The Powder Flow Analyser
An accurate and reliable method of measuring the flow characteristics of powders
Controlled Flow measurement
Test virtually any material capable of flow and displacement – not just free flowing powders. Impose extremely gentle through to aggressive flows, and measure the resulting force to characterise the sample under those controlled conditions. Users can define sample flow to suit the sample type and characteristic of interest, or to be complementary to the process conditions experienced by the sample.
Apply multiple actions
Compaction, slice, shear, lift/aeration are all achievable and test programmable in the manner most suited to the sample and your process need.
Measure multiple characteristics
Measure cohesion, caking, bridging, bulk density, compressibility, relaxation, stiffness, elastic recovery, and powder flow speed dependence.
The complete testing solution
Stable Micro Systems use the test frame and vertical drive system provided by a universal Texture Analyser, and add the rotational drive and software functionality to form the Powder Flow Analyser. Remove the Powder Flow Analyser for the ability to measure more powder characteristics such as: caking after consolidation, unconfined yield stress, vertical shear strength and compactability. Alternative powder flow products are not nearly as comprehensive.
