Why measure powder?

Identify consequences of coating changes
Monitor batches for consistency and texture
Test flow properties of new product recipes
Optimize a product’s formula during production
Know how a powder will react during storage & transportation
Optimize use of flow aids

Measurable Attributes

Relaxation

Stiffness

Features

The best blade on the market

Our patented blade is a true helix that can be mathematically described, producing repeatable and highly discriminating results.

Customize the blade path angle and tip speed.

Extremely gentle through to aggressive displacements. Granules won’t break.

Test protocols provide controlled flow conditions that can be accurately repeated in the future.

How It Works

Controlled powder displacement

Displace powder

The precision blade moves through a column of powder. The sample is displaced by any combination of slicing, shearing, compressing, compacting, mixing, and aerating.

Measure

A transducer measures axial force, time and distance.

Analyze data

See data in real-time. Compare the impact of conditions like humidity, moisture content, surface properties, electrostatic charge and particle size.
