The Powder Flow Analyser enables the evaluation of a variety of samples from powders to end products, assessing their flow, attrition, aggregation and caking properties. Further analysis of powders and granules, from the mechanical strength of a single particle to the progressive swelling and disintegration of granules and pellets, can be conducted with the TA.XTPlus texture analyser, whose performance has been boosted by the recently upgraded software.
