There are many variables that influence powder behaviour. Controlling powder properties, particularly flowability, is essential for efficient handling, and is made much easier by some understanding of which variables to change, and how, to achieve desirable behaviour. In this article we will focus on particle size, one of the most widely recognised influencers of powder flow properties.
The effects of decreasing particle size
The effect of particle size on bulk powder properties stems principally from its impact on the relationship between the strength of inter-particle bonds and the motive forces of gravity that act on the particles.
