In industries where dry powder analysis is essential, such as pharmaceuticals, cement production, additive manufacturing, and beyond, accuracy, efficiency, and adaptability are key. But until now, most dry powder systems have been bulky, stationary, and difficult to fit into fast-paced or mobile work environments.
To this end, Vision Analytical Incorporated is excited to introduce the Raptor Portable Dry Powder Analyzer - the first system of its kind designed to deliver high-performance dry powder analysis in a truly portable format.

Why Portability Matters in Dry Powder Analysis
Traditional dry powder systems often require transporting samples to a separate lab for analysis - a step that can lead to:
- Risk of sample contamination
- Wasted time
- Slower, less efficient production workflows
The Raptor Portable Dry Powder Analyzer offers a smarter alternative. It brings advanced particle size and shape analysis directly to where it’s needed - whether that’s on the production line, in a clean room, or out in the field. This means faster insights, fewer disruptions, and more confident decision-making right at the point of need.
Key Features of the Raptor Portable Dry Powder Analyzer
- Thumbnail Images - With thumbnail images as objective evidence of what’s in your sample, you don’t need to be an expert to SEE what’s happening in your process and make a decision in the field.
- Truly Portable - Lightweight, compact design that fits into existing workflows without disruption.
- High-Precision Measurement - Leveraging dynamic image analysis to deliver particle size and shape information with exceptional accuracy.
- Rugged Design - Built for mobility while maintaining the robustness needed for industrial environments.
- User-Friendly Interface & Tools - Intuitive dashboard with tools allowing for FAST decision-making in the field. No experts required.
