Wet analysis is based on the similar operating principle as the dry system. Particle can be measured in the range from 0.5-800 microns in multiple parallel channels. Typically the measurement is carried out in parallel for 4 channels.
How it works?
The particle size measurement system is based on the laser diffraction principle. Special multi-particle scattering model is used to provide reliable measurements with very high concentrations of particles. This allows measuring particle sizes directly in most of the production lines. The slurry sampling system is employed for switching between the measured channels. The system can switch channels in free combination, duration and priorities. Furthermore, the sampled slurry can be stored in the local buffer tanks to allow simultaneous sampling of 3-4 points. The sampled portions can then be analysed by the main analyser unit.
