Freeman Technology FT4 Powder Rheometer

The FT4 Powder Rheometer is a universal powder tester - three instruments in one, combining the Freeman patented blade methodology for measuring flow energy with a range of shear cells, wall friction modules and other accessories for measuring bulk properties.               

The optimal approach for powder assessment is firstly to use testing methodologies that provide reproducible data and secondly to evaluate flow performance in ways that relate to powder behaviour in real industrial processes. This means quantifying the effects of consolidation, vibration, segregation, moisture uptake, fines, aeration, flow rate, air entrainment and a number of other factors. Such characterisation using complementary methodologies has wide application in the formulation, processing and QC sectors of most powder processing industries.
