Scaling powder production requires more than a simple process because it involves a fundamental change to physical laws. The common practice among manufacturers to grow their production capacity by increasing their batch size results in three major challenges; first, they experience higher energy expenses, second, their product quality becomes unstable, and third, their operations become less efficient. The efficiency of standard mixers breaks down at their maximum capacity because they cannot produce uniform outputs. The horizontal ribbon blender operates as the engineering standard for large powder mixing because it uses bulk processing difficulties to its operational advantage. The system uses a counter-current axial flow mechanism which maintains continuous particle movement and achieves high blend uniformity results through its ability to remove all dead zones.
