PA Fast Sizer 100

the particle sizer for all your applications

Fast

Broad particle size range

measurement in concentrated emulsion

small sample volume

Introduction

The new PA Fast Sizer 100 is a turnkey instrument providing particle size using acoustic spectral analysis under true sample conditions without dilution. Sample dilution is time-consuming and errorprone. The ab initio method doesn't need a calibration standard.

PA Fast Sizer 100 requires no assumptions about the particle size distribution.

Offering a flexible measurement platform, the PA Fast Sizer 100 is ideal for both laboratory and plant applications. It has a powerful MS-Excel-based data and report software and a low-maintenance design.

Application

The PA Fast Sizer 100 can be used for plant optimization, QA/QC and research for major industrial and academic applications including:

Ceramics, paint and inks, coal slurries, semiconductors, pigments, food colloids, emulsions, clay minerals, bio-colloids, paper coatings, pharmaceuticals, wet milling/grinding, control of homogenization, catalysts and zeolites, polishing compound, nano dispersion, aqueous and nonaquoeus dispersions.
