In industries where dry powder analysis has a crucial function, such as additive manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and cement manufacturing, flexibility and efficiency are essential. However, legacy dry powder systems are stationary, large, and difficult to integrate into dynamic working environments.

Vision Analytical is proud to announce its innovative new model, the Raptor Portable Dry Powder Analyzer. This is the first dry powder system designed specifically for portability without sacrificing performance.
Why Portability Matters in Dry Powder Analysis
Traditional dry powder systems need powders to be transported to the analysis lab. This process could potentially lead to:
- Sample contamination
- Critical time loss
- Lower efficiency rates in production workflows
Vision Analytical’s new analyzer enables operators, engineers, and quality control specialists to provide advanced dry powder analysis directly in the necessary place, whether that’s in a clean room, in field applications, or on a production floor.
Key Features of the Raptor Portable Dry Powder Analyzer
- Truly Portable: This analyzer has a lightweight and compact design that seamlessly fits into existing workflows.
- High-Precision Measurement: Leveraging dynamic image analysis, DIA delivers information about particle size and shape with high accuracy.
- User-Friendly Interface and Tools: The intuitive dashboard with tools allows for fast decision-making in the field, without necessitating expert intervention.
- Versatile Application: Engineered to perform reliably across a wide range of powders, such as cement powders, specialty chemicals, pharmaceutical excipients, and more.
- Rugged Design: Built for mobility and portability while retaining the necessary robustness for industrial environments.
- Thumbnail Images: Thumbnail images provide objective evidence of what is in a sample, so no experts are needed to ascertain what is happening in the process and make a decision in the field.
