PARTICLE ANALYZER CAMSIZER XT Certified calibration standard Recalibrating the CAMSIZER XT is a matter of seconds with the help of a highly precise (±0,1 µm) reference object, made by electron beam lithography, which simulates differently sized particles. This allows fully traceable and verifyable calibration and calibration status recording. The patented measurement principle sample ﬂow basic camera zoom camera The patented measurement principle is fairly simple: Dispersed particles pass in front of two bright, pulsed LED light sources. The shadows of the particles are captured with two...

PARTICLE ANALYZER CAMSIZER XT Modular design for optimum measurement conditions Air pressure dispersion Gravity dispersion Wet dispersion Basic instrument The CAMSIZER XT’s “X-Change” system offers three alternative dispersion methods, allowing the selection of the optimum method for each sample type. Plug-in cartridge Measurement system X-Jet Air pressure dispersion X-Dry The modules/plug-in cartridges are easily exchanged in one minute allowing for a comfortable switching between dispersion methods. Watch the video on www.retschtechnology.com/camsizerxt to see how easily the “X-Change”...

PARTICLE ANALYZER CAMSIZER XT Gravity Dispersion with “X-Fall” Measuring range from 10 µm to 3 mm feed hopper gravity plug-in cartridge feed chute Pourable, not agglomerated samples can be analyzed by using the “X-Fall” plug-in cartridge. In this mode the particles fall from the chute through the field of view of the two cameras accelerated by gravity. Thanks to the comparably low speed of the particles, the large field of view and the high frame rate, the detection efficiency is very high, even for large particles of e. g. 3 mm. Only a few coarser particles in the sample are sufficient for...

The graphic shows a comparison between three differently ground coffee powder samples. The red curve represents a narrow size distribution while the green curve shows a much larger amount of over- and undersized...

Particle shape analysis Example: Catalysts Non-spherical, broken catalyst balls can be detected by looking at parameters like the aspect ratio (width divided by length of each particle, b/l) or the symmetry. The graphic shows a series of measurements with increasing amounts of broken particles. The original material is almost perfectly round, with b/l values above 0.95 (red curve). After each treatment with ultrasound the amount of broken particles increases. The amount of broken particles can be derived directly from the graph at the threshold value of b/l equal 0.95. A picture of the...

PARTICLE ANALYZER CAMSIZER XT Reliable detection of oversized particles X-Dry with X-Jet Example: PMMA micro beads Relative frequency Particle size The CAMSIZER XT features the latest camera technology with high frame rates and high resolution 16-bit grayscale images, to detect as many particles as possible in the shortest time. The graphic shows the comparison of two samples with different amounts of oversized particles. Sample 2 (red) contains more oversized particles at 20 microns than sample 1 (0.2%). The detection efficiency for small amounts of oversized particles is much better with...
