Toshiba toner production aided by
Malvern Insitec
Information from the Toshiba plant in Dieppe highlights the value of on-line particle size measurement in toner production, and details the Toshiba experience with a Malvern Insitec analyser
The Insitec system from Malvern Instruments is a fully automated on-line laser diffraction-based analyser The Toshiba adoption of this on-line technology has delivered a throughput increase of 1%, a reduction in over-grinding, steadier mill operation and a significant decrease in the amount of operator time dedicated to routine analysis

New application for Insitec on-line particle sizer
The success of a novel process interface that provides Arciblansa with on-line particle size analysis has demonstrated the effectiveness of laser diffraction technology in wet process applications
Two Insitec systems operate at Toshiba Dieppe and a third is planned.
The trend within the toner industry is towards products with a smaller particle size.
This is driving the need for increasingly tight control of the energy-intensive milling processes in production.
It is also making conventional off-line analytical techniques that involve sample dispersion, such as the Coulter counter, more time-consuming.
The Insitec is a well-established robust particle sizing solution for both wet and dry processes.
At its heart lies powerful laser diffraction technology developed and refined by Malvern Instruments over the last 30 years.
Sampling and dispersion form an integral part of the Insitec package, which provides a reliable, proven industrially relevant option for sectors as diverse as powder coatings manufacture and cement production. Request a free brochure from Malvern Instruments ...
