Freeman Technology Company Overview
Freeman Technology is a specialist company that has pioneered the measurement and understanding of powders and their flow properties.
Working at the company's R&D and manufacturing centre in Worcestershire, UK, Freeman's team of scientists and engineers developed the novel, patented technology that forms the core of Freeman's FT4 Powder Rheometer. This universal powder tester provides three complementary approaches in a single instrument: measurement of bulk properties including permeability, bulk density, and compressibility; shear property determination with automated shear cells; and dynamic flowability using patented methodology.
Freeman systems are installed around the world in a diverse range of industries, including chemical, pharmaceutical, toners, foods, powder coatings, metals, cosmetics, and many others. The primary application is providing powder data to correlate with processing performance which enables clients to quantify and utilise their extensive processing experience and know how.
Freeman Technology was founded in 1989 as a developer and supplier of automated testing systems for the characterisation of a variety of materials. The focus of the business turned to the testing of powders in 1996 with the completion of feasibility studies that led to new design concepts and the patenting of an innovative displacement principle that became the basis of the FT4 Powder Rheometer. In April 2007, the company received the Queen's Award for Enterprise in Innovation. www.freemantech.co.uk.
