Understanding how products behave in real-life conditions requires more than basic viscosity measurements. This is where Texture & Powder Flow Testing Solutions from Brookfield deliver critical value for quality control and R&D laboratories. Through Gemicatech, an authorized Brookfield distributor in Egypt, laboratories can access advanced tools that reveal how materials feel, break, compress, stretch, and flow before issues appear in production.
The Brookfield CTX Texture Analyzer is designed to provide real-world insight into material behavior through precise compression and tension testing. It allows laboratories to evaluate tablet hardness, yogurt lid peelability, lipstick tensile strength, packaging seal integrity, and many other physical properties under controlled and repeatable conditions. With interchangeable load cells ranging from 100 g to 100 kg, extended travel up to 280 mm, and a high 500 Hz data output rate, the CTX captures the exact point at which a sample yields or fractures. This level of precision makes it ideal for both routine QC testing and advanced R&D material characterization.
The CTX is supported by optional TexturePro software, available in standard and 21 CFR Part 11–compliant versions, enabling method creation, automated data capture, curve analysis, and secure reporting. A wide range of probes and fixtures—along with custom-designed accessories—allows one CTX instrument to support multiple departments, including R&D, QC, packaging development, and product optimization.
Complementing texture analysis, the Brookfield PFT Powder Flow Testers focus on one of the most common causes of production downtime: unpredictable powder flow. These instruments provide fast, bench-top analysis of powder flow properties, helping manufacturers prevent hopper blockages, arching, rat-holing, and inconsistent discharge. A full flow function test can be completed in about 25 minutes, delivering essential data such as flowability, wall friction, bulk density, compressibility, and hopper design parameters.
The PFT system is supplied with Powder Flow Pro software, which guides users through standardized tests and generates clear graphical results. Optional shear cell kits, wall friction lids, environmental sensors, and calibration materials allow testing under conditions that closely match real production environments.
By combining the Brookfield CTX Texture Analyzer with Brookfield PFT Powder Flow Testers, Texture & Powder Flow Testing Solutions from Brookfield provide a complete understanding of material performance. Supported locally by Gemicatech’s technical expertise, these solutions help laboratories reduce risk, optimize formulations, minimize downtime, and bring higher-quality products to market faster.
