HAVER-CPA Photo-Optical Particle Analyser

The HAVER-CPA measuring system is protected by national and international patents:DBP-No. DE 41 19 240 C2, EP-No. 0 518 188 B1, US Patent 5,309,215 and other foreign patents.

Using fibre optic technology, this high-resolutionmeasuring unit has been developed for particle size and shape analysis of dry and individual, non agglomerating particles in bulk materials.

Thanks to the HAVER & BOECKER REAL TIME function, it can also be used as particle counting device. This new technology guaranties that all particles are detected and analyzed. The common ‘double-count’ caused by overlapping matrix-pictures in other systems are eliminated using this new technology. Faulty analysis due to undersize particles is also excluded. The digital CCD Line Camera calculates the equivalent of more than 24 Mega pixels of a Matrix camera. It can generate very large pictures of 128 Mega pixels and more.

The HAVER CPA analyzes and calculates up to 10,000 particles per second. The particle size and shape calculations are performed pixel by pixel, independent of the angle of the particle. The unit can store each single particle, with all particle shape values. This single particle storage enables analmost infinite grading of the size classes. All particles can be stored as TIF image files for further analysis. The hardware offers a pixel size of 10 µm and guarantees an extremely high resolution even with ultra-fine particle mixtures.

HAVER CPA uses an internal bus control that allows connection to any professional bus network. All CPA units can be integrated into an online process without any additional alteration.

The technology is nearly maintenance free, durableand developed for online use. It has been successfully used with many different materials and is established for use as a laboratory or online unit in industrial are as such as pharmaceutical, food, coal, quarries, plastic, abrasives, dust particle analysis and many others.
