Why reclaimed powder is harder to handle than the virgin one?

Why reclaimed powder is harder to handle than the virgin one?

The reasons are:

  • Bigger particles can gain better electrostatic charge so that they have better adhesion and adhere to the substrate while the smaller particle will be sucked up into the recovery system.
  • Reclaim normally has very fine particle size that could lead to poor fluidization. So that it would be harder to spray than virgin powder.
  • Poor control of reclaimed powder.
