Powder flow analysis
Powder flow analysis
The Powder Flow Tester (PFT) from Brookfield provides quick and easy analysis of powder flow behaviour in industrial processing equipment and is particularly suited for manufacturers who process powders daily and want to minimise or eliminate the downtime and expense that occur when hoppers/silos fail to discharge. With the new system, customers can also perform QC checks on incoming materials, quickly characterise new formulations for flowability and adjust composition to match the flow behaviour of established products. The instrument features a variety of test options including flow function, time consolidation, wall friction and bulk density measurements. Time estimates for the duration of each test are automatically calculated before the start of each test in case adjustments are needed. The operator also has a choice of graphical or tabular data output format for each test, plus calculations for arching dimension, rathole diameter and hopper half-angle.
