Solving Material Segregation in Batch Mixing Processes
APEC explains the causes of material segregation in the batching process and makes some helpful suggestions to assist in ways to overcome these challenges.
When solid materials mix, a degree of material segregation is inevitable. A variety of processes are used to achieve a predetermined level of uniformity in batch mixing processes, however other processes downstream can cause the materials to separate again. With proper design considerations and awareness of the material segregation physics at work, processes and products can be tested for separation, and product defects can be avoided.
