Webinar Series: Batch vs. Continuous Blending of Segregating Blends and the “Oka Ratio”
Binary powder mixtures with variable segregation tendencies were “mixed” in a tumbling batch blender and in a continuous convective tubular blender. The degree of homogeneity of the final blend obtained from the continuous blender was found to be much higher than that from the batch V-blender. A direct relationship was observed between the segregation index of freely-flowing mixtures and a new material property metric, the “Oka Ratio”, defined as the ratio of the median parti
