WHITE PAPER: Factors To Consider For Successful Mixing Trials |
By Christine Banaszek, Application Engineer
Laboratory testing is an integral part of equipment procurement. In the case of mixing and blender equipment, two or more fundamentally different devices may present to be viable solutions to a particular process, and the only way of determining the best technology is by performing lab tests. This hands-on approach works best when the main variables — raw materials, temperature, pressure, batch size, etc. — are simulated as close as possible to the actual process. |
