A loss of blend homogeneity through handling operations can have a major influence on the mechanical properties of sintered products. Plant optimisation to minimise the potential for segregation of blends can be undertaken through an audit of handling operations combined with an evaluation of the materials that are handled through the process. The correct identification of the mechanism of segregation is essential to support strategies to implement the most efficient and cost-effective counter measures. In support of this type of industrial activity, a piece of test apparatus has recently been developed to provide measurements of segregation potential for powders (metal and mineral) that are prone to loss of homogeneity (by composition or particle size) when subjected to counter-directional air displacements through equipment. This paper will discuss the test equipment and give examples of its output with respect to industrial application.
