The Pharma Test PT-SV100 is a classic, accurate, and durable powder apparent/bulk density (PMD) meter (Scott volumetric gauging) designed for pharmaceutical quality control (QC), incoming material inspection, and research and development (R&D) laboratories. It can accurately and quickly measure the bulk density of free-flowing powder and granular samples through a standardized gravity feeding process.

I. Fully compliant with international standards such as USP <616> Method II, European Pharmacopoeia (EP) <2.9.34>, ISO 3923-2 and ASTM B329, providing a highly standardized testing solution specifically for measuring the apparent bulk density of powders.

II. Equipped with a specially designed 4-layer staggered inclined glass baffle box system, it can effectively eliminate the gravitational impact and air entrainment effect of free-falling powder, ensuring that the material settles in a uniform and loose state.

III. Equipped with a pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel injection funnel and a high-precision calibration cup (25 ml ± 0.05 ml), it has excellent corrosion resistance and easy-to-clean properties, ensuring that the test data has extremely high repeatability and reproducibility.

IV. Robust and durable construction with intuitive operation, providing objective, reliable and standardized quality control data for solid formulation development, powder flowability assessment, and pre-process property analysis of capsule filling and tablet manufacturing.

Equipment Introduction

• 4-Tier Staggered Baffle Buffer Flow Technology :

  • The powder is arranged in a zigzag pattern : It has 4 specially made inclined optical glass baffles built in, which repeatedly buffer and guide the powder during its fall.

  • Eliminate impact and air entrainment : Completely eliminate the gravitational impact and air entrainment phenomenon of free-falling powder.

  • Highly reproducible filling : Ensures that each test sample is filled into the measuring cup in a uniform, loose and completely consistent stacking state, providing extremely high test repeatability and reproducibility.

• High-Precision Calibrated Receiving Cup & Scraper System :

  • Standard volume design : Equipped with a high-precision cylindrical stainless steel calibration cup, with a volume precisely locked at 25.0 ml ± 0.05 ml.

  • Extrusion-free scraping technology : Includes a standard stainless steel scraper that can smoothly scrape away excess powder from the cup rim in a standardized manner, strictly avoiding additional extrusion or compaction of the powder.

  • Rapid density calculation : After weighing, the apparent density (g/ml) of the sample can be quickly calculated by dividing by 25 ml, providing accurate and objective data.

• Dual-Specification Feeding Sieve System :

  • Dual standard apertures : The top stainless steel sample inlet funnel is equipped with high-specification wear-resistant filter screens, providing a 1.0 mm (18 mesh) fine raw material standard test screen and a 2.0 mm (10 mesh) screen specifically for poor flowability and coarse particles.

  • Anti-caking and flow guiding : The screen can be quickly disassembled and replaced, effectively breaking up slightly caking materials and maintaining a stable and uniform powder flow.

• Tool-Free Quick Adjustment & Swivel Arm Mechanism :

  • Sliding profile support : Operators can manually adjust the height of the sample inlet funnel and baffle chamber and lock them securely without using any tools.

  • Horizontal rotary arm mechanism : It has a unique horizontal rotation and displacement function. After the test is completed, the baffle box can be rotated to one side directly to quickly remove the receiving cup for precise weighing, which greatly improves the smoothness of operation.

• Built-in Leveling System & GMP Hygienic Design :

  • Three-point fine-tuning level : The base integrates three-point fine-tuning anchor bolts and a high-precision bubble level, which can correct the machine to an absolute level at any time and eliminate gravity-induced material drop deviation.

  • Removable powder overflow tray : The base is equipped with a quick-detachable stainless steel powder collection tray to completely catch any spilled powder, preventing table contamination and accelerating batch-to-batch cleaning.

  • Pharmaceutical-grade corrosion-resistant materials : All parts in contact with materials are made of pharmaceutical-grade 316/304 stainless steel and optical glass, which are wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and anti-static, completely eliminating cross-contamination of samples.
