Application Note: Powder Flow Testing Of Hot Chocolate Mix

A Brookfield Powder Flow Tester, equipped with Powder Flow Pro software for automated instrument control and data acquisition, was used to test a name brand (Brand X) and a generic (Brand Y) hot chocolate mix. The hot chocolate mixes were scooped into the trough, and the scraping tool was then used to evenly distribute the powder throughout the trough. After recording the sample weights and entering it into the software, a standard flow function test and then a wall friction test were run. Time required for each test was 35 minutes and 20 minutes respectively.
