Optical particle size analyzer PA-1156LW

laserlaser diffractionfor the cosmetics industry

Product overview
The PA-1156LW is an automatic laser particle size analyzer designed for laser diffraction measurement of powders and suspensions from 0.1 µm to 1000 µm. It integrates instantaneous dispersion and rapid measurement to ensure representative sampling, high repeatability and stable results. The instrument supports continuous automated testing and automatic data recording for traceable reports.

Applications
Applicable to research institutes and industry sectors such as electronic materials, chemicals, pesticides, pigments, pharmaceuticals, titanium dioxide, ceramics, building materials, coal-water slurry, cosmetics, abrasives, coatings, food ingredients, calcium carbonate, talc, kaolin, paper, alumina, rare earths and catalysts for particle size distribution analysis of powders and emulsions.

Features

• Integrated system under computer control: optical unit, electronics, sample cell, built-in ultrasonic disperser, mechanical stirring and peristaltic circulation with automatic cleaning and centering.
• Compact, modular design with short sample flow path to minimize re-agglomeration and delamination after dispersion.
• High-resolution multi-angle detector array (98-level) and large-angle detection for improved measurement resolution.
• Imported 635 nm semiconductor laser (3 mW) with long lifetime; optical design follows ISO13320 and ISO13321 principles.
• Windows-compatible software (Windows XP/7) with one-click Auto test workflow (setup, centering, background, concentration, sampling, analysis, report generation, cleaning) and functions for storage, query, comparison and report export in English and Chinese.
• Presettable test modes (concentration, ultrasonic time, sampling time, circulation rate, cleaning) to optimize repeatability for different sample types.
• Robust construction with anti-vibration, dust- and moisture-resistant features for use and transport in industrial environments.
