Powder Flow Tester

The Powder Flow Tester brings quick and easy analysis of powder flow behavior in industrial processing equipment. Evaluate powder discharge from storage containers. Use as QC check for incoming materials. Rapidly characterize new formulations for flowability and adjust composition to match flow behavior of established products.
