Powder feeding behavior characterization solution
In pharmaceutical R&D, feeding and dosing individual powders accurately is essential during the early stages to ensure consistency for continuous manufacturing processes. Challenges include varied powder flow properties, precise dosage, and maintaining consistency across different formulation batches.
Evaluate and optimize powder feeding behavior
The ConsiGma® CF20 Test Rig by GEA is a standalone module specifically designed for characterizing the feeding behavior of powders during the initial phases of research and development. This equipment enables you to measure and optimize the feeding of powders for throughputs ranging from 0.025 to 60.00 kg/h, depending on the product type. The unit is useful for companies interested in integrating precise continuous feeding steps into their operations, regardless of whether it’s for a fully integrated continuous line or individual unit operations. The standard configuration includes a powder hopper, top-up valve, and a compact feeder, with options available for different gearboxes and weigh scales to fine-tune powder feeding. The test rig minimizes the amount of powder required, and the used powder can be reused, making it an efficient option for R&D purposes.
