Freeman Technology Sponsors Poster Prize at PowderFlow 2011


08 November 2011: Tewkesbury, UK: Freeman Technology, specialist providers of systems and expertise for the measurement of powder flow properties, will be exhibiting the FT4 Powder Rheometer at PowderFlow 2011 (6 December 2011, London, UK), providing an opportunity for delegates to network with company specialists. As part of the company's continuing support for new research in the field of powder characterisation, Freeman Technology is also sponsoring the £250 poster prize, which will be awarded for the best poster presentation at the meeting.

The FT4 Powder Rheometer is a universal powder tester that uses patented dynamic methodology, fully automated shear cells and several bulk property tests, including density, compressibility and permeability to quantify powder properties in terms of flow and processability. Correlating this data with processing performance enables users to optimise powder processes.

Taking place at the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in London on the 6 December, PowderFlow 2011 will focus on the control, regulation and modification of powder flow. The event is organised by the Formulation Science & Technology Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry and is expected to build on the success of the inaugural 2009 meeting in providing an excellent platform for some of the most important research in powder flow. Seven speakers from the world of powder research will present their latest work.
