Achema - Passing the test

Freeman Technology, the powder characterisation specialists, will be exhibiting the FT4 Powder Rheometer, a universal powder tester, at ACHEMA. The company will also be distributing the recently released booklet ‘The Value of Powder Testing’.

Visitors will have the opportunity to discuss their individual powder processing challenges with the Freeman Technology team and the company will also be hosting a presentation on 17 where experts will discuss why powder flow is important, review traditional measurement techniques and explain how powder behaviour relates to in-process performance. 

The FT4 Powder Rheometer uses a patented dynamic methodology, automated shear cells and bulk property tests, including density, compressibility and permeability, to quantify powder properties in terms of flow and processability. It delivers data that aims to maximise process and product understanding, accelerate R&D and formulation, and support process optimisation.
