Powder-container design affects discharge rate, cleanability, and powder flow. Flow problems, such as ratholing, arching, and erratic flow, can be eliminated with appropriate container geometry.

When working with powders, in-process performance and final product quality will be influenced by the properties of the raw materials delivered to the process. The ability to control these raw ...

Compared to fluids, engineers’ training and education in bulk solids handling is lacking. Perhaps that is why it is often easy to identify which lines or equipment in a facility handle powders — they ...

This article, presents a new collaborative study from Freeman Technology and Gericke to establish predictive correlations for the volumetric flow rate delivered by screw feeders, using dynamic powder ...

How effective powder characterization can lead to better powder understanding and control. Understanding and controlling powder behaviour can help to formulate clinically effective products, design ...
