Bettersize Instruments HFlow 1 Bulk Density and Flow Rate Analyzer

Bettersize Instruments Ltd. HFlow 1 Bulk Density and Flow Rate Analyzer

The HFlow 1 Flow Rate Analyzer is a reliable and accurate instrument for measuring bulk density and flow rate in pharmaceutical and metal powders. It allows the sample to flow through a conventional Hall funnel, Carney funnel or Gustavsson funnel, providing accurate and reliable powder flow measurements. Compliant with USP, Ph. Eur., ASTM and ISO standards, it is ideal for use in laboratories and manufacturing plants that handle pharmaceutical and metal powders.

• Features and benefits:
  • Measurement: Bulk density and flow rate of bulk material
  • Technology: Flow velocity measuring funnel
  • Three types of funnels: Hall (2.5 mm opening), Carney (5 mm opening) and Gustavsson (2.5 mm opening).

1. Measurement: Bulk Density and Flow Rate
   The HFlow 1 measures both bulk density and flow rate in pharmaceutical and metal powders, offering a choice of three standard funnels – Hall, Carney and Gustavsson. Compliant with USP, Ph. Eur., ASTM and ISO standards, it is adaptable to a wide range of applications, allowing customers to choose the one that best suits their measurement requirements.
2. Measurement Procedure
   • Bulk density of bulk material
   • Flow rate
3. Application Example
   Analyzing the bulk density and flow rate of various metal powders used in additive manufacturing (AM).
   HFlow 1 with Hall, Carney and Gustavsson funnels with different openings and angles can be used to test the bulk density and flow rate of various metal AM powders, assessing their compressibility.
4. Compatibility
   The combination of the Bettersizer 2600 laser diffraction analyzer and HFlow 1 helps maintain the particle size distribution and flow properties of AM powders.
   During the feed preparation process, small particles tend to agglomerate, which can impair the powder bed bonding processes. Agglomerates will impede powder flow by increasing interparticle friction.
