A method for producing biochar aggregate particles that comprising the steps of (i) collecting or producing treated biochar fines less than 1 mm, (ii) adding a binding agent to the fines, (iii) forming the fines and binding agent into solid aggregate particles. The steps may further include, for example, adding additives to the fines, drying the solid aggregate particles, activing the binder after forming the solid aggregate particles with heat or cold temperatures and/or treating the biochar fines prior to forming the aggregate particles.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for coating a material by contacting the material with a coating material and a solvent are disclosed herein. The coated material can be obtained by evaporating the solvent: by heating the coated material directly or indirectly with electromagnetic radiation; by heating with heat generated from a heat source that heats an internal container for the material to be coated and/or coated material; and/or in an interior volume of a coating container having a side wall, by heating a portion of the side wall of the coating container and/or internal container with a heat source that is positioned outside of the interior volume of the coating container.

A granular coating conveyor system for coating granular particles carried in compartments along a tubular conveyor member. Coating fluid is fed over the granular particles through radial nozzles located inside a co-axial rotating blender with tubular member upstream discharge port and tubular member downstream return ingress port for the granular particles. The blender is a drum having a helicoidal spiral screw integrally mounted to an interior peripheral wall face of the drum and extending therealong radially outwardly of the tubular member mixing in the drum in tumbling fashion the granular particles with coating fluid and guiding same therealong, so as to dynamically form a kidney shape mass of granular particles.

A microbial repairing agent production line includes a feeder, where the feeder is connected to a storage bin, the bottom of the storage bin is connected to a metering tank, the metering tank is in communication with a granulator through a spiral or pneumatic conveying apparatus, a screening device is arranged below the granulator, and a discharge port of the screening device is connected to one end of a conveyor belt; a production process for includes: conveying a raw material to a storage bin through a feeder; then adding the raw materials to a metering tank in sequence through a spiral or pneumatic conveying apparatus, and metering and weighing the raw materials; conveying metered raw materials into a granulator; discharging the microbial repairing agent; and screening the microbial repairing agent, and collecting and maintaining the microbial repairing agent.

A dry powder coating apparatus for coating pharmaceutical solid dosage forms includes a housing; a drum coater; a powder coating system; a liquid spray system; a ventilation system; a heating system; a touch screen control panel; and an operation box. The drum coater may have a truncated cone on both sides, in which one side is opened and another side is closed. The drum coater is horizontally placed inside the operation box along its axis and fixed on a rotatable shaft and a motor drives the rotatable shaft and rotates the drum coater about its own axis.

Providing a mixing apparatus capable of efficiently input noodles coated with an additive to a receiving tray, and having no need to perform weighing again after the noodles are input to the receiving tray.

The mixing apparatus 8 includes: a hopper 30 that houses the falling noodles and that allows noodles to fall while rotating; and a supply device 60 that supplies a sauce to the noodles in the hopper 30, and at least two hopper 30 are provided in a falling direction.

A tumbler crystallizer for crystallizing pelleted, tacky, polymeric materials includes a housing for rotatably supporting a removable paneled drum on rollers. The removable panels may be made of a transparent, heat-insulating material. The drum receives a flow of hot pellets through an inlet chute, and a tumbling action of the drum and internal agitators keeps the pellets in motion relative to each other to prevent agglomeration until they reach a desired level of crystallinity and are no longer tacky. Baffle plates are provided at intervals along the length of the drum to slow the flow of pellets therethrough to increase residence time. Damper plates are provided near the exit end of the drum to aid in building a bed of pellets within the drum, and also to control residence time of the pellets within the drum.

A process for producing prills, in particular fertilizer prills, coated with at least one biologically degradable polymer layer, in particular a PLA layer, may involve applying a degradable polymer layer to a carrier material of the respective prill in a drum coating step, in particular in a drum coater at relative negative pressure, and then coating the prills with a second degradable polymer layer on top of the first degradable polymer layer in a fluidized bed coating step, in particular in a fluidized bed coater at a relative positive pressure. Coating the prills with the second degradable polymer layer may involve introducing the prills into a fluidized bed coater after the drum coating step, and the fluidized bed coating step may be performed spatially adjacent alongside the drum coating step.
