Dry blending is a key process in a number of industries. It is very important to understand the bulk solid properties that are present in an operation and how this affects process effectiveness. A lack of understanding can lead to excessive downtime and unnecessary expense to a company.

A number of key areas will be covered including bulk solids properties, mixing technologies, and bulk solids handling. Further, many of the challenges around mixing products will be addressed such as cohesiveness, blending accuracy, segregation, and particle breakdown.

This 90-minute accredited training will follow a lecture/discussion/video presentation format. Demonstrations of the various types of mixing equipment, cleaning, troubleshooting and maintenance procedures will be shown.
