18.01.2016 Innovative powder tester

Freeman Technology, Tewkesbury, UK, has launched the Uniaxial Powder Tester (UPT), which is believed to be the world’s first stand-alone uniaxial tester for simple, sensitive and cost-efficient powder characterisation. Developed in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh and a major industrial powder processor, the new tester delivers automated, highly repeatable measurements and provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional powder testing techniques. It offers significant value to engineers and quality control analysts working across a number of industries, from bulk solids handling to pharmaceuticals.

 

“Uniaxial powder testing is a simple and intuitive method that measures an intrinsic property of a bulk solid,” said managing director Tim Freeman. “The UPT draws on our in-depth understanding of powders and the precision engineering that underpins the worldwide success of the FT4 Powder Rheometer. The result is a completely new, repeatable, versatile, low-cost and robust powder tester for process development, trouble shooting and QC.” www.freemantech.co.uk/upt
