How To Improve Powder Flow

How To Improve Powder Flow. Mechanical flow aids impart energy to aid material flow, while flow additives, as discussed here alter the material’s properties. What are the benefits of using a fluidizer?

Powder flow testing and control from www.slideshare.net

Reducing or breaking interparticulate forces, such as electrostatic or van der waals interactions, allows particles to move more easily with respect to one another, thereby enhancing flowability. Granulation is a common technique to help to improve product flow and achieve mass flow. This 2nd force is measured and corresponds to the force to slide the sample of material.
