2023 Webinars
Cycle “Behavioral R&D on rheometer (and other) in practice”
Experimental approaches to Behavioral R&D on rheometers offer industrial organizations the capacity to scientifically study at laboratory scale the couplings between materials, products and process and application conditions. R&D and partner services thus acquire new capabilities for anticipating stages of industrialization, production or application, but also in the capacity for understanding, sizing, reducing variability, and problem solving.
In this new 2023 series of free webinars intended for operational stakeholders and R&D managers in the material processing industries, we present the principles and contributions of these proven innovative approaches, using concrete examples.
Program
Granulation in a micro-pilot instrumented on a rheometer
It is common in many sectors to granulate powders, aiming among other things to increase their particle size, reduce fines, homogenize a powder mixture or improve flow behavior.
In this webinar, we will present the different granulation pathways, the underlying physical principles and mechanisms and introduce our innovative micro-pilot granulation approach instrumented on a rheometer. We will notably discuss the interest of the approach for testing binders, defining process conditions, with limited material consumption.

Agitation and mixing in a micro-pilot instrumented on a rheometer
Anticipation in R&D of the industrial conditions for mixing complex formulas is often limited, often consisting at best of conducting empirical tests in pilot installations that are greedy in terms of materials and implementation time.
In this webinar, we present our approach to studying agitation/mixing in a micro-pilot instrumented on a rheometer, allowing both to test various process conditions (mobiles, speeds, etc.) and to monitor the evolution in real time. of the product (pasty, emulsion, etc.), particularly in contexts of successive incorporation of ingredients.

Dynamic physical behavior of powders on rheometer
Most of the instrumental methods for powders only provide information on static states, often making it impossible to interpret and understand concrete problem phenomena (hopper blockage, flowability problem, caking, etc.).
In this webinar, we present some powder rheometry techniques, allowing access to quantifications of dynamic physical behaviors. We will show the concrete contributions for concrete industrial problems of mineral, organic powders, polysaccharides, etc.
