Powder Mixing Technology

 
  June 21, 2007  
     
 
The Center for Professional Advancement (CfPA), New Brunswick, NJ
July 16-19, 2007


Who Should Attend: This course is designed for professionals who are concerned with blended powder R&D and production technology in managerial, operational and supervisory positions involved in such industrial applications as powder metallurgy, food, pigments, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, propellants, ceramics, plastics and fertilizers. This includes:

Scientists
Mechanical Engineers
Industrial Engineers
Physicists
Statisticians
Quality Assurance Specialists
Chemical Engineers
Chemists
Pharmacists


Description: The course presents the principles and techniques of mixing free-flowing or cohesive powders. Selection of suitable industrial equipment for particular mixing duties will be discussed analyzing mixer performance in terms of process advantages, mixture quality and the flexibility of the mixer for multi-product manufacture.

Other topics to be covered include powder sampling techniques, a practical discussion of the statistics of mixing, the significance of statistics in powder formulation, the aggregation of mixtures, and the use of lubricants and flow aids for powders.

There will be special emphasis on the mixing of cohesive powders and the opportunities this can present to produce superior quality mixtures. The handling, packaging and marketing of powder products will also be discussed. Throughout the course, the faculty will relate principles to specific industrial problems.

The practical industrial application of powder mixing, powder aggregation and handling principles can be extended with an optional day visit to Hosokawa Micron and Gemco. (NOTE: Optional Day No Longer Available)


Course Type: A Three-Day Instensive Course
