HOSOKAWA MICRON ANNOUNCE NEW DISTRIBUTORSHIP AGREEMENT
Xoptix Ltd of Malvern, Worcestershire, United Kingdom, Hosokawa Alpine AG and Hosokawa Micron Ltd have entered into an exclusive distributorship arrangement for the Optisizer dry particle size analyser types X001P/X002P/X003P and future developments in Europe, UK and Ireland and the Middle East.
This new and cost effective in-line particle size analyser allows Hosokawa Micron to expand its range of advanced control systems including Plexcontrol, intelligent monitoring and Intellimill applications to customers, particularly those in the food, chemical, minerals and metals markets.
Available in three standard modules, X001P for measuring particles conveyed in air from 0.5 to 220 microns, the X002P covers the range 1.2 to 550 microns and the X003P covers 2.5 to 1100 microns. All three compact and rugged products are designed to ISO 13320 and feature innovative design incorporating high stability lasers, the best optics and the highest specification custom designed detectors found in any in-process sizer today.
Using established laser diffraction technology the Optisizer presents fast, reliable, reproducible and easy to interpret particle size distribution data. The ability to measure particle size distribution on line, real time, in any production process allows engineers to quickly assess the effects of any process change on the finished product. However the cost of this has until now often been prohibitive but the Optisizer changes this and brings this valuable information gathering process within many operating budgets. Data gathered from the Optisizer can be automatically fed into any plant control system to allow for optimum process control.
The benefits of in-process sampling over manual sampling offer significant production advantages including maximising product throughput, optimisation of process stability, lower energy consumption and reduced instances of waste or reject product.
