Inline powder analysis system
Ensure optimal powder quality with real-time measurement of moisture, density, and contaminants, enhancing production efficiency and product consistency.
Measures and Analyzes Powder Quality In-Line
The POWDEREYE® from GEA is an innovative in-line powder analyzer designed for food, beverage, dairy, and pharmaceutical industries. Positioned after the final drying stage, it continuously measures critical powder properties like residual moisture, dark particles, and density. This system integrates with your spray drying process to ensure optimal product quality by using high-resolution imaging and ATEX-compatible construction with stainless steel. The autosampling feature, controlled via touchscreen or SCADA system, collects and analyzes samples efficiently for consistent monitoring. Capable of detecting out-of-spec conditions, POWDEREYE® supports process optimization and quality supervision, enhancing throughput and reducing production downtime, while meeting industry standards for safety and performance.
