Particle-size information from lab to process.

IC-PARTICLE™ brings compact particle sizing to mineral suspensions — from benchtop measurements in cuvettes and flow cells to continuous online side-stream monitoring.

— Where it fits

Where it fits.

Grinding & milling

Follow how particle size changes with process conditions and residence time.

Dispersion & slurry quality

Track particle-size distribution and detect changes such as agglomeration or poor dispersion.

Online process monitoring

Follow particle-size trends continuously in a process side stream, with controlled dilution where required.

— Cost & complexity

Lower cost and complexity.

IC-PARTICLE™ is designed around a compact optical architecture intended to reduce the cost and complexity of conventional particle-sizing instrumentation.

— Sample handling

Direct or controlled dilution.

Particle concentration strongly affects optical sizing. IC-PARTICLE™ Online can therefore measure directly where suitable or use controlled dilution for concentrated slurries.

Need spectral process information too?

Where the liquid phase contains useful UV-Vis information, IC-SPECTRO™ can complement particle-size monitoring with spectral process data.
