  Powder Dispersion: Key to Enhanced Product Performance Powder dispersion, a process in which solid particles are uniformly distributed within a liquid medium, is much more complicated than it sounds. Each particle needs to be homogenously distributed and effectively interact with the liquid medium. Factors such as particle behaviour, liquid properties, and application-specific requirements must be considered. Many powders, for example, do not easily get incorporated into liquids, creating mixing challenges for manufacturers. All challenges aside, several industries, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food and chemicals, need powder dispersion to manufacture their products. How does powder dispersion work? In the initial stage, powders are mixed with the liquids, and ideally, the former should absorb the latter without much fuss. Factors such as surface tension and particle size play critical roles in effective wetting. If you have ever made cake or baked bread, you know...

Everything You Need to Know About S20 Flair & Quadro Comil High Efficiency Milling (HEM) is a modern machining strategy designed to maximise material removal rates (MRR) while minimising tool wear and heat generation. HEM involves using a lower Radial Depth of Cut (RDOC) and a higher Axial Depth of Cut (ADOC). This approach spreads wear evenly across the cutting edge, dissipates heat more effectively, and reduces the likelihood of tool failure. The technique offers several benefits such as: Increased tool life due to even wear distribution Higher material removal rates due to aggressive cutting Reduced heat generation due to lower RDOC and higher ADOC Cost efficiency due to longer tool life Faster machining times HEM is particularly useful in industries where efficiency and precision are critical, such as aerospace, automotive, and mold making. It is suitable for a wide range of materials, including aluminium, steel, and titanium. High Efficiency Milling vs. Traditional Milling...
