Powdery-material mixing degree measurement device and compression molding system

Abstract

A powdery-material mixing degree measurement device includes a supplier configured to be fed with a mixed-powdery materials, a discharger configured to discharge to feed, with the mixed-powdery materials, a filling device configured to fill a die bore of the compression-molding machine with a powdery material, a rotator including a plurality of movable portions and configured to capture the mixed-powdery materials fed through the supplier and to transfer the mixed-powdery materials to the discharger a first sensor configured to measure a mixing degree of the mixed-powdery materials captured by the movable portions of the rotator, a second sensor configured to detect whether or not the mixed-powdery materials in the supplier have an upper surface level kept within a constant target range, and a controller configured to adjust rotational speed of the rotator such that the upper surface level of the mixed-powdery materials in the supplier is kept within the constant target range.
