General product information

Understand and Control Particles for Improved Quality and Performance

Particles and droplets are pervasive in the chemical, consumer products, and biopharmaceutical industries. Particles grow, agglomerate, break, dissolve, and change shape - all of which have an impact on process performance and product quality. Chemists and Chemical Engineers must understand and optimize particle size distribution to control process efficiency such as filtration rates, flow properties, or dissolution rates. In addition, particle size distributions must be well controlled to ensure repeatable product yield, purity, and bulk density.

METTLER TOLEDO FBRM® and PVM® technologies and expertise enable scientists and engineers to use real-time particle and droplet distribution measurement to make more informed, faster decisions. Knowledge of particle performance gained through FBRM® and PVM® technologies can cut months from development times, maximize process throughput, and optimize product quality. The application of FBRM® and PVM® ensures targeted particle distributions are achieved, robust repeatable processes are designed, downstream cycle times are maximized, and failures at pilot and manufacturing scale are eliminated.
