The Virtual Powder Blending Laboratory is a breakthrough in powder formulation, allowing formulators in any industry sector to select from powders in a database, experiment with blending them in a virtual laboratory, and predict the properties of the finished blend.
It can also predict the effect of adding liquid to the surfaces of the powders (both oil and water) and the effect of “free-flow” additives such as silicon dioxide and others.
As the development has been funded by the UK Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and a number of food industry collaborators, the work so far has focused on food applications (for example snack flavourings) but work has also been undertaken with mineral and pharmaceutical powders. It is expected to progress and evolve over time, for use in other groups of powders and industries.

About us
Our Mission: To help industry to get it's powders and bulk materials to behave in the way they need them to!
Our Services:
- Consultancy
- Research
- Short Courses
Our Clients:
Industries involved in the processing of powders, particulates and other bulk solids materials from across the spectrum including (but not limited to) food and drink, pharmaceuticals, minerals, renewable energy, chemicals, plastics, recycling, metals, household goods, paper, cosmetics, textiles and rubber.
Ranging from small local companies to international conglomerates.
Our industrial-scale pilot plant is available to test a processing step, or mock up a whole handling process or logistics chain, at full scale or near full scale. This can be used to find and solve the problems off-line, then when you transfer the same process or material to your own or your customers' plant, you can be confident it will work!
Our Experts have over one hundred man-years of experience in solving bulk materials handling problems. Along with a team of Researchers they concentrate on nothing else but the needs of Industry – and are at your disposal.
