In industries where dry powder analysis is crucial - pharmaceuticals, cement manufacturing, additive manufacturing, and more - precision, speed, and flexibility are essential to keeping operations efficient and on track.
Yet most dry powder systems have remained bulky, stationary, and hard to adapt to fast-paced, dynamic environments.
That’s where the Raptor Portable Dry Powder Analyzer comes in. It is the first system built specifically for portability, delivering lab-grade performance wherever it’s needed.
Why portability matters in dry powder analysis
Traditional dry powder systems require samples to be transported to a central lab - a process that introduces several drawbacks:
- Risk of sample contamination
- Loss of valuable time
- Disruptions to production efficiency
The Raptor Portable Dry Powder Analyzer eliminates these challenges by allowing engineers, operators, and quality teams to perform advanced powder analysis exactly where it’s needed - on the production floor, in clean rooms, or out in the field.
Key features of the Raptor portable dry powder analyzer
- Truly Portable: A lightweight, compact design that integrates seamlessly into existing workflows without disruption.
- High-Precision Measurement: Uses dynamic image analysis to deliver highly accurate particle size and shape data.
- Easy-to-use Interface and Tools: An intuitive dashboard enables fast, confident decision-making in the field - no expertise required.
- Versatile Application: Built to perform reliably across a wide range of powders, including pharmaceutical excipients, cement powders, specialty chemicals, and more.
- Rugged Design: Designed for mobility without compromising the durability needed for demanding industrial environments.
- Thumbnail Images: Visual snapshots provide clear, objective insight into your sample, making it easy to understand what’s happening in your process, even without technical training.
