Innovative Foam Analysis Technology
The Krüss Dynamic Foam Analyzer - DFA100FSM leverages advanced video image analysis to capture detailed bubble size and distribution metrics essential for the production of high-quality foam. This cutting-edge module enables producers to precisely shape their foam’s structure, offering insights into foam decay well before collapse, aiding in the enhancement of foam stability.
Wide Application Scope
Suitable for a diverse range of applications, including washing and cleaning foams, foams in food and personal care products, surfactant development, and flotation processes, the DFA100FSM caters to a broad spectrum of industrial needs.
Comprehensive Measuring Methods
Employing optically detected foam creation heights for analyzing foamability and stability, along with stirring cycles for assessing foam formation behavior in heavily foaming liquids, the DFA100FSM provides a thorough understanding of foam dynamics. Its advanced measurement capabilities extend to moisture and drainage behavior analysis through electrical conductivity, alongside detailed bubble size and distribution statistics.
Robust Software and Instrumentation
The integration with Krüss’s ADVANCE software simplifies operation with an intuitive user interface and powerful automation for repeat measurements. Offering a complete suite of data relating to foam height, structure, and liquid content, this analyzer represents a significant advancement in foam analysis technology.
