World premiere for a new laboratory mixer, and more
The new EL5 laboratory mixer (photo) is smaller, more lightweight and “smarter” than its predecessor, while delivering the same high levels of performance and robustness. The 5-L machine features easy operation, scalability, integrated tilt adjustment and options for day-to-day laboratory operations. These include recipe management, data collection and network capability. The company is also exhibiting its digital solutions for process optimization, which use autonomous analysis tools, artificial-intelligence (AI)-based process assistance systems, and — as a new feature — product characterization with deep learning. Already presented last year as a specialist solution for granulation, QualiMaster VC1 is equipped with a special camera that continuously records, processes and analyzes images from the product conveyor belt. In the process, the system identifies and calculates numerous parameters and product properties from the images. The new QualiMaster VC2 features a universal camera system for automatic trend detection via AI-based image analysis. Hall A4, Stand 403 — Maschinenfabrik Gustav Eirich GmbH & Co.
