Classifying the flow properties of powders
The patented FT4 Powder Rheometer aids formulation of new materials, helps optimise handling and processing and can provide quality control standards that lead to real productivity and quality gains
The automated aeration accessory, for use in measuring the flow properties of aerated powders, will eliminate the need for operator intervention, thus removing the major source of measurement variation and error.
It is the first in a series of new 'plug and play' accessories designed to bring full automation to all FT4 powder testing processes.
This important new advance has been made possible by the recent development at Freeman of a highly sophisticated universal control card.
This provides a seamless interface between the instrument, the accessory and the user.
Existing and new users of the patented FT4 Powder Rheometer will be able to add a range of accessories that streamline powder assessment, bringing ever closer the Freeman goal of providing the pharmaceutical market with a universal powder testing solution.
The FT4 is widely used within the pharmaceutical industry, and has applications that range from the quality control of incoming raw materials through formulation, including the determination of granulation end-point and scale-up.
Throughout the AAPS conference, the Freeman Technology team will be available on Booth 495 to advise on automating powder testing using the FT4 Powder Rheometer.
