Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document discusses the importance of in-line particle measurement in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries, where particle size and distribution are critical for process control and product quality. In-line measurement offers real-time data, enhancing process efficiency, safety, and product consistency.

Benefits of In-line Particle Measurement
  • Improves process understanding and efficiency.
  • Reduces processing times and waste.
  • Enables quick detection and correction of process deviations.
  • Enhances safety and minimizes risks.
  • Increases process utilization while maintaining product quality.
  • Improves product reproducibility and consistency.
  • Accelerates process scale-up and reduces time to market.

Measurement Principle
The Parsum probe uses a patented spatial filter technique with a laser and light-sensitive detectors to measure particle size and velocity. It provides real-time particle size distribution data, allowing for process performance insights.

Parsum Inline Particle Measurement-2

Our offer Just under three quarters of all materials processed in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries are present as dry powders or granules. As a result, in many processing steps the particle size and size distribution is one of the most important material characteristics. Whereas conventional laboratory analysis is designed to determine the particle size in order to obtain information regarding the quality of end products and intermediates, in-line particle size measurement provides the direct, real time data on the performance of a manufacturing process that is often decisive...
