Whether for production, services, or experiments, industrial plants rely on many tools and equipment. Each device must be carefully selected to suit the needs of each plant, which differ in size and in how the equipment is used. One essential piece of equipment in industry is the particle size analyzer.
What is a particle size analyzer? First, it’s important to understand that particles are the building blocks of all the substances in our daily lives. Every object and every part of the environment is formed from many tiny particles joined together. Substances are classified as solids, liquids, and gases according to how their particles are arranged. When particles are packed closely together in an orderly arrangement, they cannot move and are strong; substances with this arrangement are solids. When particles are arranged irregularly with space between them, they can move more freely than closely packed particles; substances whose particles can move are usually classified as liquids, and this freedom of movement is why liquids take the shape of their container. The last type is gas, made up of particles that move freely and are only weakly bound to one another, if at all, which is why gases can disperse through the air. Once we understand particles and their effects, we can see that particles give objects their different properties. This is why particle size analyzers have become essential in industry.
In most cases, particle size analyzers are used to measure the size and various properties of particles, focusing on substances that are hard to handle and require tight control, such as liquids and gases. Because liquids and gases are difficult to control, particle size analyzers are needed to check the properties of the particles in these substances. The basic method is to use the particle size analyzer to collect a sample of the substance to be tested. The sample is drawn into the instrument, analyzed, and the results are shown on the display, so users can learn the size and properties of the substance from the particle analysis.
When using a particle size analyzer, you need to choose one that suits your factory and is convenient to use, so work in the plant can follow its processes quickly and accurately. However, using and buying a particle size analyzer can be challenging when it comes to assessing suitability, because every factory has different applications and requirements for particle measurement. With different factors such as factory size, the purpose of the analyzer, and the operating environment, it takes knowledge, understanding, and expertise in particle size analyzers. PICO takes care of this complexity for its customers. PICO is a distributor of particle size analyzers specifically for industrial use and can provide consultation. PICO works to provide maximum convenience to customers, sending expert representatives in industrial plant equipment to the site to inspect, analyze, and assess the factory’s needs, and fully discussing and understanding the user’s requirements until the assessment identifies the most suitable instrument. PICO then provides a quotation and sources the best particle size analyzer for the customer. And PICO’s work doesn’t end there. Because PICO truly understands and cares about its customers, after the particle size analyzer has been selected, PICO also provides expert installation and advice on care and maintenance.
Particle size analyzers are therefore not only important for industrial work, making it faster, safer, and more accurate, but they also require care, from selecting equipment that suits the application and other factors such as factory size, to installation and maintenance that need expert attention. PICO places great importance on and pays close attention to its customers. PICO’s work is not just about sourcing and installation, but also detailed inspection, analysis, and assessment, as well as advice and care from start to finish. It’s no surprise that PICO has long been a trusted distributor of particle size analyzers.
