HPAS-2000 Particle Analyzer

This system uses a standard light microscope, digital camera, capture card, and Hockmeyer's proprietary MicroPart Software for accurate particle distribution information. The HPAS-2000 has the ability to measure any type of pigment or particle, including carbon black and transparent particles.
Additional Information

System Features:

  • Simple to operate
  • Affordable
  • Minimal waste
  • Reliable Repeatability
  • Available in Black & White or Full Color
  • Capable of networking within multiple facilities

MicroPart Software:

A simple to use Windows application performs particle analysis via a high performance frame grabber. The image is then analyzed via image processing algorithms to extract each particle and evaluate its diameter.

  • Export histograms and data to MS-Excel spreadsheets
  • Generate graphs, images and histograms for product evaluation
  • Each particle is individually analyzed
  • Particles are classified based on the size of the patricle in number area and volume distributions
  • Plot mean particle size and distribution
  • Saves standards and overlay standard histograms for quick comparison

The HPAS-2000 is very simple in both concept and use. It uses a standard light microscope fitted with a black and white or color digital camera and a black and white or color capture card to give the operator live video of the sample on the slide (within the visible wave length of light). The operator adjusts the light intensity and focus on the microscope and freezes the image; once the image is frozen the analysis begins. The HPAS gives the operator the ability to view live images, collect size data and store this information in standard operating software such as Excel is very important to any company that is interested in particle size distribution. For a company that still uses the Hegman or equivalent gages, this technology allows them to predict physical properties of their products by using information generated on the entire particle distribution instead of just the largest particle size found on the grind gage.
