Measure Particle Shape and Size with Dynamic Image Analysis

The new ANALYSETTE 28 ImageSizer from Fritsch is the ideal instrument for analysis of particle shape and size of dry, free-flowing powders and bulk solids in a measuring range from 20 µm to 20 mm. Via the optical analysis of particle shape and particle size, damaged particles, contaminates, agglomerates or oversized or undersized particles are identified accurately and fast, and can be viewed as single images. At the same time, the instrument offers a fast and efficient particle size measurement. The measuring time, depending on the sample quantity, is below 5 minutes and the result is available immediately.

If you perform many and frequent sieve analyses, the ANALYSETTE 28 ImageSizer is the ideal, time-saving alternative in just three motions: add the sample, start the measurement, read the result. You receive the equivalent results about the particle size distribution as well as valuable statements about the particle shape. The presentation of the sieving results conforming to standards is directly included in the ISS Fritsch-analysis software.

The core of the ANALYSETTE 28 ImageSizer is a 5 megapixel camera, which assures highest resolution even with smallest particles. The telecentric lenses guarantee images of each individual particle absolutely free of distortions and always in the same reproduction scale, no matter where it is located in the measurement volume.

The U-shaped cross section of the conveyance channel ensures a good material flow. The included sample guiding plates guarantee that the sample material even at a rapid conveyance rate drops into the falling chute at the optimum depth of field of the lens. The AutoCheck function displays the particle concentration and therefore the ideal feed rate of the sample on the conveyance channel.

Even evaluation of the measuring results is uniquely simple with the ANALYSETTE 28. The ISS analysis software shows each captured particle clearly as a data point in the cloud-shaped Fritsch-Cloud.
