Laser Diffraction In-process Particle Size Analysis
Particle Size Analysis Including Dry Powder Dispersion and Representative Sampling
|
Over the past twenty years laser diffraction has become the dominating principal in particle sizing. Initially off-line instruments have been adapted to process pipes with sampler couplers. Today MYTOS combines the core technology of the well established Sympatec HELOS laser diffraction sensor and the proven RODOS dry disperser in rugged, industrial design to the state of the art in-line laser diffraction unit for dry powders from 0.25 to 3500 µm, what is unique and superior. Combinations with TWISTER, the innovative representative in-line sampler, to existing samplers and/or dry powder feeder VIBRI are in operation.
For granules or very fragile particles MYTIS is the first choice. Similar to MYTOS it combines the HELOS technology with the gravity disperser GRADIS in a single robust instrument covering the size range from 0.5 to 3500 µm.
For in- & on-line particle size analysis sampling should be continuous and must be representative. Since most process stages are connected by pipes, the TWISTER sampler – but also the disperser and analyser MYTOS – should ideally be integrated into the process pipe so that only the information about the particle size distribution leaves the pipe only. Representative sampling can hardly be realised with a static probe taking material from a single position in the pipe only. Hence the TWISTER sampler scans the entire pipe cross-section and feeds the representative sample continuously to the subsequent MYTOS laser diffraction analyser.
The MYTOS laser diffraction and dispersing system being adapted to the process operates fully independent of the conditions in the process pipe. The TWISTER & MYTOS set-up allows for reference measurements prior to every single normal measurement, of course always combined with a fully automatic auto-alignment of the laser diffraction system, thus ensuring the MYTOS analyser to be in perfectly clean and totally aligned condition whenever an analysis is performed.
MYTOS and MYTIS cover a uniquely broad particle size range from 0.25 to 3500 microns and are applied for a stunning variety of products from cement to pharmaceuticals as well as from harsh and dirty environments to GMP areas. The system is designed for installations in ATEX rated zones, if required.
Innovative Superior Performance
MYTOS, MYTOS and TWISTER bundle innovative technologies for superior performance due to combination of:
- Representative TWISTER sampling in or from process pipes in the diameter range of 38 to 660 mm and for a product temperature range up to 150°C
- Powerful, proven and unique dry powder sample preparation, ensuring complete dispersion of fine and cohesive powders down to the submicron range (MYTOS) and granulates up to the high millimetre range (MYTIS)
- Real time laser diffraction particle size analysis of perfectly dispersed powders with up to 2000 measurements / second
- Comparability to established Sympatec HELOS & RODOS lab technology applying the same core components, which allows for a transfer of established analytical methods

The WINDOX software package provides calculation and display of all relevant size characteristics. Adaptation to process control systems with TCP/IP, Profibus, digital or analogue PLC signals is a standard.
MYTOS and MYTIS are designed to comply with FDA requirements and to 21 CFR Rule 11.
