Key Factors Affecting Packaging Accuracy

1. Material Characteristics

Powder properties significantly impact dosing precision:

  • Particle size distribution: Uniformity affects flowability
  • Bulk density: Influences volumetric measurement accuracy
  • Moisture content: Affects cohesion and bridging tendencies
  • Flowability: Determines material discharge consistency

2. Grinding System Performance

Consistent particle size from grinding equipment is fundamental for packaging accuracy. ZENITH’s XZM Ultrafine Mill delivers exceptional performance with:

  • Precision particle size control (325-2500 mesh/D97≤5μm)
  • Vertical turbine classifier for uniform particle distribution
  • Energy efficiency (30% lower consumption than conventional mills)
  • Automated feedback system for real-time fineness adjustment
