BROOKFIELD AMETEK POWDER FLOW TESTER PFT™ Powder Flow Tester ...affordable testing for powder characterization The PFT 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. Choice of Test Options: - Flow Function - Time Consolidated Test with Flow Function - Wall Friction - Bulk Density Choice of Flow Function Tests: - Demo (8 minutes) - Standard (38 minutes) - Time Consolidation (user-defined) Real Time Clock Displays: - Test Step - Remaining Time to Completion Shearing Algorithm Captures: - Peak Stress Value - Subsequent Stable Stress Value - Recognizes “Slip Stick” Materials Data Output: - Flow Index for Powder Flowability - Arching Dimension (Index) - Rat-hole Diameter - Hopper Half Angle - Gravity Chute Angle (Wall Friction Angle) - Bulk Density Curve Compact design with small footprint Tester fits conveniently on workbench Depth: 15inches / 38cm Width: 14inches / 36cm Height: 27inches / 69cm What's Included? Instrument Powder Flow Pro Software with USB Cable What else is needed? Developed in association with The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology at the University of Greenwich, England. Choose one or both: - Standard Volume Accessory Kit 230cc Trough & 33cc Vane Lid - Small Volume Accessory Kit 38cc Trough & 5cc Vane Lid Each of the above include: Wall Friction Lid 304 s/s simulated 2B finish Outer Catch Tray Inner Catch Tray w/ Scraper Tool Powder Scoop Cleaning Brush Optional Accessories Wall Friction Lids in Mild Steel 22-28RA, Tivar 88 or special order Temperature Probe Humidity Sensor Sieve Kit Standard or Small Volume Carrying Case for easy transport Sand Castle Demonstration Kit Powder Flow Demonstration Kit .795-13.252 kPa Standard Volume Vane Lid .289-4.819 kPa

Powder Flow Pro Software Operation and control of the Powder Flow Tester is accomplished with Powder Flow Pro Software. Main screen provides choice of basic tests: - Flow Function - Wall Friction - Time Consolidated Flow Function - Bulk Density Close-up View of Vane Lid used for Flow Function Test. Close-up View of Wall Friction Lid for wall friction test and density test Reversible Scraper Tool Stress data output screen captures “normal stress” and “shear stress” values and plots data in graphical format (calculates Mohr Circle Failure Loci). Flow Function test produces graphs of powder...
