Particle size analysis of suspensions and emulsions with the wet disperser QUIXEL inserted in a HELOS/BF for fast measurement cycles of even very coarse and dense materials. The front lid is removed for clarity.
Technical specifications and dimensions.
QUIXEL is the advanced wet dispersing system suitable for particle size analysis on all kinds of suspensions and emulsions in the size range of 0,1 µm to 3.5 mm. Its innovative, tubeless design enables very fast measuring cycles. Even high density particles such as 3 mm ball bearing beads made from stainless steel are safely transported in water through the flow through cell without the need for using special liquids of high viscosity. The wet dispersion process is supported by a built-in ultrasonication unit, which is adjustable by software from 0 to 60 W in 1% steps.
The operation is fully automated. All parameters such as pumping speed etc. are controlled by software. The interface to external sampling and sample preparation stages is fully supported. Special top-lids with automated additive supply are available as an option.
