Freeman Technology demonstrates importance of relevant powder characterisation at Interphex 2013
At Interphex 2013 (Apr 23-25 2013, New York), Freeman Technology will exhibit the FT4 Powder Rheometer® universal powder tester, and the company’s expert team will be on hand to discuss specific pharmaceutical industry applications and advise on individual powder challenges.
In the past decade developments in powder testing instrumentation have introduced new methods and improved the reproducibility and relevance of more established types of analysis. Dynamic testing for example, which measures the flow energy of a powder, is a newer technique enjoying considerable industrial uptake. Shear testing, a well established method, rightly remains popular, but its implementation in systems like the FT4 is improving both precision and reproducibility.
The FT4 Powder Rheometer combines the best techniques available: shear, dynamic and bulk property testing. These are automated and reproducibly deliver reliable data that correlate with process performance. Being able to measure a meaningful and relevant set of powder properties provides measurable parameters that can be used to numerically describe, rationalize and better understand core powder processing operations, as well as helping to extend knowledge of the different factors that influence powder behaviour.
Please join us to discuss your powder challenges on Booth#2061 at Interphex.

About us
Freeman Technology specialises in systems for measuring the flow properties of powders and has nearly 20 years' experience in powder flow and powder characterisation.
The company invests significantly in R&D and applications development, and provides detailed know-how to support its range of products. Expert teams guide and support users around the world in addressing their individual powder challenges, focusing on delivering the most relevant information for the process. The result is world-leading solutions for understanding powder behaviour - in development, formulation, scale-up, processing, quality control, or anywhere that powders have a role.
Freeman Technology’s solutions include the FT4 Powder Rheometer®, a uniquely universal powder tester, and the Uniaxial Powder Tester, a complementary tool for quick and robust powder assessment. Systems are installed around the world in the chemical, pharmaceutical, toners, foods, powder coatings, metals, ceramics, cosmetics, and many other industries. They deliver data that maximise process and product understanding, accelerating R&D and formulation towards successful commercialisation, and supporting the long term optimisation of powder processes.
Founded in 1989 as a developer of automated testing systems for materials characterisation, the company has focused exclusively on powders since the late 1990s and in 2018 became part of Micromeritics Instrument Corporation. The company’s R&D, manufacturing and commercial headquarters are in Gloucestershire, UK, with operations and distribution partners in key global territories. In 2007 the company received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation and in 2012 the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade.
