The new CAMSIZER XT provides particle size and shape distribution analysis needed for the quality control of fine powders and suspensions.
The design of the CAMSIZER XT is based on the well-proven dynamic image analysis system CAMSIZER but is optimized for finer samples (from 1 µm to 3 mm). Both improved optical resolution and new options for material feeding allow for an extended application range. A range of sample presentation devices feed the sample to the measurement zone and provide the desired dispersion energy in order to de-agglomerate the sample without breaking individual particles. The CAMSIZER XT offers the flexible X-Change system: the X-Fall module (free fall mode), which is the most gentle method for the material, the X-Jet module with adjustable pressure and variable nozzle geometry, and the X-Flow module in which particles are dispersed in liquids, optionally by ultrasound.
Industries and applications benefiting from size and shape analysis by the CAMSIZER XT include fine powders such as sand, abrasives, food, polymers, crushed glass, building materials, metal and ore powders, and pharmaceutical powders/granules. Measurement time is ~ 1 to 3 min depending on the desired measuring statistics. Reported result parameters include smallest diameter, length, mean diameter, aspect ratio, symmetry, sphericity, and convexity. Results can easily and accurately match historic results from other techniques (sieves, microscopy, diffraction) with the appropriate selection of result parameters and automated software features.
