Bulk Density Apparatus

Bulk DensityApparatus is testing equipment used to determine the bulk density of powder, granules, and other divided solids, particularly mineral components, chemical substances, plastics such as polyethylene, pvc, and polystyrene, or foodstuffs and any other masses of granular or specific matter. The Bulk Density Apparatus is a microprocessor-based instrument that studies the packing down of powder beds of various pharmaceutical and chemical powders and provides accurate and repeatable results. Bulk Density is a critical test that must be performed during the tablet manufacturing, capsule filling, and cosmetics manufacturing processes.

It is defined as the mass of a large number of material particles divided by the total volume they occupy. Particle volume, inter-particle void volume, and internal pore volume are all included in the total volume. Bulk density is not a material's inherent property; it can change depending on how the material is handled. A powder poured into a cylinder, for example, will have a specific bulk density; if the cylinder is disturbed, the powder particles will move and usually settle closer together, resulting in a higher bulk density. As a result, the bulk density of powders is usually reported as "freely settled" (or "poured") density as well as "tapped" density.

Uses of Bulk Density Apparatus:

Here are some uses of bulk density apparatus which are given below:

• This equipment is used for the packing down of powder beds of various pharmaceuticals.
• This bulk density apparatus is used during tablet manufacturing.
• It is also used in the cosmetic manufacturing processes.
• In capsule filling bulk density apparatus is used for greater accuracy. 
• This is also used for measuring the bulk density property of the powder.

Working Principle of Bulk Density Apparatus:

The sample volume is determined by loading the loose bulk powder into a graduated measuring cylinder. Attach the measuring cylinder to the tapped assembly. Move the bottom of the tapped assembly through an eccentric gear at the frequency and height specified by international standards, causing the measuring cylinder to vibrate up and down. The volume of powder in the measuring cylinder can be reduced to varying degrees depending on its physical properties. The sample tapped density can be calculated by dividing the mass of the sample by the volume after it has been tapped.
