Description

Master the Flow of Your Powders: The Moncon Powder Flow Tester (PFT)

Unpredictable powder flow can wreak havoc on your production processes, leading to downtime, inconsistencies, and even safety hazards. The Moncon Powder Flow Tester (PFT) equips you with the knowledge to ensure smooth, reliable powder flow in all your applications.

This innovative instrument provides a comprehensive analysis of your powder’s flow behavior. The PFT doesn’t just measure basic flowability; it delves deeper, delivering critical data on properties like:

  • Flow Function: Understand how readily your powder flows under different shear conditions, allowing for optimized hopper design and storage solutions.
  • Bulk Density: Accurately determine the density of your powder in its loose and tapped states, crucial for optimizing material handling and transport.
  • Arching Dimensions: Identify the potential for arching and ratholing within your hoppers, enabling proactive measures to prevent flow disruptions.
  • Compressibility: Evaluate how much your powder compacts under pressure, providing insights into its suitability for tableting or other compaction processes.

Benefits of Choosing the Moncon Powder Flow Tester (PFT):

  • Enhanced Process Efficiency: By optimizing powder flow, the PFT minimizes downtime, improves product consistency, and reduces waste.
  • Cost Savings: Reduced equipment wear, minimized material waste, and streamlined production processes lead to significant cost savings.
  • Improved Safety: Predictable powder flow minimizes the risk of blockages, explosions, and other safety hazards associated with erratic flow.
  • Informed Decision-Making: The PFT empowers you to make data-driven decisions regarding material selection, equipment design, and storage procedures.
