Granutools will participate in the IFT Annual Event & Expo 2026, organized by the Institute of Food Technologists, taking place from July 12 to 15, 2026 in Chicago, USA.

This international event gathers professionals from the food industry, research, and product development, focusing on innovation in food science, ingredient functionality, and process optimization. It provides a technical platform for discussing material behavior, formulation challenges, and processing performance in food applications.

Granutools will be present at booth 564, engaging with attendees through on-site demonstrations and technical discussions. The company will showcase three of its instruments:

• GranuPack, designed to measure powder packing dynamics and bulk density evolution
• GranuDrum, dedicated to evaluating powder flowability and cohesion under dynamic conditions
• GranuCharge AT-Line, enabling the characterization of triboelectric charge generation in powders

These instruments provide quantitative and reproducible data on powder behavior, which is essential for understanding flowability, packing, and electrostatic effects in food powders.

Such data are critical in addressing formulation and processing challenges, supporting R&D activities, product development, and process optimization in food manufacturing. Applications include improving powder handling, mixing efficiency, stability, and final product quality.

Through its participation, Granutools contributes to advancing data-driven approaches in food powder characterization, supporting innovation across food science and technology.
