New inline particle probe for the process industry

The new, uni­ver­sal IPP 75 in-line par­ti­cle probe is suit­able for deter­min­ing par­ti­cle size dis­tri­b­u­tions when pro­cess­ing pow­ders, gran­ules and all gran­u­lar mate­ri­als in the size range from 50 µm to 6 mm. It can also be used to mea­sure par­ti­cles in liq­uids and, for exam­ple, the droplet size dis­tri­b­u­tion in sprays.
The IPP 75 con­tin­u­ous­ly deter­mines the par­ti­cle size dis­tri­b­u­tion, veloc­i­ty and par­ti­cle con­cen­tra­tion in the run­ning process. The mea­sured val­ues are dis­played as dis­tri­b­u­tion, frac­tions or char­ac­ter­is­tics and are logged in a 24h log file or can be trans­ferred to the process con­trol system.
The very sim­ple instal­la­tion — with­out sam­pler, bypass or sim­i­lar plant com­po­nents — allows easy instal­la­tion in exist­ing plants or, for exam­ple, in pipelines, under con­vey­or belts, rotary valves in mix­ers and on screen­ing plants.
The new IPP 75 fills the gap in Par­sum’s prod­uct range between the basic IPP 70‑S mod­el and the high-end phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal ver­sion IPP 80‑P. Thanks to a new illu­mi­na­tion con­cept, the IPP 75 can be man­u­fac­tured in any length and thus offers prob­lem solu­tions for in-line par­ti­cle mea­sure­ment in large ves­sels as well as in hard-to-reach places in the process. Self-diag­nos­tic func­tions facil­i­tate its use in auto­mat­i­cal­ly con­trolled process­es and as a com­po­nent of new con­trol and automa­tion concepts.
