IntelliSizer In-Process Particle Analyser
The Intellisizer acts as the eyes of the milling process. At the core of the Intellisizer, is a quality laser diffraction instrument, built to withstand the challenges of process environments (IP66). We use high stability lasers, the best optics, and the highest specification custom designed detectors and put it all inside a precision optical bench.
This simple step alone, has given us stability not possible with any other system on the market. Add to that, carefully designed kinematic optical mounts, the latest electronics, intelligent self maintaining software and an IP65 rated enclosure, and you have a genuine industrial first.
IntelliSizer gives you Process Control
When powders are milled to a specific fineness, a degree of insurance over-grinding usually takes place in order to be sure the product is within specification. This costs money, but is an insurance against under-grinding in a process which is only monitored by lab measurement every 2 hours.
2 hours is a long time in a production process, and if an event occurs, tens of thousands of pounds (or more) of product may be lost, or need re-working.
The Intellisizer measures the complete particle size distribution 2000 times per second producing real time data of the state of the process. By feeding this data to the PLC or DCS and automating the control of the separator such that in-spec product is produced all the time, the energy expended in insurance over grinding is thus eliminated. An added advantage is that the residence time of the product in the mill is reduced, such that throughput can be significantly increased.
