Harnessing experience for powder
processing
Visitors to International Powder and Bulk Solids in Rosemont will learn how the FT4 Powder Rheometer is helping users 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 Those working with powders have always gained experience through successful problem solving, but until recently more fundamental knowledge was scarce

Freeman at International Powder and Bulk Solids
The Freeman Technology FT4 can be seen at the International Powder and Bulk Solids Conference/Exhibition on the Particle Technology Labs booth, number 1156, 8-11 May in Illinois
The FT4, now regarded as a universal powder tester, allows reliable and reproducible characterisation of powder behaviour.
This makes it increasingly easy to marry experience and information.
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.
Visit the Freeman Technology on booth #2745 at International Powder and Bulk Solids (6-8 May 2008; in Rosemont, Illinois) For more information about the Freeman Technology contribution to powder characterisation, please go to the website.
