Copley offers a range of tools for all Pharmacopoeial assessments in powder flowability testing and density testing, including equipment to assess flow through an orifice, angle of repose, shear cell as well as compressibility index and Hausner ratio. The Flowability Tester BEP2 has been specifically designed to address the specifications by the Ph. Eur. and USP on Powder Flow. The Flowability Tester BEP2 from Copley provides a range of options for testing pharmaceutical powders including three of the four methods quoted in the Pharmacopoeias – flow through an orifice, angle of repose and shear cell – in a single, cost effective unit. Providing a simple method for assessing the friction characteristics of powders, the Copley angle of repose attachment is ideal for predicting manufacturing issues associated with resistance to movement between particles. Comprising a 100 mm diameter circular test platform together with a digital gauge, powder heights of up to 300mm can be easily read from the clear gauge display. Simply dividing this value by 50 calculates the angle of repose.
