BEP2 Powder Flowability Tester

Item Description

The widespread use of powders in the preparation of dosage forms such as tablets and capsules in the pharmaceutical industry has led to a study of test methods for efficient measuring of powder flow and density with reference to the USP <1174> and Ph. Eur. 2.9.36.

These two pharmacopeal standards list four well-defined methods for powder testing proposed to bring some degree of test methodology standardisation, which the Copley BEP2 powder flowability tester makes the right fit for analysis of these test paramters:

  • Flow through an orifice
  • Angle of repose
  • Shear cell
  • Compressibility index and Hausner ratio
Standard Features

Simulating the actual production manufacturing processes, the BEP2 provides multiple configurations to mimic the to flow from a container, such as a funnel or cylindrical attachment or its compressibility in forming a tablet as means to objectify the degree of flowability in the production hopper.

Optional Features
  • Comprehensive IQ/OQ/PQ documentation
  • Cylinder Attachment and Balance/Timer Attachments
  • Funnel Attachment and Balance/Timer Attachments
  • Funnel and Shear Cell Attachments
  • Funnel and Angle of Repose Attachments
  • Anti-Static Grounding Kit for BEP2
  • Qualification Tools
