FREEMAN TECHNOLOGY LOOKS FORWARD TO EXHIBITING AT POWTECH AND CONTRIBUTING TO WCPT6 PROGRAMME
Freeman Technology: Powtech Stand No: Hall 6/6-444
At the World Congress on Particle Technology (WCPT6) which this year takes place from 26-29 April alongside POWTECH and TechnoPharm at the NürnbergMesse in Germany, members of the Freeman Technology team will present a series of papers and posters covering various aspects of powder characterisation. The company will also exhibit as part of the Powtech show where the FT4 Powder Rheometer will be on display.
The FT4 is a universal powder tester that uses patented dynamic methodology, fully automated shear cells and several bulk property tests, including density, compressibility and permeability to quantify powder properties in terms of flow and processability. Correlating this data with processing performance enables users to optimise powder processes.
Podium presentations from the Freeman team at WCPT6 will discuss: ‘The application of advanced powder characterisation techniques to pharmaceutical Quality by Design protocols’ and ‘Evaluation of dry powder blending using Positron Emission Tomography and the relationship between powder bulk properties and process parameters’.
In addition, Dr David Morton of Monash University, Australia, will speak about work that involves the use of the FT4 Powder Rheometer to investigate ‘The influence of dry powder coating methods, including mechanofusion, on the flow properties of inhalable grades of lactose monohydrate’.
In the poster sessions, Freeman Technology’s contributions will include ‘The quantification of particle shape and size using image analysis and its effect on the flow properties of various forms of lactose’ and ‘The characterisation of the physical properties of wet masses’.
Freeman Technology specialises in providing systems for measuring powder flow properties and has over a decade of experience in powder flow and characterisation. With a significant commitment to R&D and applications development, the company delivers extensive know-how alongside its universal powder tester. An expert team guides and supports users in addressing individual powder challenges, the process relevance of powder characterisation being a key focus.

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.
