OCCHIO ZEPHYRBased upon a combination of mechanical dispersion and linear acceleration in air flow, Zephyr provides fast and accurate size and shape analysis of sieveable powders through image analysis. The instrument combines a high quality imaging system with a robust mechanical quality design for at-line and on-line process control.
Features
- Mechanical dispersion and linear acceleration with air flow,
- Telecentric lens for unrivalled image quality, size measurement accuracy and wide depth of focus,
- Robust mechanical quality design,
- Integrated computer and electronics and advanced software for size and morphometric analysis.
The sample is placed directly on the Zephyr vibrating feeder. Then the particles enter in an air flow passing between a collimated lighting and telecentric optics. The acquisition region is located close to the powder entry point in order to capture all the grains within the focus region.Analysis duration and cleaning time are set, and the measurement is started. Within a few seconds, results are displayed. The instrument is able to analyse large quantity of sample in just a few minutes due to the high-speed air flow. Typically, plastic pellets 0.5-2.5mm sample flow is 500 gr/min.
SoftwareThe embedded Callisto image analysis software with unrivalled morphologic descriptor, computes 16 dedicated parameters for you. These parameters were engineered to be significant, robust and linked to physical properties.
