Brookfield Engineering has introduced its Powder Flow Tester (PFT) for the analysis of powder flow behaviour in industrial processing equipment.
The Brookfield PFT is suitable for manufacturers who process powders daily.
Customers can perform QC checks on incoming materials, quickly characterise new formulations for flowability and adjust composition to match the flow behaviour of established products.
The Brookfield Powder Flow Tester features a variety of test options including: flow function, time consolidation, wall friction and bulk density.
Time estimates for duration of each test are automatically calculated before start of test in case adjustments are needed.
The operator also has a choice of graphical or tabular data-output format for each test plus calculations for arching dimension, rathole diameter and hopper half angle.
The PFT includes Powder Flow Pro Software and all accessories for handling powder samples within a small footprint that fits onto a benchtop.
