Bulk Powder Properties

How often have you heard the phrase "our minimum order volume is". If this is happening? and it's an issue for you, please approach Particle Technology because we will do our best to help you.

Particle Technology Ltd have the facilities for the manipulation of powder properties by measuring, adjusting and controlling the particle size distribution using various processes.

Using our laboratory and pilot plant facilities we can produce R&D quantities of products for trials, and ongoing production lots if required.

Available plant includes high speed pin mills, hammer mill, cone crusher, ball mills, continuous flow vibratory ball mill, planetary mill, air classifier and multideck sieving machine. In addition we have helical screw blenders and high shear mixer for the dissolution of solids or liquid mixing.

Processing of custom supplied materials can be conducted on a contract basis within certain batch size limitations.

Analytical services and methods are available for the measurement of the following bulk powder properties:

  • Bulk Density
  • Compacted or Tap Density by Auto-Tap
  • True Density by Helium Pycnometer
  • Density of Liquid Slurry by Hydrometer
  • Effects of Temperature up to 4000C
  • Effects of Humidity/Water
  • Chemical Analysis: Presence of Water / Hydrocarbons / Volatiles
  • Angle of Response
  • pH
  • Refractive Index (solids or lquids)
  • Total Suspended Solids
  • Total Dissolved Solids
  • Volatiles (organic or water)

Please phone 01283 520365 or email info@particletechnology.com for any extra information on this or any other service.
