![Malvern introduces the new Chocosizer: smarter particle sizing for chocolate](/files/img_cache/2151556/480_405MAL_JOB_3167_Image.jpg?1463196471)
The innovative additions to the Mastersizer portfolio – Chocosizer and the Funnel Sample Feeder for the Aero S - enable faster analysis and make it easier to develop and apply the robust particle sizing methods essential to both industries.
Particle size directly impacts both the flavour and strength of coffee.
Consistent production of the correct grade of coffee therefore relies heavily on the quick and reproducible measurement of coffee ground particle size and size distributions.
Controlling the particle size of chocolate ensures desirable taste and texture, creating a similar requirement for routine particle sizing within the industry.
Used in combination, the Mastersizer 3000 and the new Funnel Sample Feeder for the Aero S dry powder disperser offer an alternative to traditional sieve analysis for the routine measurement of the particle size distribution of coffee samples.
The accessory is designed specifically for bulk measurements of coffee grounds within production and quality control. It accurately and quickly disperses coffee samples ranging up to 130 ml in volume, ahead of measurement.
This speeds up and simplifies the process of introducing samples for analysis, decreasing the time required to obtain results.
The Chocosizer kit enables efficient and reproducible measurement of chocolate samples by streamlining the analytical workflow.
To achieve accurate, representative particle size data chocolate must be dispersed within a suitable solvent.
The Chocosizer kit includes an external ultrasonic probe, timer and liquid dispensers, enabling the efficient pre-dispersion of chocolate samples prior to measurement.
