Mixing of the heterogeneous granular materials in a double cone mixer

Mixing of heterogeneous granular materials is accompanied by the segregation phenomenon the result of which is that having obtained the highest value of mixing degree there occurs partial distribution of mixing components up to the equilibrium state. The knowledge of parameters affecting the segregation phenomenon is essential to restrict the disadvantageous phenomenon. The main factors affecting the segregation are dimension differences between tracer grains and continuous phase as well as their density differences.
