The authors present a simple and material-sparing approach for estimating the powder-flow performance of previously uncharacterized single-component bulk powders when only particle-size distribution ...

The trend towards developing pharmaceutical products and their manufacturing processes in tandem supports optimized production. Such developments rely on gathering process-relevant information at an ...

Brookfield Engineering US in this article gives insights on the flow patterns and flow obstructions that can occur inside the storage vessels on a processing line A typical industrial powder ...

The FT4 Powder Rheometer ® is a universal powder tester designed for measuring the properties of powder flow, and the behavior of powder. The FT4 is a unique powder characterization, but also used as ...

A better understanding of powder behavior at the time of preparation, transfer, and filling of dies is crucial in powder metallurgy. This is because every step has an impact on the quality of the ...

The uses of rheology are spreading beyond their traditional scope in mechanical engineering. Powder tribology, in particular, is increasingly being used in pharmaceutical formulation. How do powders ...
