Freeman Technology Adds Another Applications Specialist to the Team


Dr Ludwig Schneider who joined powder characterisation company Freeman Technology in December last year, has taken up the role of Applications Specialist, focusing on supporting customers in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and France. He is one of a number of new appointments made by the company in recent months, reflecting continued sales growth in Europe, the USA and Japan.

Having studied and worked in Germany, France and the UK, Dr Schneider brings considerable expertise to the position of Applications Specialist. He has a PhD in powder metallurgy, has conducted post-doctoral research into powder flowability, powder compaction and discrete element modelling of powder assemblies.

Dr Schneider will provide technical and applications support to users of the FT4 Powder Rheometer, a universal powder tester that unifies three methodologies in a single instrument - the measurement of bulk, shear and dynamic properties. The system is used across many different industries to deliver a comprehensive picture of powder behaviour, whatever the processing conditions.

About Freeman Technology
Freeman Technology is a specialist company pioneering the measurement and understanding of powders and their flow properties. Founded in 1989, the company developed the novel, patented technology that forms the core of its Powder Rheometer system at its design and manufacturing centre near Malvern in Worcestershire, UK where all manufacturing takes place in an ISO 9001:2000 accredited environment. The FT4 Powder Rheometer is a universal powder tester that provides three complementary approaches in a single instrument: measurement of bulk properties including permeability, bulk density and compressability; shear property determination with automated shear cells; and dynamic flowability using patented methodology. In April 2007 the company received the Queen's Award for Enterprise in Innovation.

Freeman systems are installed around the world in a diverse range of industries. Applications range from optimising new formulations and improving the efficiency of manufacturing processes to the establishment of QC criteria for raw materials, intermediates and final product. www.freemantech.co.uk
