What your bulk QC lab actually checks

Representative coarse statistics

A wide free-fall stream and 2 kg samples give statistically sound size and shape on aggregates and granules — sieve-comparable, without the time and error of a sieve stack.

About this product

The Microtrac CAMSIZER XL is a dynamic image analysis system for coarse and bulk particles — 160 µm to 135 mm, measuring size and 40+ morphology parameters on a wide free-falling stream, with sieve-comparable results for aggregates, granules and proppants.

Microtrac CAMSIZER XL coarse and bulk particle size and shape analyzer
The CAMSIZER XL — coarse and bulk size-and-shape analysis on a wide free-falling stream.

Why bulk labs choose the CAMSIZER XL

Representative, high-throughput size and shape on coarse material that fine analyzers and manual sieving can’t handle.

Built for coarse and bulk

160 µm to 135 mm in one measurement — aggregates, granules, fertilizer and proppants that fine-powder analyzers and manual sieving handle poorly.

High-throughput free-fall

A high-speed camera images a wide free-falling stream and measures large samples over 2 kg — representative statistics on bulk material, not a tiny sub-sample.

40+ morphology parameters

15 size, 13 shape and 3 surface-roughness measures plus density and transparency — full characterization of coarse particles, not just a size cut.

Sieve replacement for bulk

Sieve-comparable output retires slow, imprecise sieve stacks for aggregates and granules while keeping the mesh specifications customers require.

How Additive Plus supports it

A configured, installed analyzer with a coarse size-and-shape method dialed in.

Step 01
Configure to your material

We set the feed and free-fall geometry to your particle size and throughput — from granules to coarse aggregate.

Step 02
Install & train

Factory-trained engineers install and train your team on size, shape and sieve-correlation reporting on-site.

Step 03
Method & QC support

We build the SOP — sieve-equivalent cuts, shape limits and a lot-to-lot baseline so results stay repeatable.

Common questions

Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.

What size range does the CAMSIZER XL cover, and why choose it over the X2?
The CAMSIZER XL measures coarse material from 160 µm to 135 mm, where the fine-powder CAMSIZER X2 (0.9 µm to 8 mm) leaves off. Choose the XL for aggregates, granules, fertilizer, proppants and other bulk material; choose the X2 for fine powders such as metal AM feedstock. If your material spans both ranges, we help you decide which instrument, or both, fits your QC.
How does it get representative results on coarse material?
Coarse materials need large samples for statistical reliability — a handful of stones does not represent a truckload. The CAMSIZER XL images a wide free-falling stream and measures samples over 2 kg, so it captures enough particles for sound size and shape statistics. A high-speed camera (over 100 images per second) keeps measurement times to a few minutes despite the large sample.
What parameters does it measure?
The CAMSIZER XL reports more than 40 morphological parameters — 15 size measures, 13 shape descriptors and 3 surface-roughness values, plus density and transparency information. That lets you specify not just a size gradation but roundness, sphericity and angularity, which matter for proppant performance, aggregate packing and fertilizer flow.
Can it replace sieve analysis for aggregates and granules?
Yes. The CAMSIZER XL produces sieve-comparable results, so you keep the mesh-based gradation your standards and customers require while replacing slow, operator-dependent sieve stacks. Image analysis is faster, more precise and adds shape data sieving cannot provide — useful for proppant sphericity, aggregate shape and fertilizer roundness where sieving alone misses defects.
Is there an inline version for production monitoring?
Yes. The CAMSIZER ONLINE XL applies the same coarse image-analysis technology inline, sampling from a production stream for real-time size and shape monitoring. Choose the lab CAMSIZER XL for at-line and QC work; choose the ONLINE XL to integrate measurement into the process loop. We help you decide which fits your workflow and can quote both.
What lead time and support come with the CAMSIZER XL?
The CAMSIZER XL is configured to order — feed and free-fall geometry to your material — so lead time depends on the configuration; request a current timeline and we confirm it in writing. Installation, training on size, shape and sieve-correlation reporting, and method development on your own material are included, backed by application engineering with a sub-4-hour response.
