This is how New Zealand kaolin powder agglomerates

Monday 7th August 2017

These lumps do not break down easily in a dry mixer, even when with other materials (like insight-live.com/material/1245">silica and feldspar). And they just bounce around on a vibrating screen. That means that without some sort of finishing device in the dry material feed stream is needed to break down these lumps before the pugmill.
