Powder flow measurement system
Achieve precise control over powder consistency and prevent process disruptions by assessing flow characteristics to ensure reliability in your production line.
Analyzes Powder Flow and Material Characteristics
The Powder Flow Analyser from Stable Micro Systems is designed for precision testing in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. It utilizes a sophisticated rotational drive and programmable testing functions to assess powder characteristics such as compaction, slicing, and aeration. This flexibility enables analysis across a diverse range of applications, including testing powders for cornflakes, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Its automated system can handle sample sizes from 20ml to 200ml, ensuring minimal material waste, a crucial feature for expensive or limited-availability substances. Integration with Exponent Connect software allows for comprehensive data capture and analysis, with up to 2000 data points per second, enhancing result accuracy. Built with precision-machined components, the analyser provides reliable performance and easy maintenance, supporting Clean-In-Place (CIP) processes for contamination-free cleaning. Additionally, it offers customization options, including optional accessories for extended testing capabilities, meeting rigorous industry standards and contributing to efficient production lines across various sectors.
