Summary
The Insitec Pharma Voyager combines the Insitec T dry powder analyzer, all necessary measurement electronics, cabling and pneumatics in a compact mobile system with a human machine interface (HMI). The Pharma Voyager is ideal for pilot plant operation or process analytical technology (PAT) research where mobility, cleanability, and ease of operation are required. The Voyager can be easily moved to production at any point as it is designed for the plant environment.
Mobile particle sizer unit for processes including mills, classifiers, spray driers and atomizers for :
- On-line real-time 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 sizing for dry powder applications. Insitec T with GMP design features triclamping and the use of 316L stainless steel in the manufacture of all metal parts, all neatly packaged on a mobile unit
with human machine interface (HMI).
- 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.

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
pilot to production
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
- Customized application, including for abrasive, fragile and cohesive materials
- Dry flow cell technology has successful 10 year track record 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 20 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. The instrument is watertight and dustproof, and certified to industrial protection rating IP65. It is CE badged and meets industrial grade electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements for safe, reliable operation.

| 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.
