The new ANALYSETTE 28 ImageSizer 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 recognized accurate 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. This makes the ANALYSETTE 28 ImageSizer the perfect measuring instrument for the easy quality control, as well as for research and for laboratory tasks – and it is the fast alternative to sieving.


Fast and Economic Alternative to Sieving
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. Without a preparatory and concluding weighing, assembling the sieve stack and elaborate cleaning. And with substantially reduced follow-up costs, since calibration and initial purchases of sieves are omitted. Additionally, you receive besides the equivalent results about the particle size distribution, also valuable statements about the particle shape. And the presentation of the sieving results conform to standards, is directly included in the FRITSCH-analysis software ISS.

Fast Analysis of Particle Shape and Size

  • Extra wide measuring range 20 μm – 20 mm, individually adaptable
  • High-performance camera with telecentric lenses
  • Extensive library for morphological analysis
  • Practical tools for reliable quality monitoring
  • Fast, simple operation via SOP control
  • Freely editable report generator for individual measurement reports

Strong Lenses – Simple Operation
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.

Optimal Sample Feeding via Conveyance Channel and AutoCheck
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. Your advantage: always the optimum number of particles per image for a reliable and significant analysis.


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

Its position in this cloud shows the really important information for you about the morphology. Here you freely select which conclusions you are interested in: roundness in regards to the minimum Feret diameter, the aspect ratio, applied on the porosity or the convexity as a function of the cross section of the particle. Especially practical: have several measurements displayed simultaneously in a chart and you will immediately recognise the differences between the respective samples. A direct visual evaluation: brilliantly simple, uniquely flexible.


FRITSCH-Plus: Freely configurable Report Generator
For automatically displaying the results clearly arranged on the monitor – optionally as a cloud, as cumulative curve, as bar diagram or in table form. Or simply use the predefined layout according the stipulations of the sieve analysis. The displayed information will be printed however you set it up on your monitor.
