Quantifying Powder Caking Using the FT4 Powder Rheometer
Quantifying Powder Caking Using the FT4 Powder Rheometer Many materials in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, from raw materials, additives, and intermediates through to manufactured products, are supplied as relatively free-flowing powders suitable for the manufacturing process or final application. These materials are often stored for extended periods, during which time some powders will gain strength due to particle/particle interactions. This is generally referred to as ‘caking’ and can significantly limit the ability of a powder to pass through the process train with...
