Meritics particle characterisation solutions for the Ceramics Industry
Particle characterisation is vital for ceramic industries as it dictates product quality, performance, and processing efficiency.
Particle Size Analysis using Laser Diffraction
Understanding particle size distribution ensures uniformity in properties like strength and shrinkage, crucial for product consistency. Meritics supply particle sizing solutions to customers working with both traditional and advanced ceramics
Particle Shape Analysis using Flow Imaging Microscopy
Particle shape influences packing density and flowability, impacting processing methods and final product properties. Meriitics offer a wide range of shape analysers, we offer stand alone units, modules to compliment your particle sizing and counting instrumentation and sizing instruments with shape analysis built in.
Surface Area Analysis using BET Analysers
Surface area measurement guides in optimising material reactivity and porosity, essential for functionalities like adsorption and catalysis. Meritics offer comprehensive range of surface area analysers.
Case study
We take pride in our reputation for producing high-quality ceramic tiles for both domestic and international markets. However, like any manufacturer, we faced challenges in maintaining consistent quality across our product line despite stringent quality control measures.
Our primary challenge was to reduce defects such as surface imperfections, color variations, and dimensional inconsistencies, which led to increased waste and customer dissatisfaction.
To tackle these challenges head-on, we decided to integrate image analysis technology into our quality control process.
Using Meritics specialist knowledge in particle characterisation instruments we were able to find the best solution to suit our needs. This was a FlowCam 5000, which measures particles in the range of 3 μm to 300 μm
By harnessing the power of image analysis technology, we transformed our quality control process, achieving greater accuracy, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
