Selection and Scale-up of Solids Batch Mixing Equipment

15-5 SELECTION AND SCALE-UP OF SOLIDS BATCH MIXING EQUIPMENT 

In the remainder of this section we discuss recent findings regarding the scale-up of tumbling blenders, which have more easily classified flow fields and mixing mechanisms than convective blenders. As mentioned previously, the description of mixing mechanisms in convective blenders has not been the subject of considerable experimental investigation work, relegating scale-up considerations to trial and error.
