Powders and the dust they create have a tendency to create a myriad of material handling headaches. For example, dust can wreak havoc on the performance and accuracy of many level sensors, rendering them inaccurate and unreliable. Powder particles under the influence of gravity can become compacted resulting in inter-particle friction that may prevent flow movement. In this Chemical Processing Powder eHandbook, we offer a few tips for optimizing powder processing including:
•Getting the most from flexible screw conveyors - several key factors to achieve optimum performance and efficiency
•Curing powder measurement headaches - 3D technology can provide greater insight when measuring material in vessels
•How to prevent packed powders
•Benefits of pneumatic vacuum conveying
