Homogenization of bulk solids in blending silos . Blending silos are used for blending and homogenization of large quantities of bulk solids. Depending on how the energy is introduced, we distinguish between pneumatic, mechanical, and gravity flow blenders. The different blending principles are described and the suitability of the blending systems for certain types of bulk solids is explained. Fluidized bed blenders are suitable for homogenization of free flowing fine powders. Gravity flow blenders are used for blending of granular bulk solids. Homogenization of cohesive powders is accomplished in mechanical blending silos. It is necessary for selection of a suitable homogenization system to know the fluidization behaviour and the flow properties of the respective bulk solids. These properties can be determined in laboratory tests.
