Abstract
Obtaining a uniform blend of dry bulk solids, and maintaining that blend through downstream equipment, is a problem faced daily by engineers and operators in industries as varied as pharmaceuticals, foods, plastics, fiberglass, and battery production. Ineffective blending, or the inability to control particle segregation, is always costly in terms of rejected materials, extra blending time, and defective end products.
