ENGINEERING / MATERIAL HANDLING
Powder Caking
Storage can create contacts between particles that become stronger over time. First establish moisture history, temperature and loading. Breaking treats the resulting lumps; storage control addresses the cause.

What to assess first
Record where the restriction occurs, the form of the material, packaging condition and the desired state at the next process step. Include a material sample or photograph and the storage history.
Equipment and supporting processes
Twin-Shaft Lump Breaking Equipment — an assessment route, subject to material testing and configuration review.
Acceptance criteria
Agree the acceptable discharge condition, product quality and safety requirements before equipment trials. A visible reduction in lumps alone is not a complete process acceptance test.
