Malvern Instruments Introduces Parsum IPP-80 Probe

March 13, 2015
Probe enables real-time monitoring of agglomeration, coating and granulation processes.

The Parsum IPP-80 probe from Malvern Instruments brings easy-to-integrate inline particle size measurement for efficient process monitoring and control. Suitable for powders, pellets and granules, the probe enables real-time monitoring of agglomeration, coating and granulation processes. The resulting data provide a secure basis for pilot plant studies, process optimization and control. A robust, sanitary design delivers long-running operation with minimal attention and includes in-built self-diagnostic tools that ensure data quality, according to the company.

The Parsum IPP-80 inline probe provides continuous particle size and size distribution data via spatial filter velocimetry. Measuring in the range of 50 µm to 6000 µm, the probe analyzes powders as well as pellets and large granules. Stable optics provide resistantance to the effects of vibration and require no manual alignment. The software includes a range of diagnostic features for measurement verification and self-diagnosis to ensure trouble-free operation and safeguard data quality. The Parsum IPP-80 is specified for environments where hygiene is a priority. It has a sanitary stainless steel design and is ATEX certified for Zone 0/20 operation.
