Malvern Instruments publishes Cement Plant analyzer brochure

April 21, 2009 - 'Cement Plant Solutions' brochure from Malvern Instruments gives a complete overview of the company’s comprehensive range of particle size analyzers for the cement industry.

Using advanced laser diffraction technology, Malvern’s complete solution packages are now standard in most particulate processing industries, including over 400 cement plants across the globe. The range of analyzers includes options for off-, at- and on-line cement measurement, providing ideal solutions for both conventional and fully automated laboratories, and the process environment.

Increasingly, the industry is replacing Blaine analysis with particle size measurement to gain better control of cement performance. Laser diffraction offers a highly robust, consistent method of characterizing the complete cement size distribution, enabling accurate measurement and control of the cement fineness. This can significantly reduce the product inconsistencies observed when using Blaine analysis, from 6-7% to less than 1% RSD.

As world leaders in particle characterization, Malvern has pioneered the use of both laboratory and real-time, on-line particle size analysis in powder processing for more than 40 years. The ‘turnkey’ packages summarized within the new Cement Plant Solutions brochure can not only increase the quality and consistency of a finished product, but also substantially reduce production costs, giving an excellent return on investment.

About Malvern Instruments
Malvern Instruments provides a range of complementary materials characterization tools that deliver inter-related measurements reflecting the complexities of particulates and disperse systems, nanomaterials and macromolecules. Analytical instruments from Malvern are used in the characterization of a wide variety of materials, from industrial bulk powders to nanomaterials and delicate macromolecules. A broad portfolio of innovative technologies is combined with intelligent, user-friendly software. These systems deliver industrially relevant data enabling our customers to make the connection between micro (such as particle size) and macro (bulk) material properties (rheology) and chemical composition (chemical imaging).

Particle size, particle shape, zeta potential, molecular weight, chemical composition and rheological properties measurements are now joined by advanced chromatography solutions (GPC/SEC), extending Malvern’s technologies for protein molecular weight, size and aggregation measurements, and synthetic polymer molecular weight and distribution. The company’s laboratory, at-line, on-line and in-line solutions are proven in sectors as diverse as cement production and pharmaceutical drug discovery.

Headquartered in Malvern, UK, Malvern Instruments has subsidiary organizations in all major European markets, North America, China, Korea and Japan, a joint venture in India, a global distributor network and applications laboratories around the world.
