Artemis Bulk Density Apparatus: Advanced Apparent Density & Pourability Analysis

Artemis is pleased to introduce our Bulk Density Apparatus, a precision instrument engineered for the comprehensive evaluation of "Apparent Density" and material pourability. Bulk density is a critical extrinsic property defined as the mass of particles per unit volume, including the interstitial spaces they occupy. This measurement is essential for industries handling powders, resins, granules, and mineral components, as density values can fluctuate significantly based on material handling and processing.

The Industrial Significance of Bulk Density

Accurate density data is a prerequisite for operational excellence across several key sectors:

• Logistics & Transportation: Bulk density directly impacts material storage requirements and total transportation costs.

• Engineering & Throughput: Understanding these values is essential for designing efficient processing equipment, helping to determine optimal size, capacity, and material throughput.

• Formulation & Blending: Critical for the food and pharmaceutical sectors, precise density measurements ensure the accurate mixing of ingredients and consistent product quality.

• Storage Optimisation: Knowledge of varying densities allows for superior space utilisation and a minimised storage footprint.

Engineering Specifications & ISO Compliance

Our apparatus is meticulously engineered to meet the rigorous specifications of the ISO 6186 international test standard.

• Versatile Configuration: The system is supplied with three interchangeable nozzles featuring diameters of 10mm, 15mm, and 25mm, making it ideal for ascertaining processability and maintaining stringent process control.

• Advanced Material Science: The funnels are CNC-machined from aluminum and polished internally to ensure smooth flow. An anodized coating is applied to significantly reduce electro-static discharge during testing.

• Integrated Flow Control: The unit is mounted on a robust, stable stand with a dedicated material shut-off mechanism to prevent premature flow prior to testing.

• Complete Testing Suite: The apparatus includes a standard 100cm³ measuring cup for density calculations and an integrated overflow catch tray to collect excess material for re-use in the feedstock.
