HELOS/KR Wide-Range-Technology for Particle Size Analysis from 0.1µm up to 3500µm
The HELOS/KR Laser Diffraction sensor includes now wide range measurements from 0.1µm up to 3500µm.
HELOS MAXIRANGE with wet disperser QUIXEL covering the unique size range from 0.1µm to 3500µm using forward scattering only
The new evaluation software allows for the combination of the intensity distributions of individual measuring ranges with up to 124 independent measuring points into one common result. The HELOS MAXIRANGE is equipped with four measuring ranges from 0.1µm to 3500µm mounted on a single lens revolver. Both Fraunhofer and Mie theory are available for the full size range, allowing for the characterisation of extremely wide size distributions with x90/x10 >100.
HELOS KR & BR are the first & only sensors using nothing else but best suited "Low Angle Laser Light Scattering" in the parallel laser beam. This exclusive forward scattering overcomes all handicaps of hybrid LD-sensors mixing different methods from forward- to backscatter individually complemented with sidescatter.

HELOS/BR with the new Range-Combination Technology from 0.1µm to 875µm
The HELOS/BR Laser Diffraction sensor implements the technology of range combinations in a housing with very small footprint, offering a measuring range from 0.1µm up to 875µm.
HELOS/BR with wet disperser SUCELL covering a size range from 0.1µm to 875µm
The new evaluation software allows for the combination of the intensity distributions of individual measuring ranges with up to 93 independent measuring points into one common result. The HELOS/BR is equipped with up to three measuring ranges from 0.1µm to 875µm mounted on a single lens revolver. Both Fraunhofer and Mie theory are available for the full size range, allowing for the characterisation of extremely wide size distributions with x90/x10 >100.
HELOS KR & BR have new electronics to further improve accuracy and speed of the data acquisition. A standard TCP/IP interface connects the instruments via your in-house network or directly with the controlling PC.

SUCELL/L with Universal Chemical Resistance for Size & Shape Analysis
Sympatec improved the wet disperser SUCELL/L.
The new SUCELL/L mounted on top of the dry disperser RODOS/L in combination with the QICPIC sensor for particle size and shape analysis.
SUCELL/L can be applied for a very wide variety of solvents, as the new basin is manufactured with a laser welding process and all hoses and seals in the liquid loop are made of PTFE or FFKM. For the peristaltic pump hose materials such as EPDM, FKM, Marprene® and CHEM-SURE®, . which is similar to PTFE, are provided.
Flow cuvettes with gap width of 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 4mm with integrated RFID identification are available to adapt this device to the specific application and measuring range. Handling, accessibility and cleaning have been further improved to the requirements of industrial applications.

PICCELL - Image Analysis in the Wet Particle Process Environment
PICCELL combines the advanced image analysis sensor QICPIC and the flexible wet dispersing system LIXELL into a unique measuring device for the wet particle process environment.
PICCELL for particle size and shape analysis in the wet process environment. The connectors to the process are provided on top and bottom of the centre housing.
Measurement frequencies of up to 450 frames per second in combination with a nanosecond illumination are the basis of statistically relevant and highly reproducible results. Applications in the size range from 2µm to 2500µm are covered with different measuring ranges and cuvette types. With its high quality materials such as V4Astainless steel this device is resistant against most liquids, and operates with pressures up to 10 bars and temperatures up to 100°C. ATEX certification is available on request.
Operation control of PICCELL is managed with the WINDOX 5.4.2 via TCP/IP. A PLC is available as an option.

Static Sampler - a Powerful new L-Probe for on-line PSA
To take particles out of the production line a new sampling probe is available.
Static sampler mounted in a process pipe with 150 mm diameter
Via clamp flange according to DIN 32676 the Static Sampler can easily be attached to a process pipe. Due to its adjustable depth of immersion, particles may be taken from the centre of pipes with diameters from 50 to 150 mm. All metallic parts of the sampler are made of SS304 stainless steel. Seals are available in NBR and FKM. For an optimum sampling of coarse and fine products probes with inner diameters of 6 and 10 mm are provided. The sample's optical concentration can be adjusted with a number of different tip diameters from 1 to 20 mm. In order to provide a smooth transport of samples with different properties three types of linings are offered: PTFE for sticky products, Vulkollan® and NBR for more or less abrasive materials. As an option a Vulkollan® wear protection can be added to the outside of the probe. PTFE and NBR in addition are arranged in a conductive quality. The Static Sampler is also available in a dust and gas explosion-proof version for use in zone 20 and 0.

TCP/IP Control of Sympatec Sensors
The first HELOS and MYTOS systems equipped with a TCP/IP communication between sensor and PC are presented during POWTECH 2008 in Nuremberg, Germany, 30.09.– 2.10.2008. The new technology has a number of advantages: The PCs standard network interfaces can be used as well as existing network infrastructure for distant connections in process control, whereby the communication is secured via authentication protocol. In sealed laboratories of pharmaceutical companies wireless network is possible. The WINDOX sensor control software can be installed on a virtual PC.
Additional new features are on the verge of availability: A significant speed up of the PC-to-instrument communication, corresponding to the speed of current networks. Measurements are carried out with a precise timing, based on timers in the instrument, independent of the PC processor load. More than one logical channel (command, data, ...) between instrument and PC enable measurements and instrument control virtually at the same time. More than one sensor can be attached to the same PC without special hardware.

Sympatec takes Part in
OPC-ADI Initiative
OPC ( Open Process Control) has become one of the standard protocols for process control systems in industry. The OPC Foundation has announced the release date for the OPC-ADI (Analyser Devices Integration) draft specification for review.
The OPC Foundation working group is composed of end-users such as: Abbott, Arla, GSK, Pfizer, and vendors such as: ABB, CAS, Kaiser Optical Systems, Malvern Instruments, Mettler-Toledo, Siemens, Software Toolbox, Sympatec, ThermoFisher, Umetrics, and Yokogawa representing both Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and laboratory industries.
The objective of the Analyser Device Integration working group is the development of a common method for data exchange and an analyser data model for process and laboratory analysers. OPC-ADI is determined as a logical extension of the OPC UA specifications. The release date for the draft specification is December 2008. Sympatec are going to integrate this new standard into its own software.
