Particles in the spotlight! Why pictures say more than laser beams

Laser-based methods are considered the gold standard in particle measurement technology. They provide rapid size distributions and, at first glance, appear to be sufficient for controlling particle processes.

Never lose sight of the big picture – inline use of optical measurement methods

The trend in the manufacturing industry is towards automation: recording data, identifying correlations in real time, controlling plant operations. This requires more and more process data to be collected inline. However, implementation is easier for some measured variables than for others.

Particle flows, the magic of process engineering

Mit unserer Sensorik machen wir Partikelströmungen in Produktionsanlagen der Chemie und Lebensmitteltechnik sichtbar. Um besser zu verstehen, warum das so interessant ist, muss zunächst der Begriff Partikelstrom klarer werden.

The correct particle shape, the decisive factor for successful crystallisation

We have designed one of our sensory systems specifically for use in crystallisation processes. But why is real-time detection of particle size and shape so important in crystallisation?

Entrain, the invisible efficiency killer

In our product description, we promote, among other things, inline measurement of entrainment. What does this term mean? To answer this question, it is worth revisiting the basics of process engineering:

Inline sensor technology, the preferred measurement method in process analytics

We advertise our sensors with the word “inline”—but what exactly does that mean for the application? Here is a brief digression into process analytics:
