Avoid segregation downstream in a tumble blender (double cone mixer)

Q: My material goes through a wet granulation step in a tumble blender (double cone blender) to avoid segregation downstream. But the granulated material contains agglomerates, formed by liquid droplets in the blender, and I have to treat the agglomerates before I can use the material downstream. How can I avoid the agglomerates? A: Wet

What’s the quickest way to determine if my ribbon blender mixer is causing particle degradation?

Particle degradation can be deterioration in quality from a reaction (such as spoilage of a food product) or size change (such as breaking friable particles). Deterioration in quality is usually obvious from simply looking at the mixture. Size change is less obvious, so you’ll need to compare a mixture sample with samples of the ingredients

Avoid segregation phenomenon when sampling in ribbon blender mixer

Q:When I analyze material samples taken from our ribbon blender mixer's vessel, the mixing quality is okay, but I find mixing quality and weight variations in the final packages. How can I avoid this? A: A mixture like yours, which segregates after it leaves the ribon blender mixer, can cause major problems. For instance, with
