Insitec can be tailored for specific applications
The flexible design of the Insitec LPS wet process particle size analyser from Malvern Instruments is enabling the system to be tailored for specific process applications
Designed for continuous industrial use at-line or on-line, the Insitec LPS can accurately and reproducibly measure a very wide range of process streams, from highly concentrated mineral slurries through to lipid emulsions.
Each component of the system - sampler, pre-diluter, cascade diluter, measurement cell, and software - can be individually tailored to the process, ensuring that even the most challenging applications can be tackled effectively.
The Insitec LPS sampler extracts 2.5 ml liquid slugs from the full pipe section.
There is never any cessation of sample flow, thus avoiding blockages.
The process interface is designed for high pressure (where necessary) and for easy installation and maintenance.
The Insitec LPS pre-diluter and cascade diluter work together to bring the sample to an optimal concentration for analysis whilst avoiding dilution shock.
These components have few moving parts, are self-cleaning and designed to minimise diluent consumption.
Consistent dilution is achieved efficiently with no manual intervention.
At the heart of the Insitec LPS is the Malvern proven and industrially rugged Insitec laser diffraction-based particle size analyser.
With abrasion-resistant, self-cleaning sapphire windows, and a purge to prevent condensation, this is an analyser designed for 24/7 operation.
It requires no calibration and little maintenance.
The data produced are presented using established Malvern Link and RTSizer data handling systems.
Integration with existing control platforms is straightforward, and so is customised data presentation. Request a free brochure from Malvern Instruments ...
