More precise and faster analysis of particle size and shape
T
he quality control of fine powders can be substantially improved with the new Camsizer X2. More precise and faster analysis of particle size and particle shape helps to improve the product quality, reduce rejects and save labour costs, energy and raw materials. The design of the Camsizer X2 is based on the well-proven optical particle measurement system Camsizer but is optimised for finer samples (from 0.8µm to 8mm). Not only the improved optical resolution, but also new options for material feeding, allow for an extended application range. Fine particles tend to agglomerate, which makes it difficult to record the properties of a single particle. It is therefore important to have various possibilities of feeding the sample to the analysis area, in order to find the optimum between the desired dispersion of the agglomerates and the undesired destruction of the individual particle for each material. The Camsizer X2 offers the flexible X-Change system: from the X-Fall module (free fall mode), which is the most gentle method for the material, to the X-Jet module with adjustable
pressure and variable nozzle geometry and, additionally, the X-Flow module in which particles are dispersed in liquids, optionally by an ultrasonic probe. Product advantages: Digital image processing with patented two-camera-system (acc. to ISO 13322-2) • Wide dynamic measuring ranges from 0.8µm to 8mm (extended measuring ranges available) • Newly developed optical system with ultra-strong LEDs for highest resolution and excellent depth of sharpness • Reliable detection of smallest amounts of ‘undersize’ and ‘oversize’ • Very short measurement time of one to three minutes • Modular system X-Change for dry and wet dispersion • Measurement results are 100% compatible to sieve analysis if required

Fast and precise element analysis in organic sample materials
E
LTRA‘s CS-580 is the ideal analyser for the simultaneous determination of carbon and sulphur in organic samples. Thanks to sample weights from 200mg or more, even inhomogeneous materials can be reliably analysed. The temperature of the powerful horizontal resistance furnace with ceramic combustion tube can be set to a maximum of 1 550°C with a working temperature of 1 350°C, ideal to burn any organic samples. The analyser can be equipped with a maximum of four independent infrared cells according to the user‘s requirements, allowing for a great variety of applications. Application examples Ashes, building materials, coal, coke, gypsum, limestone, oil, plant materials, rubber, sand, soils, soot, tobacco, waste and more. Product advantages • Simultaneous carbon and sulphur determination with minimal sample preparation • Wide range of organic materials can be analysed • Rapid, precise, accurate and reliable element determination • Resistance furnace can be set up to 1 550°C in steps of 1°C • Customised infrared cells provide
