Eyecon2 is a particle sizing and characterising system which can be used both in-line and at-line for batch production and continuous processes.

Eyecon2 can provide real-time particle size and shape information essential for process understanding and control. Its non-product-contact GMP design makes integration on most processing equipment very simple, commonly using existing viewing ports and therefore requiring no revalidation of the equipment.

Capture the real-time data analysis and profile of your powders and bulk solids with Eyecon2. Troubleshoot and improve end-product goals with particle size and shape data. Adopt automated process control to drive down production cost. Non-product contact measurement minimises risk with hazardous materials. At-line and in-line configurations allow transition from benchtop to in-line integration and evolve with your needs.

Common In-line ApplicationsBenefitsUsage Areas
• Fluid bed granulation
• Fluid bed coating
