UK-based Malvern Instruments has developed the Parsum IPP-80 probe which has been designed to provide easy-to-integrate inline particle size measurement for efficient process monitoring and control. Suitable for powders, pellets and granules, the new probe enables the real-time monitoring of agglomeration, coating and granulation processes. The resulting data provide a secure basis for pilot plant studies, process optimisation and control. A robust, sanitary design delivers long-running operation with minimal attention and includes inbuilt self-diagnostic tools that ensure data quality.  
 

For many products, including many pharmaceuticals and foods, particle size is a performance defining characteristic. During granulation, for example, control of particle size may be vital, to ensure the production of granules that meet the requirements of subsequent processing steps and/or deliver the required performance in a finished product. Inline PSD measurement enables effective process monitoring and control. The Parsum IPP-80 has been specified for use in an environment where hygiene is a priority and has a sanitary stainless steel design that is easy to clean with any conventional cleaning agent. It is ATEX certified for Zone 0/20 operation. The launch webinar can be viewed at: www.malvern.com/parsum-webinar
