Particle size, count and shape
measurement system
PS Prozesstechnik is to display their new XPT XenParTec particle size, count and shape measurement system family at Powtech 2005, with other powder analysis equipment
XPT XenParTec is a particle size, count and shape analyser based on real time image analysis with the XPT programme XPT-C is a system with flow-through cells and can be used in lab and on-line in the process

The elaborate software package has many options and additional to normal particle size analysis for example allows counting of particles depending on shape (application: fibre contamination detection), brightness differentiation (black-spec detection) or tracking of shape change in process.
The system can also perform series measurements initiated by external signals coming from a production process and can trigger events depending on measurement results.
The software is compatible with 21 CFR Part ll.
XPT-C-C has another unique feature: the ability to fill suspensions in vials by counting the particles and starting and stopping pumps to have defined number of particles and liquid volume.
One application is filling of encapsulated products.
XPT-P are probe based systems using the same software but inserted directly in process streams like suspensions, emulsion, bubbles, foams or powders and granulates.
Direct in-process information is provided.
Images can be saved singly, or in a movie, and real time image analysis and trending is featured.
Other products that PS Prozesstechnik will present at Powtech are: ShearScan, the fully automated shear tester for measurement of flowability of powders under a defined load.
Anatec - PartAn, FPA, and DustMon measurement instruments for powder analysis (size, shape and dust monitoring).
