Dr Ludwig Schneider who joined powder characterisation company
Freeman Technology in December last year, has taken up the role
of Applications Specialist, focusing on supporting customers in
Germany, Switzerland, Austria and France. He is one of a number
of new appointments made by the company in recent months, reflecting
continued sales growth in Europe, the USA and Japan.
Having studied and worked in Germany, France and the UK, Dr Schneider
brings considerable expertise to the position of Applications Specialist.
He has a PhD in powder metallurgy, has conducted post-doctoral research
into powder flowability, powder compaction and discrete element
modelling of powder assemblies.
Dr Schneider will provide technical and applications support to
users of the FT4 Powder Rheometer, a universal powder tester that
unifies three methodologies in a single instrument - the measurement
of bulk, shear and dynamic properties. The system is used across
many different industries to deliver a comprehensive picture of
powder behaviour, whatever the processing conditions.
About Freeman Technology
Freeman Technology is a specialist company pioneering the measurement
and understanding of powders and their flow properties. Founded
in 1989, the company developed the novel, patented technology that
forms the core of its Powder Rheometer system at its design and
manufacturing centre near Malvern in Worcestershire, UK where all
manufacturing takes place in an ISO 9001:2000 accredited environment.
The FT4 Powder Rheometer is a universal powder tester that provides
three complementary approaches in a single instrument: measurement
of bulk properties including permeability, bulk density and compressability;
shear property determination with automated shear cells; and dynamic
flowability using patented methodology. In April 2007 the company
received the Queen's Award for Enterprise in Innovation.
Freeman systems are installed around the world in a diverse range
of industries. Applications range from optimising new formulations
and improving the efficiency of manufacturing processes to the establishment
of QC criteria for raw materials, intermediates and final product.
