First, the purpose of pre-treatment
By changing the physical properties of some hard-to-mix powders, the physical properties of thevarious powders are brought close to one another to improve mixing quality and mixing efficiency。
Second,the content of pre-treatment
When a batch of powder is more difficult to mix when the drying, crushing and other physical means can be used for large particles in the powder or powder pre-treatment of specific gravity. Adjust the physical indicators of these powders and other powders close to each other, so the purpose is more conducive to the smooth mixing work later.
Third,the key physical indicators that impact powder mixing
Particle diameter, loose proportion, fluidity is three elements. If the parameters involved in the mixing of the powder between the parameters of the difference is not easy to mix evenly, so to go through the following adjustments:
1,the particle size difference of powders to be mixer are too big.
When the difference between the coarsest and the finest species in different powders is too large, it is difficult to mix them uniformly. In this case, the coarsest powder is preliminarily crushed and ground, which requires a ball mill to make the particle size approach to the whole powder The average of the diameters then participate in the mix.
For example, in the above picture, the mixture of flour and crystal salt will appear the phenomenon of differential mixing. Because the salt particle has large diameter and large specific gravity, it belongs to differential mixing, so it is difficult to mix them evenly. So need to pretreatment, change the mixing conditions. The specific method is to grind the particle salt 180 mesh, the proportion will be reduced accordingly as shown below:
The pictures above are refined salt and wheat flour after the pretreatment,the physical indicators are relatively close, in the actual mixing process easier to achieve the purpose of mixing evenly.
2, Big difference of specific gravity makes the powders difficult to be mixed evenly.
3, pretreatment can also solve wet, poor liquidity and other issues
4, pretreatment is not a panacea
