Ensuring the consistent quality of granulated materials is critical for many industries, including food and pharmaceutical production. At Cell Instruments, we understand the importance of precise granule hardness test procedures to maintain product integrity, extend shelf life, and reduce manufacturing costs.
For a leading supplier of silage additives, testing the hardness of potassium sorbate granules is essential. This additive must maintain its physical form during blending and storage to provide the intended benefits in silage treatment.
A reliable granule hardness test verifies that potassium sorbate granules meet strict quality standards. Accurate hardness data supports improved process control and more cost-effective manufacturing.
To address these challenges, Cell Instruments offers a software-controlled test system based on a succulometer. The succulometer features a robust cylindrical vessel and a precise plunger that applies compressive force to a set weight of granules.
Using this method, a 20 g sample of granules is compressed under 2400 N to a predetermined displacement, repeated 20 times per batch. This approach ensures statistically sound, repeatable data for comprehensive comparison and quality evaluation.
· Ease of use: Automated testing streamlines operations, requiring minimal operator input.
· Repeatability: Consistent results are achieved with the succulometer’s precise plunger system.
· Graphical analysis: The system displays hardness data as a displacement curve area, providing clear insights for process improvements.
Cell Instruments combines technical expertise with user-focused solutions to meet your material testing needs.
For professionals and quality control managers in food production and related industries, implementing a robust granule hardness test system is essential for safeguarding product performance and process efficiency.
