powder flowabilitypHfor the pharmaceutical industry

Copley offers a comprehensive range of powder flowability testing tools for all pharmacopoeial assessments as well as supporting industries such as cosmetics, food production and additive manufacturing. The Powder Testing Workstation™ PTW can be configured to support six established methods including Angle of Repose, Flow Through an Orifice via Cylinder and Funnel, Bulk Density via Scott Volumeter and Shear Cell, plus Flowability and Bulk Density of Metal Powders (Hall, Gustavsson and Carney Flowmeter). The Powder Testing Workstation PTW has been specifically designed to meet the standards outlined by USP, Ph. Eur., ASTM, and ISO for powder flow testing. The PTW provides a versatile solution, integrating six powder testing methods into a single, cost-effective unit, including Angle of Repose, Flow Through an Orifice via Cylinder and Funnel, Bulk Density via Scott Volumeter and Shear Cell, plus Flowability and Bulk Density of Metal Powders (Hall, Gustavsson and Carney Flowmeter). Designed in accordance with USP and Ph. Eur. Chapters 2.9.36 and 2.9.16 for Flowability, the stainless-steel funnel and nozzles simulate flow in a hopper or other similar production equipment. Supplied with 5, 7, 10, 15 and 25 mm aperture quick-change nozzles, the funnel is manufactured from pharmaceutical grade 316 stainless steel. Testing is performed using a simple, user-friendly shutter system. Optional Balance and Timer attachments further simplify mass vs time tests.
