High quality and reliable results - from the lab to the crop fields.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Particle size distribution analysis of particulate systems.

The equipment generates high quality results, improving the development of our products for pesticide spray drift reduction in the field. The fine tunning of our formulations was only possible to be performed after the usage of this equipament, based on the reliable results obtained in the fast and accurate runs. Not only the formulations, but also the recommended dosage of our adjuvants was optimized in a tailor made basis for each one of the chellenges faced by the farmers in the field. Easy use, fast and reliable results. That's it.

Particle Size Distribution

This instrument has been wonderful to use. It has lasted for years and years, giving consistent reliable results. The support offered by the New Jersey, USA office has been second to none. I have never worked with a more responsive vendor. If we are having issues, they typically have a technician on-site within a couple days of contacting them, and have always resolved the issue.

The proven HELOS laser diffraction series — with its classical parallel laser diffraction set-up deploying a parallel beam — offers a powerful technology for reliable particle size distribution analysis of powders, granules, suspensions, emulsions, sprays and aerosols and numerous other particulate systems. A size range from below 0.1 µm to 8,750 µm is mastered. The modular system design, together with a great variety of dispersing and dosing units, provides a flexible adaptation to the most diverse industrial and research applications.

In the early 1980s, Sympatec introduced a breakthrough innovation which was leading laser diffraction to another dimension: dry powder dispersion for even the finest, cohesive powders came true with RODOS. And with the R series of our laser diffraction sensor HELOS new benchmarks for precision and accuracy have been achieved. Latest improvements comprise enhanced application of parameter-free Fraunhofer evaluation down to the submicron regime (below 1 µm), the greatest measuring signal frequency for best resolution with range combination technology and more powerful evaluation modes (Fraunhofer & Mie).
