New monitoring probes for these powder-testing systems
This company’s powder-testing equipment is now available with new technology that enables inline, realtime process monitoring. Lenterra Drag Force Flow (DFF) and RealShear Wall Shear Stress probes provide continuous, realtime data via optical fibers, enabling users to assess processes and make decisions without the need to interrupt operations. The company is also showcasing its FT4 powder rheometer, which uses a patented dynamic methodology, automated shear cells and a series of bulk property tests to quantify powder behavior in terms of flow and processability. The complementary Uniaxial Powder Tester provides an accurate and repeatable measure of the uniaxial unconfined yield strength (uUYS) of a powder to assess and rank flowability.
