FT4 Powder Rheometer transforms powder testing capabilities at AZO GmbH + Co. KG supporting the development of tailored powder handling solutions

摘要

At AZO GmbH + Co. KG (Osterburken, Germany), one of the world's leading suppliers of automated raw material handling equipment, the introduction of the FT4 Powder Rheometer has revolutionised the company's approach to powder characterisation. Replacing older shear cell equipment and a basic powder tester, use of the FT4 has dramatically reduced the time taken to reliably characterise a new powder and enhanced AZO's ability to design and specify optimised solutions uniquely tailored to individual customer needs.By providing dynamic powder testing capability, the FT4 Powder Rheometer is giving AZO a new set of parameters with which to rationalise the in-process behaviour of powders. This additional information and 6xtra insight is helping the company to develop new, more secure design protocols and to more efficiently identify optimal powder handling solutions for its clients.
