Bulk Density Apparatus

Listing ID #3893503

This apparatus is designed to determine the density of powder beds of different pharmaceutical & chemical powders. It is most useful in the field of tablet manufacturing , capsules filling and cosmetics manufacturing. The housing is made of CRCA sheet with attractive duco paint. A motor moves a shaft having clamps at both the ends to hold graduated glass cylinders in an up and down direction at a frequency rate of about 30 strokes per minute through a distance of 5 to 6 cms . The flanged bottom of the glass cylinders stick on a cushion fitted on the platform. A mechanical timer cum stroke counter switch is provided to set the number of strokes upto 450. Suitable for 2 cylinders of 50 ml (supplied without glass cylinder)
Operating instructions
1) Un-screw the knurled rings of the two cylinder holding bracket by turning them in an anti-clockwise direction.
2) Weigh the powder first and then fill it in both 50 ml cylinders ( one cylinder can be used for your standard powder and other one for the test sample )
3) Keep the cylinders on each of the bracket and insert the knurled ring from the top of the cylinder and tighten it gently by turning it till the cylinder is held firmly on the bracket.
4) Connect the three pin plug to 230 V A.C. supply and switch " ON" the main switch. Red neon light will glow indicating that the mains is " ON ".
5) Turn the black knob of the mechanical counter in clockwise direction and set it to the required stroke on the dial. Red neon light will glow indicating that the motor is " ON ".
6) The bracket carrying the 2 cylinders will move up and fall down on the rubber bed with about 30 strokes per minute. The black knob pointer will come to its original position, slowly as the required counts of the strokes are completed and at the same time it will switch "off " the motor and also red neon light.
7) Note down the reading on the cylinders and then calculate the bulk density.
Bulk density = weight
volume
Notice : do not turn the mechanical counter knob in anti-clockwise direction , if done, it will damage the regulator.
