Hosokawa Micron has improved its MAJS Air Jet Sieve particle-size analyzer

The Mikro Air Jet Sieve model MAJS particle-size analyzer by Hosokawa Micron

Many manufacturers of processing equipment offer products in Canada through Firing Industries. One of these producers, Hosokawa Micron, makes the Mikro Air Jet Sieve model MAJSx², a highly accurate and reliable particle-size analyzer recommended for the chemical, mineral, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food-processing, and plastics sectors. Now, Hosokawa Micron has improved the performance of the MAJSx² – updating its software to include CFR 21 part 11 registration.

Programmable vacuum pressure units

Hosokawa Micron has also added 12 language options and programmable vacuum pressure units to this particle-size analyzer, among other features. The MAJSx² includes these new user benefits while retaining its original design.

The MAJSx² is designed to determine the particle-size distribution of dry powders ranging in size from 20 to 4,750 micrometres. Already trusted by laboratories worldwide, this easy-to-operate device can be used to determine dry-powder particle sizes, to confirm that a powder top size does not exceed product specifications, and as a small lab-scale classifier for cutting fine portions out of samples.

Available from Firing Industries, the MAJSx² uses a short series of sieve screens to determine the particle sizes of powdered samples. Negative pressure draws all particles below a specific particle size through a test sieve screen, and a positive airflow moves upwards through a rotating wand, carrying smaller particles to a vacuum collector. This method is ideal for quality control of raw materials, process control, and confirmation of final product specifications.

This particle-size analyzer has many other advantageous features for users, including the following: automatic data recording and storage, with network capability; USB backup of analysis; 20 gigabytes of storage; calculation of particle-size points from 0.01 to 99.99 per cent with the Rosin-Rammler Law; output graphs in linear and Rosin-Rammler formats; automatic differential-pressure control; adjustable date and time zone, for international use; sample volumes of ten to 100 grams per cycle; and polycarbonate sieve cover, brush, and tapping hammer.
