PARTICLE SIZE AND SHAPE ANALYZER [CAMSIZER] :

PRINCIPAL: The CAMSIZER XT is an advancement of the well-

proven optical measurement system CAMSIZER for fi ner
samples. It not only features newly developed optics with a
higher resolution but also enhanced options for sample
feeding. Fine particles tend to agglomerate which makes it
diffi cult to detect the geometric dimensions of each
individual particle. It is therefore benefi cial to have various
possibilities of feeding the sample to the measurement area,
fi nding for each material the best way to separate the
agglomerates without destroying the primary particles. The
CAMSIZER XT provides fl exible solutions: from the free fall
mode, which is the most gentle method for the material, to
air pressure dispersion with adjustable pressure and variable
nozzle geometry and, additionally, a wet module in which
particles are dispersed in liquids, optionally by an ultrasonic
probe.

WORKING :
1. Two cameras operate simultaneously during
measurement: the BASIC camera (blue)
analyzes the larger particles, the ZOOM
camera (red) captures the small particles. This
procedure ensures optimum measurement
conditions for all particle sizes in a
distribution.
2. The X-Jet module disperses the sample via a
Venturi nozzle and is suitable for the effective
analysis of powders. The actual measurement
of the particles takes place in the air stream.
Dispersion pressure may be set between 0
kPa and 460 kPa. This ensures optimum
analysis conditions for all sample types.
3. CAMSIZER X2 also offers the option to analyze
particles in liquids with the X-Flow module.
The suspension flows in a closed circle
through a glass cell where the cameras
record the particle images. The integrated
ultrasonic unit further aids in the dispersion
process.
