Discrete Element Modelling with

EDEM is the market-leading software for bulk material simulation

EDEM
Powered by state-of-the-art Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) technology, EDEM quickly and accurately simulates and analyzes the behavior of bulk materials
such as coal, mined ores, soil, tablet, and powders.

Fluidized Beds
Powder Mixing • Couple with Computational Fluid
• Visualize internal flow
Dynamics to simulate particle-fluid
• Identify areas prone to caking
systems accurately
• Detect dead zones and areas of poor mixing
• Assess quality of fluidization
• Identify flow patterns and risk of blockage
• Understand mixing / segregation phenomena
• Assess mixing efficiency

Tablet Coating
• Investigate inter-tablet coating uniformity Powder Spreading and Raking
• Assess mixing in the coating pan in Additive Manufacturing
• Track Residence Time Distribution of tablets in spray zone • Investigate impact of different parameters
• Analyze effect of spray pattern & rate and pan speed & design on quality of powder bed
• Review potential for tablet attrition • Evaluate powder spreading uniformity
• Optimize printer design and set-up

Die Filing
• Analyze fill variability between dies and feeder/screw performance
• Assess effect of various key parameters
• Understand micro-macro dynamics of particles inside the feed frame
• Visualize segregation inside the feed frame & during die filling

Screw Conveyor
• Analyze flow rate of different materials, forces, interactions and wear on equipment
• Optimize unloading
• Provide information on system capacity and power requirements
• Mixing and compression of material
