Unplanned downtime costs U.S. manufacturers an estimated $50 billion every year, and many stoppages are tied to material flow disruptions or variability in raw inputs. In powder and bulk solids operations, even a 1-2% shift in moisture or a slight change in particle size can trigger those disruptions, slowing feed rates, destabilizing automated controls and forcing operators into reactive work.
Business Development Manager Eric Reynolds was recently featured in Processing Magazine, where he shares why raw material consistency is critical to maintaining uptime and operational efficiency.
