Powder Flow Characterization for Optimizing Processes in Industry and Research

April 11, 2023

Overview

Powders are used extensively across a wide range of industries- they possess many valuable properties and benefits. However, they are also challenging materials with bulk flow properties that are difficult to predict, even within simple process operations. They change their behavior and performance depending on their environment- shear rate, stress conditions, storage duration, humidity, etc. Poor understanding of a powder’s behavior in response to these behaviors can lead to production stoppages, inefficiency and poor quality or out of spec products. 

In this webinar applications scientist Guy Stimpson will discuss these challenges, and show how truly understanding the properties of your powder can enhance your process. Using the FT4 Powder Rheometer, Guy will show how these measurements are taken, and how they can be implemented into your workflow.
