Expansion into Germany announced by Freeman Technology

Freeman Technology, specialists in powder characterisation, has established an office in Germany to expand its global operations.

“We have been working with businesses in Germany since the company was founded. It has long been a region with a significant number of powder processing companies across a range of industries,” said Tim Freeman, managing director. “The region’s economic status is supported by competence in engineering and manufacturing. Following our recent expansions into other countries and the diversification of our product line, Germany was the obvious next step for Freeman Technology.”

The company’s solutions include: the FT4 Powder Rheometer, a unique and comprehensive powder tester, which uses patented dynamic methodology, automated shear cells (in accordance with ASTM D7891) and a series of bulk property tests to quantify powder behaviour in terms of flow and processability; and the Uniaxial Powder Tester, which provides an accurate and repeatable measure of the uniaxial unconfined yield strength (uUYS) of a powder to assess and rank flowability.

Additionally, Freeman Technology offers in-line, real-time flow measurement capabilities through its partnership with Lenterra — manufacturers of optical flow sensor technology.
