Powdershape - measuring the geometry of particles
Do you need a high aspect ratio capable particle sizer?
Or are you looking for a quality control solution for powders or any other arbitrary particulate system?
Powdershape is a characterisation system for powders and generally all kinds of particles especially developed for quality inspection. It is unique in its set of features, simple user interface, and rapid characterisation process from the sample preparation to the printed certificate.
The measurement range is from 2 μm to 30 mm particle size.
To get to know more about the Powdershape family see the Powdershape product sheet or the descriptions below.
Five kinds of Powdershape systems exist:
- Powdershape Aqua - for the shape and size characterisation of particles in liquids
- Powdershape Automatic - where the samples are fed automatically by the sample feeder on the scanner. (sample feeder: Swiss patent).
Powdershape Automatic consists of a special A4 scanner, an automatic sample feeder and an integrated computer. It allows to measure the objects in transmission or reflective light mode. The measurement size ranges from 30 μm to 3 cm in grain size (20 cm max size of chips).
- Powdershape Standard - where the samples are distributed stepwise by hand
Powdershape Standard consists of a special A4 scanner with a hand-driven sample feeder and a high resolution film scanner (transmission mode only) and a computer. The A4 scanner allows to measure the objects in transmission or reflective light mode. The measurement size ranges from 10 μm to 3 cm in grain size (20 cm max size of chips). The film scanner is shown below. A digital microscope in addition to the scanners is available on request. Supported size range of the microscope is 2 - 100 μm. - Powdershape Light
Powdershape Light consists of a high resolution film scanner (transmission mode only), a digital microscope and a netbook. The measurement size range is from 2 µm to 1 mm in grain size.
