelletizing line at the company’s 45,000 ft2 (4,180 m2) production facility in Mars, Pa., near Pittsburgh.
