The mixing of bulk solids is a fundamental unit operation in a wide range of manufacturing industries. This technical webinar presents results of an example of mixing and segregation in a paddle mixer, and provides a deep understanding of the mechanics of the system.

It showcases an innovative method for accessing and manipulating DEM data via the python scripting library EDEMpy which makes it possible to visualize the spatial and temporal evolution of the mixture.

Contents:

  • Understanding the mixing between 2 different powders
  • Understanding the effect of particle size on the mechanics of the system
  • Understanding the effect of cohesion on the mechanics of the system
  • Assessing geometry effectiveness
