Intelligent powder processing, through
experience
The FT4, now regarded as a universal powder tester, allows reliable and reproducible characterisation of powder behaviour, making it increasingly easy to marry experience and information
Visitors to the Freeman Technology booth at International Powder and Bulk Solids (6-8 May 2008, Rosemont IL) will learn how the FT4 powder rheometer is helping users harness their powder processing experience, enabling them to correlate processing behaviour with a range of measured powder characteristics Too often powders display their complex behaviour in uncontrolled ways, potentially compromising both process operation and final product quality

Investment in powder rheometer for drug development programmes will help gather flowability data on increasingly-complex large molecule drug candidates
Those working with powders have always gained experience through successful problem solving, but until recently more fundamental knowledge was scarce.
Such correlations, developed using shear, dynamic and bulk property measurements to rationalise experience, extend basic understanding and make for better powder formulation and improved process design.
Specialists from the Freeman Technology team will be available throughout the show to discuss individual powder processing challenges.
