Photocopying, laser printing, and industrial digital printing quality are dependant on toner particle size

Automatic 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 campaigns of entire sample path
  • Possibility of real-time yield estimation

The particle size analyzers are used to optimize and continually monitor the production of wet and dry toner particulates from mills, classifiers and polymerizing reactors.
