Synopsis

This book is a welcome edition to the Particle Technology Series, formerly Powder Technology Series. It is the second book in the series which describes powder mixing and we make no excuses for that. The topic of powder mixing is fundamental to powder technology and is one which always aroses interest. That will not change. As powder products become more complex they will pose new mixing problems. The solutions lie in the intelligent use of equipment, an understanding of powder properties and a good knowledge of basic statistics. The authors of this book have presented those three ingredients with great clarity. The book is based on long experience and deep thought, I have enjoyed reading it and am pleased to recommend it. Delft University of Technology, NL-Delft, July 1999 Brian Scarlett, Series Editor IX VII Foreword to the English Edition In response to many enquiries from industrial organisations and institutes involved with the technology of processing bulk materials, we are pleased to present the English edition ,,Mixing of Solids". The text is based on the first edition written in the German language "Mischen von Schiittgiitern" [1]. The English version has been revised and updated to include the most recent re­ search developments, the conclusions of which have been taken into account.

About this title

Synopsis

The mixing of solids, powders, granules, fibres and flakes represents one of the essential basic processes for the production of foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, plastics, dyestuffs, detergents and intermediate materials. This book covers the theoretical and practical aspects of the mixing of solids and presents an overview as well as detailed know-how and experience. The book demonstrates the state of the art of mixing and segregation technology, quality control, design of mixers, design scale-up and engineering of complete processes. Various designs of batch and continuous mixers are analysed. Checklists for the layout of mixing and processing plants, the criteria for the selecting of batch or continuous process and examples of installed mixing systems are given as helpful tools for mechanical, chemical and process engineers and chemists involved in the planning, engineering and operating of such systems.
