Compared to previous CAMSIZER models the CAMSIZER 3D features a significantly higher camera resolution and frame rate by employing a ZOOM camera with 9 megapixels and a BASIC camera with 5 megapixels at a frame rate of up to 250 fps. This allows superior image quality and particle detection, for all coarse and fine samples. Broad and narrow distributions are measured with the same accuracy and precision. The image width of the ZOOM camera is the same as that of the BASIC camera, which ensures excellent reproducibility of the measurement results within a short measurement time. MEASUREMENT...

APPLICATIONS Many properties of bulk solids, such as flowability, dissolution behavior, filtering properties, reactivity, abrasiveness or even taste are decisively influenced by the particle size. Therefore, the determination of particle size distributions is widely used in many sectors and industries and is routinely employed for quality control. The time-consuming and error-prone sieve analysis is still widely used but is increasingly being replaced by dynamic image analyzers of the CAMSIZER series. High sample throughput, robustness and automation capability of this technique ensure...

PRECISE LENGTH MEASUREMENT EXTRUDATES With the patented 3D particle measurement, the length distribution of extrudates can be dePercent by volume (%) termined accurately. A rod-shaped ceramic extrudate with a length of 6-8 mm was measured in 3D mode, in 2D mode and with a caliper. The result shows that the 3D length corresponds to the result of the caliper, but the 2D length gives a distribution that is “too short”. Thus, the 3D im- age analysis is as accurate as the caliper measurement but characterizes a significantly larger number of particles in a fraction of the time. IDENTIFICATION OF...
