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. Based on the unit described in Ph.Eur. 2.9.16 for Flowability, the stainless steel funnel and nozzles are designed to simulate flow in a hopper or other similar production situation. Supplied with 10 mm, 15 mm and 25 mm aperture quick-change nozzles, the funnel is manufactured from pharmaceutical grade 316 stainless steel. Testing is carried out with an easy-to-use shutter. The addition of our Balance/Timer Attachment to the shutter mechanism simplifies Mass vs Time tests.
