Powder Tester PT-X
Hosokawa Micron's Powder Characteristics Tester PT-X employs the methods developed by Ralph L. Carr (Carr Indices) to assess the flowability and floodability of dry powders. Despite its compact size, the PT-X can measure seven different characteristics and three auxiliary values for a wide range of applications.
Since 1968, when the original Powder Tester was introduced, over 3,500 units have been sold worldwide. The testing standards established by the Powder Tester have made it the preferred choice in the development of more than 3000 patents.
Features and Benefits of the PT-X
- User-friendly control: The PT-X operates through a tablet computer, allowing easy network data processing. It is also compatible with FDA’s CFR Part 11 for electronic records and digital signatures.
- Accurate and efficient angle measurements: The CCD camera angle measurement system shortens measurement time and increases accuracy.
- Enhanced reproducibility: Improved consistency in automatic shocker operations, refined spatula measurements, and a digital vibration amplitude display ensure reliable data.
- Advanced imaging: The device uses a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera for precise image data processing.
- Powerful software: The PT-X features high-quality software, including radar charts for data evaluation.
- Compact design: 34 % smaller than conventional models
- Remote support: Optional remote monitoring of the PC measurement screen via the internet provides quick troubleshooting and maintenance support.
