Powder flowability and compressibility analysis
Ensure accurate powder flowability and compressibility data with this advanced analysis tool, crucial for optimizing formulations and achieving consistent quality in production lines.
Analyzes Powder Flowability and Compressibility
The Powdertester PT-X from Hosokawa Micron is a specialized instrument designed for precise powder characterization in various industrial applications. It stands out due to its automated vibration analysis, which utilizes the Carr Index methodology to evaluate powder flowability, compressibility, and dispersibility. Ideal for sectors such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food processing, the PT-X supports diverse end-products including pharmaceutical tablets, granola bars, and recycled plastic parts. With an amplitude range of 0-3 mm and tapping capabilities from 1 to 9,999 taps, it ensures comprehensive testing and analysis. Integrated with user-friendly software and optional HEPA filter dust protection, this device offers reliable data with minimal operator intervention. Built with compliance for FDA’s tapped bulk density and ASTM standards, it seamlessly fits into lab settings with its compact design. The Powdertester PT-X is engineered for ease of integration, making it a valuable addition to any lab-focused on powder-related research and development.
