In this work, optical imaging is used to quantify the mixing dynamics of granular materials. Two different methods (GLCM and Multivariate RGB analysis) are combined to extract surface information and the time to achieve a specific degree of mixing. In particular, the effect of density, friction coefficient, surface quality and particle geometry was studied. The results show that the Froude number alone is not enough to completely characterize the rolling regime. In addition, the filling ratio must be in a specific range which depends on the material properties.
This paper reports on mixing a binary particle bed of small and large polymer powders in a rotating drum. The effects of Froude number, particle diameter, filling ratio and initial particle concentration on segregation and mixing degree are presented and a dynamic model is proposed to determine the optimum mixing time.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slideResearch highlights
