What is Material Characterization in Powder Processing?

What is material characterization exactly? Essentially, it is testing a substance to see how it acts during production and final use. In our industry, material characterization means figuring out how a raw material moves through milling, blending, conveying, industrial screening, packaging, and storage. Every material acts differently. Some fracture easily during milling. Others generate high […]More Info >

Hammer Milling: How it Works and When to Use it

Industrial hammer mills serve several industries to reduce material size for further processing. Mineral and chemical plants use them to break down ores and pigments, while agricultural operations grind grains and hemp for storage. Food processors use them for spices and livestock feed, and recycling facilities use them to shred glass or scrap metal. But […]More Info >

Dust Control in Milling Facilities: Air Pollution & Safety Guide

Dust control is often treated as a maintenance or housekeeping issue in milling facilities. However in reality, unmanaged dust can quickly become an air pollution problem that affects employee health, equipment, production and compliance. Why Dust Control (or lack thereof) Becomes a Facility Risk During milling, fine particles are released at multiple points in the […]More Info >

Types of Industrial Screening Equipment: Vibratory, Rotary & Gyratory

Industrial screening equipment is a critical part of most bulk material handling systems, even though it often gets less attention than grinders, dryers or conveyors. Screens remove oversize material, fines and foreign objects, as well as classify material into multiple size fractions. Nearly every industry that handles granular or particulate solids relies on industrial screening […]More Info >
