Laser diffraction particle size analyzer PA-1177LW

opticallaserfor the cosmetics industry

Overview:
PA-1177LW by Raysky Scientific is an automated laser particle size distribution analyzer for wet dispersion, compliant with ISO 13320. It integrates laser diffraction, computer control and photonics in a compact unit. The instrument uses full-range Mie scattering theory and proprietary algorithms to compute particle size distributions. An integrated ultrasonic disperser, agitator and circulation system reduce re-agglomeration and improve measurement stability. Typical single-sample measurement time is under 1 minute; signals and results are generated, stored and available for printing or export.

Application:
Wet particle size analysis of suspensions and emulsions for chemicals, electronic and battery materials, agrochemicals, pigments and paints, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, ceramics, building materials, food additives, fillers (calcium carbonate, talc, kaolin), oxides (titanium dioxide, aluminum oxide), catalysts, refractory materials, graphite and related industrial materials.

Features:

• Fully integrated design with optical system, electronics, ultrasonic dispersing, agitation and automatic cleaning in one enclosure; computer-controlled automatic alignment reduces setup time.
• Short residence time in the measurement cell to prevent re-agglomeration; repeatability and stability comparable with advanced international analyzers.
• Compact mechanical layout with covered measurement and feeding systems for easy maintenance and improved electrical interference resistance.
• PC-compatible Windows software with Auto Test mode for parameter selection, alignment, background check, obscuration adjustment, signal capture, data analysis and automatic cleaning; functions include save, search, compare, edit and delete results.
• Multiple report formats: cumulative and differential particle size distribution, histogram and point statistics (D3, D10, D25, D50, D75, D84, D90, D97).
• SOP templates for different sample types (refractive index, particle model, concentration/obscuration, ultrasonic time, sampling time, circulation rate and cleaning) to optimize accuracy and repeatability.
• Anti-vibration and dust-proof construction for safe transport and operation in industrial environments.
