The new Brookfield Powder Flow Tester is the simple answer to industry needs:
- A competent lab technician can run tests and collect data within minutes, eliminating the need for a powder specialist.
- The automated analysis provided by the Powder Flow Pro software calculates various properties of the powder, including the critical dimensions for reliable powder flow out of the hoppers, feeders, bins and silos.
- The Wolfson Center for Bulk Solids Handling Technology at the University of Greenwich, England, has worked closely with Brookfield to design the Powder Flow Tester, thereby ensuring its suitability for practical industrial use.
- The competitive purchase price is a small fraction of comparable devices available in the powder flow market.

Analysis of the “Flow Function” leads to calculation of the critical outlet dimensions of feeders, hoppers, etc., through which the powder will flow.
Comparing the “Flow Function”, or these critical dimensions, allows powders to be benchmarked, ranked and compared against one another for flowability.
The dimensions can also be used to determine whether a particular powder will flow through an existing plant or process, or to determine what the geometry should be if purchasing new solids handling equipment.

Applications include but are not limited to R&D, Incoming Materials Inspection, New Product Formulation, Quality Control, Process Plant Design
