Particle Size Distribution Analyzer and Powder Processing

Abstract

Particle size distribution is one of the most important physical properties in powder processing. Generally, a product produced in a powder process is sampled a little at regular intervals and measured by a particle size distribution measuring device installed in another room. However, in recent years, an online particle size ­distribution measuring device has been demanded from the expectation of advanced production management, IoT and labor saving. This paper introduces the system that uses our online particle size analyzer Optisizer^® series. What should be noted in the online measurement of particle size distribution, feedback control and ­application to remote monitoring system are described.
