Particulate Systems, a brand ofMicromeritics Instrument Corporation, was recently granted exclusive global distribution rights for the Material Flow Equipment SPECTester material segregation tester.
Most manufactured products today are mixtures of several components. Generally, the individual ingredients in a mixture will separate (segregate) during the manufacturing process which results in an inconsistent final product. Segregation, or separation, of granular powder materials is one of the main causes of process failure with systems that handle powder materials. Conservative estimates suggest up to 30% of all unscheduled downtimes are due to segregation and quality issues.
使用最先进的光谱技术，创新的Spodester能够分析由多达六个单独的组件组成的样品，并提供了一个简单的报告，表明样品材料为何和多少分离。该仪器完全自动化，提供了有关组件浓度，粒度差异和产品均匀性的数据。Spotester能够通过粒度，筛分，流动性，安息角，化学成分和空气夹带来测量分离。它完全能够缩进原发性和二级分离机制。Spotester可用于研发设施以及生产工厂，用于现场，中途质量控制。
Patrick Wommack, General Manager for Particulate Systems, comments, "We are pleased to offer the SPECTester as another addition to the Particulate Systems brand. This distribution agreement is part of our continuing effort to offer a wide variety of material characterization solutions to our customers."
