Technology team and learn how the latest advances in powder testing can help solve processing and handling problems. Freeman Technology’s US team will be showcasing the capabilities of the FT4 Powder Rheometer® at the PTXi/Powder & Bulk Solids show in Rosemont IL, from 6-8 May 2014..
The FT4 Powder Rheometer combines dynamic, bulk and shear testing capabilities in a single
instrument. It is used to deliver the understanding required for efficient product development and effective process design, operation, troubleshooting and optimisation. Dynamic testing in particular continues to prove especially useful for industrial studies. Inherently sensitive and having high repeatability and reproducibility, dynamic testing can be carried out on consolidated, aerated or even fluidised powder samples to directly assess how a powder responds to air. This is a critical feature for many processes.
Visitors to the Freeman Technology booth at PTXi can learn from their experts how these
capabilities are being used to address specific processing issues in order to optimise productivity and quality across a range of industries.
