The characterization methods are either related to the properties of the grains (granulometry, chemical composition, morphology), or to the behavior of the bulk powder (density, flowability ...

Composed of a silo with different apertures associated with a dedicated electronic balance to measure the flowrate, the GranuFlow is an easy to use powder flowability measurement device.

But these procedures have traditionally been fraught with problems due to their unpredictable and irregular behaviour, specifically with respect to flowability. Many common manufacturing problems are ...

or to the bulk powder behavior such as density, flowability, electrostatic properties, blend stability, and so on. Conversely, with regards to the physical behavior of bulk powder, the majority of the ...

Table 4: Most conventional flowability descriptors measured after fluidization. In our study, Revolution was used to test the flowability of Cefaclor; the analyses were performed on the samples with ...

This article reflects on the challenges that predicting powder flowability currently pose to the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry and considers some of the benefits that can accrue when companies ...

These changes affect the cohesiveness of the powder, which, in turn, influences its flowability. 1 Therefore, evaluating powder flowability at temperatures similar to manufacturing is essential ...
