Freeman Technology to Demonstrate Powder Rheometer at British Pharmaceuticals Conference

Freeman Technology will be demonstrating the FT4 Powder Rheometer at the British Pharmaceutical Conference and Exhibition 2006, which takes place from 4-6 September at the Manchester International Convention Centre (Manchester, UK). The exhibition takes place in the adjacent G-MEX hall.

The FT4 characterises powders using dynamic methodology, complemented by shear testing and the measurement of bulk properties. A state-of-the-art system, this universal powder tester builds the most complete picture of powder behaviour. Comprehensive testing regimes can be undertaken easily and offer insight into powders and their suitability for specific processes.

Pharmaceutical industry applications range from early stage formulation through to optimising tabletting processes and troubleshooting production problems. Automated testing is fast, typically a test program is completed in around 4 minutes.
