Granulation
Real-time granulation monitoring
Track granule growth and identify changes during operation.
The challenge
Moisture, feed, shear, and drying shift the distribution rapidly.
Moisture, feed, shear, and drying shift the distribution rapidly. Continuous measurements reveal trajectory and endpoint.
Fines and oversize
Endpoint and batch repeatability
Drying and pellet coating
Visual results
From granule formation to final distribution.
From objects to data
Continuous information that reveals change.
Size and distribution
Count and population
Shape and morphology
Real-time trends
Technology and application
SOPAT and Parsum for different granulation stages.
SOPAT images particles in suitable media; Parsum measures powders, granules, and pellets in dry streams using spatial filtering velocimetry.
Technical note: Technology and point depend on process stage, moisture, stickiness, concentration, size, and control objective.
Technical questions
Frequently asked questions about this application.
How is granule growth tracked?
Distributions and percentiles reveal population shifts during the process.
Can endpoint be detected?
Trend stabilization can support an endpoint criterion after validation.
Which technology should be used?
The choice between SOPAT imaging and Parsum depends on material state and the available point.
