Hosokawa Custom Processing Services (HCPS) offers advanced particle size analysis through air jet sieving, ensuring that your products meet precise size specifications. Using the Mikro Air Jet Sieve, an industry-standard particle size analyzer, we provide reliable testing for dry powders across a wide range of applications.
The Mikro Air Jet Sieve is renowned for its versatility in testing particle size for dry powders, analyzing sizes from as fine as 20 µm (#635 mesh) up to 4,750 µm (#4 mesh). This device helps determine critical size metrics, such as the average particle size below a specified cut point (e.g., D90 < 50 µm) or ensures the top size doesn’t exceed product requirements. By providing accurate particle distribution data, this method supports a range of applications in quality assurance and process control.
Our Mikro Air Jet Sieve operates with high precision, using a series of test sieve screens to assess particle size distribution quickly and efficiently. This technology employs a pneumatic sieving principle, which enhances both accuracy and reproducibility. Negative pressure draws undersized particles through the sieve, while a rotating wand introduces positive airflow. This airflow disperses and de-agglomerates particles, ensuring that undersized particles pass through the sieve for collection. This approach makes it an ideal choice for quality control of raw materials, in-process checks, and verification of final product specifications.
