Flow testing system GTL

powder flowabilityfor the pharmaceutical industrybenchtop

The devices of the ERWEKA granulate flow tester family were developed to determine the flow behaviour of powders and granules using various measurement methods. As an entry-level device, the GTL is ideal for USP/EP-compliant measurement of the flowability of powders and granulates using the weight and volume measurement methods. Thanks to the simple numeric keypad and LC display, the device is easy to operate and all results can also be printed out. The GT has a scale - so the stable weight can be measured during the flow. In addition to the two measuring methods of the GTL (flowability by weight and volume), the GT can also measure the flowability over a certain time and the flow angle with graphical display. The GTB complements the extensive possibilities of the GT with an advanced, automatic laser measurement of the angle of repose - giving the user a comprehensive picture of the flow properties of the powder or granulate under investigation. The GTL entry-level model enables the measurement of the flow time of a predefined quantity of granulate or powder (according to EP), as well as the flow time of a specific sample volume. Thanks to the simple numerical membrane keypad, operating the device is extremely easy. The test results can be shown on the LC display and printed out via a connected printer. The standard version of the GTL is equipped with a stainless steel funnel (480 ml) and three stainless steel outlet nozzles (10/15/25 mm), which can be replaced by a quick coupling. Additional stainless steel funnels (100/200 ml) and outlet nozzles (6 / 8 / 11.3 mm) are optionally available.
