Powder processing lies at the heart of pharmaceutical manufacture. It is therefore necessary that efforts to improve efficiency and preserve quality must focus on understanding and controlling powder behaviour.

Freeman Technology specialises in systems for measuring the flow properties of powders and has over 15 years’ experience in powder flow and powder characterisation.

Getting to grips with granulation: a new eBook from Freeman Technology A new eBook from Freeman Technology, a Micromeritics company and global leader in powder characterisation, explores the application of powder flow measurements for monitoring and optimising granulation processes.​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​Freeman Technology – Powder Flow Testing for Granulation Processes Granulation is a vital unit operation for many industries, notably the pharmaceutical sector, but endpoi...

Industrial Applications of Powder Rheology Webinar Series Scientists and engineers at Evonik, one of the world’s leading speciality chemicals companies, have been successfully using the FT4 Powder Rheometer® for many years, Freeman Technology are delighted that they will be joining a series of five webinars to share their experiences.​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​ The first - Industrial Applications of Powder Rheology Part 1 – takes place on April 6th and will include a talk from...

Limitations of Simple Powder Flow Measurements and Particle Size Analysis for Bulk Powder Characterisation Freeman Technology is pleased to announce the release of a new application note “Limitations of Simple Powder Flow Measurements and Particle Size Analysis for Bulk Powder Characterisation”. An important point to appreciate about powders is that they are essentially three-phase systems consisting of solid particles, liquid (often relatively poorly controlled levels of water) and gas, ty...

Understanding Powders Whitepaper Over the 20 years that Tim Freeman (Managing Director, Freeman Technology) has been working with powders, significant advances have been made in powder testing technology and in the efficiency of powder processing. These advances come from a more developed and secure understanding of powders and how to control their performance. The discussions with those in the industry tend to focus on the following key themes: Why isn’t my powder (process) performing well? ...

Freeman Technology is pleased to announce the release of a new application note that demonstrates the value of powder rheology in identifying and quantifying minor differences in material batches that can influence process performance and ultimately impact product quality and productivity. Titanium Dioxide has been used as a pigment and opacifier in a wide range of industries for many years, due to its bright white colour and high refractive index. However, despite such widespread use, processi...
