Particle Size Analyzers for Granulators

Automatic granulator process control and on-line QC place high demands on the uptime performance of a particle size analyzer, and all Malvern systems are designed from the outset for process use. Key to their success is the ability to be installed almost anywhere, thanks to strong interfacing capabilities, both to the process and to the control system.

• Highly robust high speed instruments
• Hygienic fittings to ensure ease of cleaning between production batches of entire sample path
• Range of options for use in a diverse range of industries from minerals to pharmaceutical / GAMP4 environments

The particle size analyzers are used for optimizing and continually monitoring particle size in granulators. Malvern works with a range of partners who supply plant equipment and recommend the use of Malvern analyzers in their processes.

Below is a table outlining the different analysis solutions available:
