Firing Industries is Canada’s source for powder processing technologies by Hosokawa Micron. Among the manufacturer’s innovative products is the Mikro Air Jet Sieve model MAJSx2, a highly accurate, reliable particle size analyzer built to determine the particle-size distribution of dry powders from 20 to 4,750 micrometres.
This economical solution by Hosokawa Micron is a boon to applications in several industries, including chemicals, minerals, pharmaceuticals, food processing, plastics, and cosmetics.
Used by labs worldwide
The MAJSx2 is a very versatile particle size analyzer that hundreds of laboratories around the world are using, testing thousands of materials. This device is typically used to determine dry-powder particle sizes, sometimes the average size below a predetermined cut point. Some companies use it to confirm that a powder top size does not exceed product specifications. Another possible use is as a small lab scale classifier to cut fine portions out of samples.
Easy to operate, the MAJSx2 can quickly determine the particle size of a powdered sample with a short series of sieve screens. The device uses a pneumatic sieving principle that enhanced the accuracy and reproducibility of particle-size analysis. As negative pressure draws all particles below a specific particle size through a test sieve screen, a positive airflow moves upwards through a rotating wand, dispersing undersized particles and carrying them to a vacuum collector. This is a preferred method for quality assurance of raw materials, process control, and confirming final product specifications.
