The mixing of cohesive and flowable powder materials using a common laboratory powder mixer

This study presented the homogeneity obtained when mixing cohesive and flowable powder materials using a laboratory powder mixer. The mixing process parameters studied were the mixing time and the mixer rotational speed (20 rpm, 40 rpm and 60 rpm) at the different ratios (95%: 5%, 50%: 50% and 5%: 9...
