Brookfield's Powder Flow Tester now offers a solution for small powder samples that is suitable for pharmaceutical formulators who test expensive powders in limited quantities.
The Small Volume Shear Cell requires only 43cc of powder.
Other applications include materials that are difficult or messy to handle, such as powdered inks.
The Small Volume Shear Cell has the ability to generate higher consolidation stresses, which simulates conditions in larger bins and silos.
The Brookfield PFT Powder Flow Tester provides quick and easy analysis of powder-flow behaviour in industrial processing equipment.
The PFT allows technicians to quality check incoming materials and evaluate how powders will discharge from storage containers.
The operator can also rapidly characterise new formulations for flowability and adjust composition to match the flow behaviour of established products.
