Technical illustration showing how compressibility, cohesion, wall friction and permeability affect powder filling and movement inside a screw feeder.

Technical infographic showing a screw feeder with four powder properties that influence dosing accuracy. Compressibility affects density and consolidation within the screw channel, cohesion can interrupt continuous inlet filling, wall friction changes how efficiently powder moves along the barrel, and permeability controls how quickly trapped air escapes and a stable fill state develops.
