One of the most significant applications of this instrument is in the . When formulating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), both size and shape affect how a powder compresses into a tablet. Elongated particles may cause bridging in hoppers, while irregular shapes can lead to uneven coating. The LabPlus Solidsizer allows formulators to quantify these shape attributes, linking them directly to manufacturing performance. Similarly, in mineral processing , the system can be used to verify grinding efficiency by analyzing the liberation of valuable minerals from gangue material, distinguishing between angular crushed particles and rounded natural sands.
Achieves a correlation within 2-3% of traditional sieve results , allowing companies to upgrade their technology without needing to overhaul existing Quality Control (QC) documentation. jm canty labplus solidsizer
CantyVision™ software to analyze particles as they travel over a vibratory feeder. Comprehensive Analysis: Measures area, perimeter, minor axis, major axis, aspect ratio, and shape factors. Sieve Correlation: The SolidSizer™ can be configured to correlate to sieve data within 2% or 3%, allowing for a direct transition from traditional methods without modifying QC documents. Rapid Analysis Time: A typical 70-100 gram sample can be analyzed in less than 2 minutes. Optional Color Analysis: Available with color analysis using RGB and YUV color scales to detect color specks (e.g., burned sugar) in addition to particle size. Multiple Virtual Sieves: The software allows for setting up multiple screen distributions to accommodate various product requirements on one unit. Wide Application Range: Suitable for pharmaceuticals, polymer pellets, agricultural products, aggregate, glass beads, and sand. J.M. Canty +4 Benefits Increased Efficiency: Reduces lab testing time by enabling quick and accurate, non-destructive testing. Improved Accuracy: Eliminates human error associated with manual sieving. Cost-Effective: Often offers a short payback period due to labor savings. Detailed Data: Provides 2D particle information rather than just one-dimensional sizing. J.M. Canty +3 Typical Applications Food Processing: Measuring sugar, salt, and other granulated products to optimize crystallization and manufacturing processes. Pharmaceutical: Analyzing powder blends to ensure uniform particle size and quality. Mining/Aggregate: Testing frac sand and aggregate for size and roundness. Chemical/Plastics: Monitoring polymer pellets and beads for quality control. J.M. Canty +1 The LabPlus Solidsizer™ connects via Ethernet to a One of the most significant applications of this
