Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming a scientist Treeless to our laboratory for a dedicated feasibility testing session.
During this visit, we processed cellulose suspensions using our demo LM20-30 Microfluidizer. The objective was to evaluate the machine ability to efficiently deagglomerate cellulose fibres and reduce overall particle size.
To evaluate the process efficiency, we combined two complementary analytical techniques available in our laboratory:
- Optical microscopy to observe fibre deagglomeration, particle morphology and size reduction
- Laser diffraction to assess particle size reduction
The results clearly demonstrated the effectiveness of the Microfluidizer in breaking fibre agglomerates down and improving suspension homogeneity. These findings confirm the potential of Microfluidizer technology for cellulose suspension processing and related applications.
We are always pleased to support our partners in evaluating new processes and technologies.
Feel free to contact us if you would like to test your own materials with our instruments.
