At Powtech 2011 on 11-13 October 2011 in Nurenberg, Germany, Malvern Instruments will show its latest particle-characterisation system offerings.
Exhibits will include Sturtevant's Micronizer Jet Mill, displayed together with a Malvern Insitec particle-size analyser and the Schenck Accurate Feeder as the introduction of ARTMiS, a jointly developed Automated Real-Time Milling System.
The ARTMiS is a fully automated system for micronisation that provides process control for optimal manufacturing efficiency.
Comprising the Sturtevant Micronizer Jet Mill, the Schenck Accurate feeder for precision feed-rate control and the Insitec real-time laser diffraction particle-size analyser from Malvern, ARTMiS is built on the expertise of all three companies.
It simplifies milling to the degree that all it requires is for the user to input a set point for the milling process and then start the feed.
Real-time particle-size data for the milled material are used to continuously drive changes to the feed rate via a simple PID control loop.
