Apparent bulk density tester for granules and powders

Ensure accurate formulation by determining the apparent bulk density of powders and granules, a crucial step in maintaining quality control during the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and fine chemical compounds.

Measures Apparent Bulk Density of Powders and Granules

The SMG 697 from ERWEKA GmbH is a manual bulk density tester designed to deliver accurate measurements of apparent density for powders and granules. What sets this equipment apart is its ability to provide reproducible results critical for quality assurance in pharmaceutical, chemical, and food processing labs. The apparatus follows DIN ISO 697 standards, utilizing a funnel of specified shape to fill a powder receiver under set conditions. This bench-top unit is ideal for research and development departments, offering applications in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical tablets, vitamin supplements, and fine chemical compounds. The SMG 697, made from corrosion-resistant materials such as 1.4305 and 1.4571 stainless steel, ensures durability and long service life. With its manual operation, it supports comprehensive testing without the need for automation. The compact design fits seamlessly on laboratory benches, and its various sizes make it suitable for diverse testing needs. Included with the delivery are operating instructions and a calibration certificate, ensuring ease of setup and operation.
