ABSTRACT
In industry many areas require proper powder handling. Powders are
having different flow properties due to different natures of powder like
cohesiveness, fiber, low melting nature, stickiness, elasticity. These
properties create various problems in conveying and handling of
powders. Sometimes it causes static charge generation due to dust
formation which is hazardous. To solve these problems different types
of equipmentlike conveying systems, HVAC Systems, Dust Collectors
can be used and a layout having āUā directional flow of powder can be
used which is known as Hub layout.
Keywords: cohesiveness, fiber, low melting nature, stickiness,
