Webinar: How Powder Flow Testing Can Optimise Granulation Processes
Powder flow specialists, Freeman Technology, will be continuing their webinar series with ‘How Powder Flow Testing Can Optimise Granulation Processes’ on March 17 at 15:00 (GMT).
Granulation is a common unit operation in industries such food and pharmaceutical, yet accurate endpoint detection remains a challenge.
In this webinar, we will examine the contribution that at-line and in-line powder characterisation can make, highlighting the ability to accurately and reliably detect the transition from wet mass to granulate and robustly define endpoint.
Quantifying this transition point, with a measure that is independent of scale, accelerates development, aids scale-up and ultimately optimises production and quality.
Topics will include:
- The mechanisms and challenges of granulation
- Analytical technology for monitoring granulation processes
- Optimising granulation processes
- Investigating the impact of roller compaction processing variables
- Comparing the properties of pre-blends with granules produced by fluidised bed granulation
- Correlating the properties of granules produced by high shear wet granulation with CQAs of the resulting tablets

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.
