In-line bulk density of powders sensor
In-line bulk density of powders sensor
(OP)
Dear all,
Does anyone of you know manufacturers of in-line measuring systems for density of powders? The powders we produce typically have a density of 30 kg/m3. We want to measure (and control) in-line density.
Many thanks,
CARF

That's a very good question, I realised there is no such thing as in-line density of a powder. I depends on the ratio of the particles to the transport medium.
The off-line measurement gives 30 kg/m3, but that also depends on the bulk stacking. If we transport the powder it may become more compact and dense due to vibrations.
Hmmmm..., any idea's? What else can I typically measure on a powder (particles) to characterize the product?
Thanks for helping,
CARF

If you are just transporting it, pneumatic conveyors work well for powders. Take a look at Premier Pneumatics www.premierpneumatics.com
And rest assured that the Acrison feeder will work in conjunction with the Premier conveyors.
( I am not affiliated with either company, just have had good rapport with both)

E&H and Krohne both have staight through mass meters (not the old school U or Z bends). That should help with the erosion.

There are also microwave based instruments, which I think are intrusive.
