Powder flowability and compressibility analysis
In industries that handle dry powders, understanding the material’s flowability, dispersibility, and compressibility is vital. Challenges include maintaining consistent flow, avoiding clogging, and ensuring reliable mixing processes.
Analyze powder properties with precision
The Powdertester PT-X, developed by Hosokawa Alpine, utilizes Ralph L. Carr’s Carr Index to provide comprehensive analysis of dry powders’ flowability, dispersibility, and compressibility. This latest model boasts state-of-the-art technology, making it suitable for a variety of applications within the chemical, food, pharma, and recycling industries. The system includes an automated vibration mechanism with an electronically controlled vib-sensor, ensuring repeatable results. It supports a range of tests with variable amplitude and tapping settings. The compact design is 34% smaller than previous models, and it features user-friendly software to minimize analysis time. The Powdertester PT-X complies with FDA Tapped Bulk Density (USP) and ASTM standards, incorporating a Mettler Toledo weighing balance for accurate measurements.
