Summary
Mobile particle size analyzer for processes including mills, classifiers, spray driers and atomizers for :
- Real-time on-line particle size data
Move the analyzer to multiple locations in the process plant for real-time process optimization and process verification with continuous sampling
- At-line analysis
Measure different samples manually with all the analytical power of the QC laboratory available on the plant floor
Insitec provides robust, reliable on-line particle size analyzer for dry powder applications.
- Voyager
Combines an Insitec T dry powder analyzer, all the necessary measurement electronics and a process interface in a single compact system. Use of tri-clamping and 316L stainless steel allows easy cleaning to pharmaceutical standards.
Voyager additionally incorporates an automation interface (PLC plus SCADA application software) for complete standalone operation and automated data reporting.

Process Interface
|
Robust, repeatable and representative sampling is the key to good measurement, making the process interface a critical part of the Insitec.
Each process interface is easily automated to minimize operator intervention.
Continuous sampling:- Continuous on-line particle sizing in bulk powders with mass flows from 1kg/h to 500t/h
- Eductor interface contains no moving parts, delivers the powder correctly dispersed continuously to the instrument, and is easily automated to minimize operator intervention
- Choice of eductors for customized applications, including for abrasive, fragile and cohesive materials
- Dry flow cell technology has successful track record since 1994 in industrial processes. Range of available flowcell path lengths
- Range of process interfaces allow sampling directly in-line, on-line using eductor, or special samplers such as screw augers
- Purge keeps windows clean from dust, minimizing routine maintenance
- 10 bar max operating pressure capability

| Laser diffraction - Established sensor technology |
The proven laser diffraction technology at the heart of the Insitec system is now the standard in most particulate processing industries and has been pioneered and developed by Malvern for more than 35 years. Its robustness has allowed implementation in the Insitec sensor in such a way that it copes easily with the rigors and demands of an industrial process environment. The sensor's changeable lenses allow the tuning of the instrument resolution to the needs of the process.

|
| A rugged industrial solution |
Malvern Insitec systems are designed from the outset for industrial use. Their rugged construction and robust technology reflect the exacting demands placed on analytical instrumentation that is in continuous use in a process environment. Capable of taking scattering patterns every second and delivering the particle size distribution in real-time, an Insitec can make more than a million measurements every year. The instrument, the process interface, analysis software, automation and data reporting can all be customized to the unique needs of individual clients.
Please Note: Due to our policy of continuous improvement specifications are subject to change.
