Dr. Dietmar Schulze GmbH provides testing equipment for powder and bulk-solids flowability, as well as hopper design software. Its core products include automatic/computer-controlled Ring Shear Testers and the CAHD software for flow design. This is not aimed at general software development use cases, but at powder-engineering problems in industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food, batteries, metallurgy, 3D printing, and silo design.
Its ring shear testers are used to measure powder flow functions, strength, internal friction, wall friction, time consolidation/caking, and flowability index. The RST Mk II is designed for a broader range of applications, supporting samples with a wide particle-size distribution up to around 10 mm, and comes with RST-CONTROL v3. The RST-XS.s focuses on small sample volumes, with a standard volume of about 30 ml and a minimum of about 3.5 ml, making it suitable for lab scenarios where sample material is limited. CAHD is interactive hopper design software that calculates the hopper slope required for mass flow based on A. W. Jenike’s theory, determines outlet dimensions to avoid arching and ratholing, and generates charts, extrapolations, and comprehensive documentation. The website also lists Jenike-type shear tester software, Silo stress tool, product PDFs, papers, books, seminars, and consulting/testing services.
The main content does not disclose pricing, licensing models, or trial policies for the hardware or CAHD. It only marks Silo stress tool as Freeware, so procurement will most likely require an email inquiry. In terms of usability, the automation, computer control, and “user-controlled, transparent” CAHD workflow are advantages. However, the site does not specify operating system support, data import/export, API/SDK availability, scripting capabilities, or integration with third-party engineering software, so support for developer-oriented automation workflows is unclear.
Its strengths are deep specialization, coverage of the full loop from material testing to hopper design, and support through papers, documentation, and consulting services. The downside is that information disclosure is typical of a traditional industrial-equipment website: pricing, interfaces, deployment, licensing, and Chinese-language service information are lacking. It is suitable for powder laboratories, process engineers, silo/hopper designers, and industrial R&D teams. If you are looking for a general developer tool, open-source library, or cloud API, it is not a good fit.
Access from mainland China, payment methods, and local distributor information are not specified in the main content, so they should be considered unknown. If purchasing from China, you should first confirm direct website access, email response efficiency, payment methods, import procedures, and after-sales support. Alternatives should be evaluated separately within the fields of powder rheometers, shear testers, and silo design software according to the relevant industry standards and use case.
