The Camsizer from Retsch Technology is designed to analyse the particle shape and size of dry bulk materials ranging from 30 µm to 30mm.
For quality assurance purposes it is sometimes vital to detect differences in the particle shape of different charges as it may have a huge influence on certain product characteristics, such as flow behaviour or abrasion, and can therefore help to draw conclusions on flaws in the production process.
To determine the particle size and shape reliably and reproducibly, digital image analysis is most often the method of choice.
The Camsizer offers a unique, patented two-camera system it records up to 10,000 particles per second, with a dynamic size range.
It reliably detects defective or broken particles as well as differences in the particle shape, such as agglomerations.
The measurement results are evaluated and displayed in real time, the average measurement time is less than 3 minutes.
It features a single frame analysis together with the automated image recording: The particle size and shape parameters of manually selected, individual particles can be displayed and compared.
Analysis parameters:
- Elongation; aspect- or width-/length-ratio
- Convexity
- Roundness
