Freeman Technology To Deliver Course On Blending, Flow Of Pharmaceutical Powders

Tim Freeman, director of operations for Freeman Technology, will again join academics and other industry experts for the next Mixing Consultants course covering aspects of powder characterization.

The course will include regulatory perspectives, mixing of free-flowing materials, mixing of cohesive materials, lubrication, continuous mixing and powder flow issues.

Mr. Freeman said: “Once again I am pleased to be sharing Freeman Technology’s understanding and knowledge of powder characterisation, and its relationship to processing. Since modern instrumentation now allows for the creation of a database of powder properties, hard-earned processing experience can be correlated with powder characteristics. We see productivity and product quality improving as powder processing becomes less of an art and more of a science.”

Freeman Technology’s FT4 powder tester performs a range of methodologies, measuring shear, bulk and dynamic properties in a short time, using relatively small amounts of material.

The course will be held in Pearl River, New York, from 23 – 25 February. The course will covers the ‘blending and flow of pharmaceutical powders’. The content will be delivered by: Professor Fernando Muzzio of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; Ralf Kretzschmar, President of Glatt Systemtechnik; Ralf Weinekötter, General Manager of Gericke; and Tim freeman.
