Friable solids can readily experience particle attrition (i.e., breakage, size reduction, or fragmentation) during routine handling in many bulk material operations. Particle attrition can be caused by variety of mechanisms like compression, impact, and shear. The effects of material degradation can be costly, such as increased dusting, caking, poor product performance, or safety issues.
Particle attrition tests can be performed where we set up a physical model to investigating the effects of major variables. We measure the particle size distribution pre- and post-testing or provide samples to your laboratory for any proprietary analysis you perform. Key material degradation studies follow.
