The unit allows to study the behavior of granular materials using 3 units: a V mixer with a ball-mill, a solid handling unit and a vibrating sieve.
TRAINING PROGRAM
This unit enables to deepen the following issues:
• Reducing the granulometry of a solid with a ball-mill
• Mixing granular material with a V mixer
• Establishing angle of repose, stratification and moisture effect
• Flowing of granular material through orifices and moisture effect
• Pneumatic transport and cyclone separation
• Granulometric analysis with a vibrating sieve
