Predict Powder Flow Behavior by Measuring Density

15 Mar 2019

In this note, it is shown that systems that use the well-established principle of shear cell technology can measure the density of powder over several compression stages, and thereby predict how the powder is likely to flow. The Brookfield powder flow tester is used here in order to generate data that constitutes a flow function.

Mills, Sieves and PressesMills, sieves and presses are used to break and sort solid materials into smaller particle sizes for further processing such as pellet pressing or analysis. Milling equipment includes grinders, ball mills, cutting mills, jaw crushers, knife mills, beater and planetary mills. Sorting of smaller particulates can be achieved with test sieves and sieve shakers. Final powders can be pressed with hydraulic presses. Milling and pressing solid samples is an important preparation step in X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and diffraction (XRD).
