Powder Processing Knowledge Hub
Process powders and bulk solids by applying unit operations such as mixing, drying and agglomeration, often integrated with upstream or downstream processing steps such as size reduction or classification. Selecting the appropriate technology depends on material behaviour, process conditions and the specific objectives of the application.
The Hosokawa Micron Knowledge Hub provides technical insights into powder processing technologies and their application, supporting engineers in evaluating equipment selection and process configuration. Explore application-driven knowledge on process control and scale-up for reliable and efficient powder processing.
Powder Mixing & Blending
Mix powders by controlling shear, residence time and particle movement to achieve a consistent composition. The selection of mixing technology depends on bulk density, flow behaviour, particle size distribution and sensitivity to segregation. Hosokawa Micron provides low- to high-shear mixing systems, including the gentle Nauta® mixer and high-shear Cyclomix technology, for reliable and reproducible blending at industrial scale.
