The physical and chemical properties of materials determine how powders and granules must be stored, handled and processed. Differences in particle size distribution, particle shape, density, moisture content, abrasiveness and cohesive behaviour may require specific plant solutions, even for materials belonging to the same family.
This category explores the properties of solid materials and their applications across different industrial sectors, from food and chemicals and pharmaceuticals to plastics and rubber, recycling, ceramics and metallurgy. In-depth insights into the relationship between raw material properties, behaviour during processing and the selection of process technologies.
