Bulk and Tapped Density
Bulk density and tapped density measurements are crucial for understanding the flowability, compressibility, and packaging behavior of pharmaceutical powders.
At Particle Analytical, these measurements are performed using the Pharmatest PT-TD – providing insights into powder characteristics like the Hausner Index and Cohesiveness, in accordance with Ph. Eur. 2.2.42.
These measurements are vital for optimizing formulations and ensuring efficient production.
How Particle Analytical can assist with Bulk and Tapped Density
-
Flowability and Compressibility
Determines how well a powder flows and how much it can be compressed, critical for enabling automatic production process of tabletting and capsule filling.
-
Hausner Index and Carr’s Index
Assesses flowability and compressibility, providing insights into cohesiveness and predicting potential processing issues.
-
Cohesiveness
Measures the tendency of powder particles to stick together, impacting powder’s handling, processing, and blending efficiency.
-
Packing Efficiency
Evaluates the powder’s ability to settle and densify, guiding decisions on packaging and material storage.
-
Quality Control Support
Maintains consistency in powder properties across batches, ensuring efficient production and consistent product performance.
-
Data Integrity and Reporting
Provides reliable and traceable documentation of bulk and tapped density data, supporting regulatory requirements and compliance audits.
