Diffusion and doping for nanostructured materials
Some materials are less suitable for chemical synthesis due to their inert properties. This applies, for example, to many ceramic materials. In these cases, new syntheses can sometimes be made possible by diffusion. This is more likely the more nanodisperse the powders are.
Powder processing for additive manufacturing with industrial mixers by amixon®
Powder mixers play a very important role in adaptive manufacturing. Their significance is comparable to that of powder metallurgy. A suitable mixing process enables, for example, the production of completely new materials by ‘mechanical alloying’.
Three groundbreaking advancements in baby formula ingredients
Progress in pediatric and nutritional science is helping manufacturers develop new baby formula ingredients with the goal of making powdered formula that can better meet the needs of growing infants. Here are three recent advancements in the science of powdered baby formula composition that are helping to ensure babies…
Production of Pesticides (Part 1)
For reasons of longer shelf life and lower transport volume, plant protection products are often offered in powder form. amixon® has developed vacuum mix dryers that dry particularly quickly and gently. The powdered active ingredient concentrate is usually free-flowing, crystalline and low in dust.
Precision mixers for food processing with aroma compounds
Many flavours, taste additives and spice extracts are available in powder form. amixon® mixers are excellent at refining and processing these powders. Low germ count, good flavour development, good flowability, good appearance and dust-free are examples of good product characteristics.
Powder agglomeration in the amixon® Ring-layer mixing granulator
We can also understand agglomeration built-up granulation without tools: We do dusty work and then vigorously rub our palms against each other. The small crumbs produced this way are the result of built-up agglomeration. The finest particles are compacted and roll up; in the presence of moisture correspondingly faster than…
