Processability measurement
La processability of your materials — that is, their suitability for transformation into finished products via processes such as granulating, extrusion, foaming, fluidization, mixed, etc. — is often a key factor in industrial performance. Without fine control of this behavior, we can face:
- blockages in the production line,
- batch-to-batch variations,
- unexpected changes in texture or structure,
- significant waste of material
At Rheonis, we develop and implement processability measures robust, capable of simulating real transformations in our laboratories or on your pilot lines. Thanks to instrumented micro-pilot tools and precise experimental support, we quantify the key performance levers for your products and processes.
Key services in processability measurement
Instrumented granulation
Analysis of kinetic and mechanical parameters to optimize agglomeration, granule size, and cohesion in wet or dry granulation
Extrudability
Determination of material and thermal parameters favorable to extrusion
Foaming, fluidization, impregnation, transportability
Tests to evaluate the ability of formulations to develop foam, flow, be transported, etc.
Mixing and stirring
Characterization of mixing abilities and favorable conditions for suspension and homogenization
