[0002] The safety, stability and service life of electronic products are largely related to their heat dissipation performance. The heat dissipation of electronic components mainly depends on thermal interface materials. Thermal interface materials are materials used to fill the gap between two contact surfaces to reduce thermal resistance and improve heat conduction efficiency, mainly composed of heat-conducting powder and organic matrix. The mass fraction of heat-conducting powder in thermal interface materials can reach 50-96.5%, which plays a decisive role in improving the thermal conductivity of the material.
[0003] The production process of heat-conducting powder is mainly divided into wet process and dry process.

The core equipment of the dry process is a high-speed mixer, and the production process includes material feeding, stirring and material collecting. At present, the feeding and collecting of materials are both dependent on manual operation, that is, the operator feeds the heat-conducting powder in the upstream equipment into the high-speed mixer through the hopper, or feeds the heat-conducting powder in the high-speed mixer into the downstream equipment through the hopper.
