J Engelsmann - Englesmann Jolting Volumeter STAV 11

• Pharmaceutical laboratories use this equipment for quality control of excipients and active pharmaceutical ingredients.
• Food processing facilities utilise it to characterise powders and granulates for product development and consistency.
• Chemical industries employ it for assessing bulk density of catalysts, pigments, and other powdered chemicals.
• Research and development departments use it to study compaction properties of new materials.
• Cosmetics manufacturers apply it for evaluating raw material flowability and packaging efficiency.

Typical capacity

Compatible with measurement cylinders ranging from 10 ml to 1000 ml, with 250 ml commonly supplied.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on standard single-phase laboratory power, often 230V, 50Hz.

Tamping mechanism

Features an adjustable tamping mechanism, allowing customisation of jolting strokes.

Compliance

Supports analysis in line with European Pharmacopoeia, DIN ISO 787 Part 11, ISO 3953, ISO 8967, and ASTM B 527-93.

Footprint

Designed as a compact laboratory instrument, suitable for benchtop placement.

Maintenance

Units of this design are typically straightforward to clean and maintain due to their 'soft design' and accessible components.

• What is the primary function of a Jolting Volumeter?

  Its primary function is to measure the apparent (pre-compaction) and tapped (post-compaction) volumes of bulk materials, enabling the calculation of tamped or tapped density.

• What types of materials can be tested with this equipment?

• Are the measurement cylinders interchangeable?

• Does this unit come with a sound-absorption hood?

• Why is tapped density important?

Particle counters and analysis systems are regarded as essential tools for quality assurance and contamination control across pharmaceutical, biotech and food processing sectors. When purchasing used units, buyers should verify calibration history and optical component condition, as these directly affect measurement accuracy. Industry users value their reliability and precision for meeting regulatory compliance standards. Key strengths include consistent performance across batch testing and minimal maintenance requirements when properly maintained.
