Predict Powder Flowability
Before You Measure It

From particle size distribution to flow function coefficient in seconds. Physics-informed deep learning replaces weeks of shear cell testing.

The Problem

Powder flowability is critical to pharmaceutical manufacturing, yet measuring it is slow, expensive, and impossible for blends that don't exist yet.

Slow Testing

Shear cell measurements take 30-60 minutes per sample. Screening dozens of formulations can take weeks.

Material Waste

Each shear cell test consumes grams of expensive API or excipient that may be in limited supply during early development.

No Blend Screening

You cannot predict how a new blend will flow without physically making it. Computational screening of blend ratios is not possible with traditional methods.

The Solution

Powmetrix combines a Bond Number physics model with a convolutional neural network trained on real shear cell data. Input a particle size distribution; receive a flow function coefficient (FFC) with confidence intervals.

1

PSD Input

Enter d10, d50, d90 percentiles or provide a full particle size distribution

2

Physics + CNN

Bond Number model provides a physics baseline; ResNet CNN learns residual corrections

3

FFC Prediction

Flow function coefficient with confidence interval and flowability risk classification

Features

Single Material Prediction

Instant FFC prediction from particle size percentiles or full PSD data with Monte Carlo uncertainty quantification.

Blend Composition Sweeps

Predict flowability across binary blend ratios. Visualize the FFC landscape before making a single blend.

Multi-Component Blends

Build formulations from your material library. Adjust weight fractions and predict blend flowability in real time.

Organization Library

Shared material database with role-based access. Your entire team works from the same validated data.

Validation

Measured vs. predicted FFC for 33 pharmaceutical excipients. Each point represents the average of triplicate shear cell measurements compared against the model prediction from PSD data alone.
