What your production line actually checks
Quality, in real time
Continuous inline size and shape means you see a process drift as it happens and correct it — not after a lab result hours later confirms a bad batch.
An applications engineer on the line
Process integration, control strategy and shape method development from engineers who run particle characterization in-house.

- Standard or custom-built sampling system that takes material from the line and returns it to the process
- Connection to your plant data control system (DCS): trends, alarms and color-coded graphs in the control room
- Explosion-proof version and epoxy overcoat finish, where your plant requires them

- Installation and on-site operator training — included in every quotation
What the CAMSIZER ONLINE is
The CAMSIZER ONLINE is a dynamic image analyzer from Microtrac built to sit in the process instead of the lab. A sampling system takes material from the line and feeds it through a funnel onto a vibrating tray. The particles fall off the end of the tray and tumble through a zone lit by a stroboscopic light, where a high-speed 5 MP camera photographs them. The software tracks each particle as it falls and takes 6 to 30 images of it in different orientations, so it measures length, width and thickness — not a single projection. Results reach the control room as distributions and trend data, and the sample goes back to the process.

What it tells you about your process
When an operator grabs a sample, walks it to the lab and waits for the result, two to twelve hours can pass while the process keeps running. On the line, these are the numbers that arrive while the product is still being made:
| Size distribution | one or several size definitions, as distribution and as trend — built for correlation with sieve analysis |
| Shape from thickness | sphericity, surface roughness, flakiness and aspect ratios that use the particle thickness |
| Length to thickness | for cylindrical extrudates and granulate, together with their total size |
| Fines | an overpopulation of fine material, seen before it reaches storage |
| Trends and alarms | trend reports in the software; alarms or color-coded graphs on your DCS |
Filter functions isolate a group of particles of interest for a targeted analysis, and the SOP feature runs your defined analysis continuously with no operator involved.
Where the CAMSIZER ONLINE stops — and what to take instead
The CAMSIZER ONLINE measures dry, free-flowing material from 30 µm to 30 mm, and it needs a sampling system to bring that material from the stream to the camera. For coarser streams — aggregates, ores, large granulate — the CAMSIZER ONLINE XL measures on line from 160 µm to 135 mm. If you need the measurement in the lab rather than on the line, the CAMSIZER 3D measures 3D size and shape at the bench from 20 µm to 30 mm, and the CAMSIZER XL takes coarse samples up to 135 mm. For powders finer than 30 µm, or samples in suspension, look at the CAMSIZER X2+ or the Microtrac SYNC.
