Rheometer Setups for Powder

The MCR rheometer setups for powder characterise flow behaviour under realistic conditions. The combination of two powder cells (powder flow cell and powder shear cell) opens up the possibility of applying static and dynamic measurement methods to simulate various manufacturing and storage processes.

The powder shear cell is ideal for determining the flow behaviour of consolidated powders and their time-dependent behaviour. Additional accessories provide full control over temperature and humidity.

The powder flow cell is an innovative and scientific approach to powder characterisation offering a wide range of test methods. It is perfect for investigating a powder’s fluidisation behaviour in a dust-free environment. Also, powder behaviour can be characterized under various processing conditions: simulating, adjusting, and optimising, e.g., manufacturing processes.

Anton Paar’s new e-book, the ‘Field Guide to Food Powder Characterization’, explains how Anton Paar’s MCR rheometer setups for powder help you deepen your understanding of manufacturing processes and transportation. Storage issues such as time consolidation (caking) can result in poor product quality and waste. Additionally, undesired powder flow behaviour can lead to stickiness and other disturbances during the production process.
