Artemis Bulk Density Apparatus (ISO R60): Enhanced Flow Characterization
Artemis is pleased to introduce our Bulk Density Apparatus, a precision instrument designed for the evaluation of "Apparent Density" in challenging particulate materials. Bulk density is a critical extrinsic property defined as the mass of particles per unit volume, including the interstitial space between them.
This apparatus is specifically engineered for powders, granules, and flakes that exhibit poor flow characteristics or "caking" tendencies, which would typically obstruct standard testing funnels.
The Industrial Significance of Bulk Density
Accurate density data is a prerequisite for operational excellence across multiple sectors:

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

• Engineering & Throughput: Precise measurements are essential for designing efficient processing equipment, helping to determine the appropriate size, capacity, and material throughput.

• Formulation & Blending: Critical for the food and pharmaceutical sectors, bulk density ensures the accurate mixing of ingredients and consistent final product quality.

• Storage Optimization: Knowledge of varying material densities allows for superior space utilization and a minimized storage footprint.

Engineering Specifications & Standards Compliance
Our apparatus is engineered to meet the rigorous specifications of the ISO R60 and ASTM D1895 (Appendix)international test standards.

• Optimized Funnel Design: Features a wide 3.3 cm outlet bore, making it ideal for testing materials that fail to flow through Method A funnels, such as large flakes or granules exceeding 3 mm.

• Advanced Material Science: Funnels are CNC-machined from aluminum, polished internally for smooth flow, and finished with an anodized coating to significantly reduce electro-static discharge.

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

• Complete Testing Suite: The system includes a standard 100 cm³ measuring cup and a specialized overflow catch tray, allowing excess material to be neatly scraped and returned to the feedstock for re-use.
