Malvern Instruments' white paper, Driving Towards Manufacturing Excellence: 10 reasons to adopt on-line particle size analysis, explores how automated real-time measurement supports the attainment of manufacturing goals, including improved product quality, reduced waste, increased throughput, and lower energy consumption. Part of Malvern’s Inform series, this paper can be downloaded from http://www.malvern.com/malvern/kbase.nsf/allbyno/KB002638/$file/MRK1447-01.pdf.
The Insitec range of on- and in-line particle size analyzers from Malvern is said to provide real-time measurement for both wet and dry process streams with particles in the size range 0.1 to1000 microns. Up to four complete particle-size distributions are measured every second.
