New Enhancements to Malvern’s Insitec L Particle Size Analyzer

Working in conjunction with mineral and metallurgical processing specialists Outotec, Malvern Instruments has introduced a new version of the Insitec L particle size analyzer which has been engineered for extra ruggedness in order to meet increasingly demanding applications and to reduce maintenance to the absolute minimum.

Using laser diffraction to measure particles from 0.1 to 2500 microns, the new Insitec L incorporates a unique telephoto lens that has both extended the measurement range and brings improved stability and rugged optical alignment, as well as greater vibration tolerance, temperature robustness, and reduced space requirement, without compromising measurement quality at lower size limits.

Insitec L uses the proven technology of laser diffraction for particle size measurement. Implemented in a range of Malvern systems, this rapid and non-destructive particle sizing technique is used to measure dry powder streams, emulsions, slurries and sprays. Fully automated systems for on-plant use, exemplified by the Insitec range, incorporate sample preparation hardware and data management software to streamline integration within the process. By measuring particle size at a sufficiently high frequency to capture process changes in fine detail this technology enables better manual operation and opens up a route to automated process control.
