A new three-minute video highlighting the versatility of the Parsum IPP 70 In-line Particle Probe is now available on the Malvern Instruments website.
Designed to measure continuously the size, size distribution and velocity of granular particles, directly in the process, the Parsum In-line Particle Probe (IPP) is a valuable tool for process development and automated production.
It is designed to be used in many sectors, including the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Real-time particle size measurement for granulation optimisation is also the subject of a Malvern poster at the fifth International Granulation Workshop in Lausanne, Switzerland, in June 2011.
This will discuss how monitoring process granulation endpoints using real-time on and in-line analysers can aid the pharmaceutical industry in the successful implementation of the Process Analytical Technology (PAT) initiative, while maintaining efficient manufacture of materials.
The Parsum probe uses patented spatial filter velocimetry to measure particles in the size range 50-6,000um, travelling at velocities of between 0.01-50m/s.
Easily fitted in line, or into a process vessel, it can be applied in both gaseous and liquid media and is suitable for granulation applications, both high shear and fluidised bed.
Parsum software drives analysis and streamlines the automation of plant control to deliver enhanced product quality and reduced variable cost.
Remote system access makes easy observation and data reporting possible.
