Batching
Batching equipment is used to transfer specific quantities of material to a transport vessel or packaging unit.
Hoppers
Hoppers are used primarily in materials handling as storage vessels, transporters, and feeders.
Mixers
All mixing and blending can be categorized as either a batch or continuous process.
Presses
Presses are used to apply pressure to an object in many engineering applications. They are commonly used for making glass, metal forming, dewatering sludges, and powder compacting.
Scales
Scales are used to weigh materials and equipment. The type of scale selected is based on the measuring needs.
Size Enlargement
The primary step in size enlargement is agglomeration, the formation of a ball or sphere by clumping particles together.
Size Reduction
Raw materials undergo size reduction through different mechanisms: impact, compression, and attrition. One way to classify size reduction equipment is into crushers and grinders, where grinders produce finer particles than crushers.
Tablet Coating
Tablet coating is the process of evenly covering particles with a substance by applying a series of thin layers. These coaters differ in their function and application.
