Product news

A new brochure from Malvern® Instruments gives a complete overview of the company’s comprehensive range of particle size analyzers for the process environment.

With options for wet or dry streams, for at, on- or in-line analysis, Malvern process systems deliver real-time continuous measurement for almost any particulate process in the size range 0.3–1000 microns. Well-established across many industrial sectors these particle size analyzers are robust and reliable, delivering exceptional performance with little maintenance. Fixed and mobile options extend the flexibility of the range.

Process-based analysis, and in particular continuous real-time monitoring, allows improved process control, delivering economic benefits by reducing waste, improving throughput and enhancing product quality.

Insitec systems are now standard in most particulate processing industries including toners, pharmaceuticals, cement, pigments, powder coatings and metal powders. Payback times are low – typically in the order of six months to one year. All instruments are supplied with the Malvern® LINK software package, facilitating operation and integrating the analyzer with existing control platforms.

Process ChemistryProcess chemistry is an important stage of drug development for scaling-up drug production or chemical synthesis reactions. It is useful for optimizing economical and efficient drug production. Process chemistry uses reactors and pump systems as well as reagents, standards and buffers.Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters.
