PICTOS & Co. Family

The PICTOS family includes different solutions according to their installation environment:

Sensor Versions Measuring range/ Modules
on-line PICTOS & TWISTER 1.8 µm to 3,500 µm/ 4
on-line PICCELL 1 µm to 5,000 µm/ 5
at-line PICTOS & VIBRI 1.8 µm to > 3,500 µm*/ 4
at-line PICTIS & VIBRI 1.8 µm to 10,000 µm**/ 4
off-line PICTOS & VIBRI 1.8 to > 3,500 µm*/ 4
off-line PICTIS & VIBRI 1.8 µm to 10,000 µm**/ 4
    * for fibres
    ** upper value for compact shapes
  • Particle size, particle shape, fibre characterisation
  • Efficient dry dispersion ensuring complete dispersion for fine, even cohesive powders, granules and fibres down to the submicron range with PICTOS
  • Gentle dispersion for free-flowing, coarser or even metastable powders, fibres and granules millimetre range with PICTIS
  • Highly sensitive analysis of suspensions and emulsions with PICCELL
  • Measurement outside the process line under process-related conditions
  • Valid method transfer due to comparability to the established off-line image analysers QICPIC with RODOS, GRADIS or LIXELL using the same core components
  • Real-time analyses at the process
  • GMP design for regulated environments
  • Remote control of the measurement procedure via TCP/IP or serial interface

Applied for control of

Together with the representative sampler TWISTER, the image analysis sensor PICTOS forms a perfectly coordinated and robust on-line process analysis system for fine, even cohesive powders, granules and fibres. PICCELL with its flow-through cuvette finally transfers wet dispersion of suspensions and emulsions to on-line operations of image analysis. PICTOS and PICCELL are operated in a bypass line to the main process stream and supplied with product samples from the product stream via a sampling system.

The PICTOS & VIBRI system can also be used as a manually operated laboratory instrument. The process-design of the sensor is ideal for analyses in batch production or in the pilot plant. As standard, the systems are pre-equipped for potential integration at a later date into an at-line laboratory automation system.

Particle shape analysis with QICPIC, RODOS/L and VIBRI/L

The modular image analysis sensor QICPIC combines size and shape analysis of particulate systems from 1 µm to 34,000 µm. Flexible adaption to powders, granules, fibres, suspensions and emulsions is provided by a wide range of dispersing and dosing units. Numerous implementations in pharmaceutical and chemical industry, food and beverage technology, and soil science just denote the array of applications in industry and research.
