August 4, 2009 - The Insitec Cement LabSizer from Malvern Instruments delivers consistent particle size measurements within the challenging environment of cement plant laboratories. Offering high performance for large volume dry powder samples it is especially suitable for the fully automated laboratories that are common within the industry. The new instrument extends Malvern’s range of laser diffraction particle sizing systems for off-,on- and at-line cement analysis.Characterizing particle size and size distribution (PSD) by laser diffraction offers a cost-effective, accurate and highly robust method of determining cement quality and strength.
By enabling milling to tighter specifications, laser diffraction both increases throughput and reduces manufacturing costs while leading to a more consistent final product.Insitec Cement LabSizer uses a highly versatile modular design, making it compatible with any customer set-up. With tool-free access to both the sample feeder and measurement cell, and having minimal maintenance requirements, the Cement LabSizer is easy to operate. Additionally, while many automated laboratory instruments necessitate control of sample quantity, the Cement LabSizer can measure samples from 5 g to more than 150 g.Malvern’s laser diffraction systems combine advanced technology with a highly dependable protocol for routine particle sizing measurements.
Delivering the results required to optimize processing and reduce over-grinding, these systems have been shown to pay for themselves in as little as six months.
