Expansion of Vibration-Based Sphere-Pack Technology to Binary Mixture Including Irregular Particles

摘要

Vibration-based sphere-pack technology has been successfully expanded to a binary mixture including irregular particles. The packed fraction (PF) in a single component of an irregular particle exhibits a trend of increasing with shape improvement. An increase of PF of 8% is realized via grinding of the irregular particle toward an edgeless or round shape. The PF of a binary component mixture is roughly determined by the condition of large particles, being almost independent of that of small particles.
