Powder Flow Analysis

Certain circumstances, such as highly valuable products, prevent a customer from being able to send enough material to perform a typical in-house trial. Powder flow analysis is a testing option that can assess smaller samples of your product while still obtaining high-quality data. Using a Powder Flow Tester, DDPS can record various flow properties of materials. The data collected is then compared with historical data from our product testing database to help identify the best process solution for you. Powder flow analysis is performed for all products tested in-house, giving us the ability to make data-driven recommendations while giving you complete confidence in our proposed solution.

In-House Solids Testing

Testing the transfer capabilities of your powder is an essential step in qualifying a solution for your process. Our solids handling test center, located in our Charlotte, North Carolina facility, provides in-house testing and demonstrations for customers to witness product trials in-person (when possible). Here, we are able to imitate similar conditions to our clients’ real-world applications.

Rental Equipment

Renting a Powder Pump system is another viable method for testing the transfer efficiency of your product in conjunction with our dense-phase conveying technology. This option is necessary for extremely hazardous or explosive materials that we would be unable to test at our facility due to their volatility. Renting a Powder Pump allows you to perform your own product tests at a pace that suits you, in the real world of your own production facility. Select sizes are stocked and available for you to put through rigorous tests (along with a vacuum pump rental if needed).
