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
