Freeman Technology exhibits universal powder tester at Interphex India 2007

At Interphex India, Freeman Technology will demonstrate the company’s unique FT4 Powder Rheometer. Widely used within the pharmaceutical industry, this automated, precision-engineered system is designed for the rapid and consistent characterisation of powders.

Centred on a revolutionary, patented design it offers dynamic, shear and bulk property measurement in a single system and is a universal powder tester. This integrated testing approach allows the characterisation and understanding of powders in industrially relevant ways. This makes the FT4 an ideal tool for process development, troubleshooting and QC applications.

Closely defined measurement protocols, including a unique pre-measurement conditioning step give the FT4 unsurpassed reproducibility and accuracy, maximising its ability to differentiate between samples. It can therefore be used to accurately quantify the impact on powder behaviour of a range of factors including aeration, segregation, consolidation and composition.
