Using the HAVER® DEAERATION TESTER, the aeration and deaeration characteristics of powder,
micro-granular, gritty and blended products can be determined.
In addition the product's air flow-through resistance is assessed. Using a defined air
pressure, the instrument can simulate air flow in both the packing machine and in the silo.
Many parameters can be determined by this test unit and their interactions can be assessed:
- air pressure (mbar) = manometer
- air quantity (l/min) = air quantity gauge
- air intake due to changes in product volume (cm^3) = graduated measuring column
Area of application:
- Products that are conveyed in a fluidized state and for which the bulk material properties
and aeration characteristics must be determined, e.g. in:
- silo systems
- filling systems
- production
The following speak for product quality:
- optimized filling process through energy efficient product flow in an aerated conveying
system
- determine the interaction between the air retention capability and the ability to flow
- simulate product fluidization during the filling process
- optimized aeration (amount and method)
- determining the minimum fluidization air amount
- time-dependent pressure drop
- quality control
- determining the aeration behavior
- easy cleaning
- removable measurement column
- automatic monitoring and recording of measurement data on a PC (optional)
Additional components:
- exhaust hood with suction line
- exhaust filter with de-dusting
- PC interface including software
