Powder Flow Testers
Characterise powder flow to optimise manufacturing and product quality.
The flow behaviour of powders has a direct impact on manufacturing efficiency, product quality and process reliability. Poor powder flow can lead to inconsistent blending, hopper blockages, segregation, dosing errors and production downtime.
Brookfield Powder Flow Testers provide quantitative measurements of powder flowability, cohesion and compressibility, allowing manufacturers to predict how powders will behave during storage, transport and processing.
BlueScientific supplies the complete range of Brookfield powder flow testers across the north of the UK.
We support laboratories in research, quality control and manufacturing with expert application advice, demonstrations and technical support.
