Working with Powders

Powders are blends of solids, liquids and gases, usually air, and their flow properties may be affected by perhaps 30 or more factors. These include particle characteristics such as size, shape and surface properties, environmental factors such as air content, temperature and vibration, and chemical interactions leading to adhesion and caking

FT4 Powder Rheometer^®

Comprehensive powder flow characterisation 

The FT4, the flagship product from Freeman Technology, is a universal powder flow tester. The range of measurement capabilities the FT4 provides makes it the world's most versatile powder testing instrument for measuring and understanding powder flow and powder behaviour. If you work with powders, either in a research or production capacity, the FT4 can provide valuable information about powder flow properties and other behavioural characteristics of your materials that other technologies simply don’t deliver

Powder Rheology

Understanding powder flow and powder behaviour

There is no single measurable parameter that defines how a powder will flow, mix, feed, granulate, fill, convey, compress or behave in any other process operation. Our powder testing instrumentation is designed to help users in the field solve their powder handling challenges
