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.
