Flow Conditioners: Market outlook
The unwanted alteration of bulk powders, such as deliquescence and caking is a common problem in industries including food, pharmaceutical, detergent, and chemical. The lump formation or caking in the powder may be seen as a detrimental accumulation of particles, which converts a freely flowing powder into a coherent solid. The amount of lump can vary from large lumps to the unalterable fusion of particles that no longer represents the original material. Thus, deliquescence and caking can be a significant problem that may lead to a loss of functionality of material and may result in the lower quality product, largely impacting the profitability. Thus to prevent caking or any such losses, finely divided solids known as flow conditioners are added to the host powder to prevent the lump formation and to improve the flowability of the powder. The flow conditioner is additive which either absorbs moisture or prevents lump formation by coating the host particles and making them repellent. The common flow conditioners include silicates, silicon dioxide, phosphates, stearic acid salts, starches, talcum, and modified carbohydrates.
Growing Demand for Flow Conditioners Owing to its Multifunctional Properties
The market for flow conditioners is anticipated to witness a growing demand owing to its multiple functions and properties including competition for adsorbed water, interruption of liquid bridging, lubrication, crystallinity modification, and anti-static ability. The flow conditioners are used in various industries to prevent the powder from caking and deliquescence and to promote secure packaging, handling, and transportation of the product. The drivers for the growth of the flow conditioner market is growing food and beverage industry, and processed food industry which use flow conditioners to prevent lumps in the food products and provide easy flowability to the products. The increasing use of flow conditioners in non-food industries like cosmetic and personal care industry, detergent and chemical industry, and animal feed industry is further boosting the demand for flow conditioners.
