Meeting an industry need, particle size analysis has evolved from milling, sieving and other material processing techniques. Sieves provide a simple cost-effective mechanical method of distributing granules into particle size classes or prepare them for further analysis.

This measurement approach is useful for particles of several microns to tens of millimetres in size. Other particle characterization advancements have been made utilizing optical technology such as high-definition cameras and laser light scattering and detection systems.

Progressive analysis software and extremely accurate light signal detection has given competitive edge to material processing businesses through increased sampling throughput speeds. In many sectors like foodstuffs, pharmaceutical, carbon and polymer companies benefit greatly.

Particle size analysis

In addition to assessing grain size of dry microparticles or those suspend in liquids, also nanometer scale particles can be defined in size and size distribution.

The range and classification abilities of particle size analysis instruments have been designed by experienced manufacturers like Retsch Technology to fit a large breadth of applications in process or research, taking full advantage of appropriate technology and building upon many years of proven experience.
