Description
The course presents the principles and techniques of mixing
free-flowing or cohesive powders. Selection of suitable
industrial equipment for particular mixing duties will be
discussed analyzing mixer performance in terms of process
advantages, mixture quality and the flexibility of the mixer for
multi-product manufacture.
Other topics to be covered include powder sampling
techniques, a practical discussion of the statistics of mixing,
the significance of statistics in powder formulation, the
aggregation of mixtures, and the use of lubricants and flow
aids for powders.
There will be special emphasis on the mixing of cohesive
powders and the opportunities this can present to produce
superior quality mixtures. The handling, packaging and
marketing of powder products will also be discussed.
