UK-based powder characterisation specialist Freeman Technology has expanded its global operations with the establishment of an office in Germany. “We have been working with businesses in Germany since the company was founded.  It has long been a region with a significant number of powder processing companies across a range of industries” said managing director Tim Freeman. “The region’s economic status is supported by competence in engineering and manufacturing. Following our recent expansions into other countries and the diversification of our product line, Germany was the obvious next step”. Daniel Weber will head the German operation, providing sales and customer support.

 

Freeman Technology’s solutions include the FT4 Powder Rheometer, a unique and comprehensive powder tester, which uses patented dynamic methodology, automated shear cells (in accordance with ASTM D7891) and a series of bulk property tests to quantify powder behaviour in terms of flow and processability. This is complemented by the Uniaxial Powder Tester, which provides an accurate and repeatable measure of the uniaxial unconfined yield strength (uUYS) of a powder to assess and rank flowability. The company, also offers in-line, real-time flow measurement capabilities via an exclusive partnership with Lenterra Inc, a manufacturer of optical flow sensor technology. www.freemantech.co.uk
