The pourability of ARBOCEL® products!
JRS cellulose products come in various shapes and structures.
For their customers, it is not only essential, to receive excellent functionality in their applications, but also to understand how they can incorporate the fibers in their production lines.
In large scale processes, parameters like pourability, dust and bridging tendencies need to be considered.
JRS Pharma’s video demonstrates what difference in bulk and particle shape really looks like!
From left to right: Long fibers vs shorter fibers vs powder vs ‘broken’ granules vs granules:
| Grade | Average Particle Size by Laser Diffraction (µm) | Bulk Density (g/mL) | Main Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| ARBOCEL® A300 | 320 | 0.31 – 0.41 | Coarse grade with excellent flow properties used in direct compression and for capsule fillings. |
| ARBOCEL® M80 | 55 | 0.20 – 0.24 | Fine, fibrous grade, suitable for wet granulation. |
| ARBOCEL® P290 | 75 | 0.27 – 0.33 | Fine grade with increased density and improved flow. Suitable for wet granulation and direct compression. |
