Powder properties in food production systems

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Design and operation of particle and powder handling and processing equipment requires knowledge of particle properties and bulk properties of powders. This chapter focuses on these properties, in particular particle size and its distribution, shape, particle strength, particle and bulk density, powder flowability and caking. It describes these properties, highlights their importance and provides information on their measurement.
