Mars, PA -- Mars Mineral, a manufacturer of pelletizing equipment and systems, has won contracts from F.L. Smidth & Co. and Fuller International, Inc. to supply Deep Drum Pelletizers to process cement kiln bypass dust into pellets.

"These contracts are for the third and fourth Deep Drum Pelletizers supplied to the Egyptian Cement industry.

In addition to producing machinery that converts fine dusts and powders into pellets, the company offers materials testing, equipment rental, pelletizing systems and solutions.
