Can You Analyse the Particle Shape of Dry Powders?
We are regularly asked whether there is a solution for analysing the particle shape of dry powders.
While many dynamic image analysers require particles to be suspended in a liquid, analysing powders in their natural dry state has traditionally been much more challenging.
Until now.
Introducing the BeVision D3 Dry Powder Particle Size & Shape Analyser
The BeVision D3 Series is a fully automated particle size and shape analyser based on advanced Dynamic Image Analysis (DIA) technology. Designed specifically for dry powders, it delivers rapid, highly accurate particle size and morphology measurements for both research and quality control applications.
How Much of Your Sample Are You Really Seeing?
Traditional sieve analysis classifies particles by size—but tells you very little about their shape.
The BeVision D3 reveals far more.
Its intelligent dry dispersion system features automatic funnel height adjustment, intelligent feed rate control and optimised guide slot spacing to ensure consistent, repeatable particle dispersion.
Powered by high-speed dynamic imaging, the BeVision D3 captures high-resolution images of every particle across an exceptionally wide size range.
A dual-camera system provides complete particle coverage in a single measurement:
- Wide-field camera for larger particles
- High-magnification zoom camera for fine particles
This enables comprehensive particle size distribution and morphology analysis without compromising speed or accuracy.
Understand More Than Just Particle Size
The powerful analysis software automatically identifies and classifies complex particle morphologies, including:
- Rod-shaped particles
- Needle-shaped particles
- Near-spherical particles
- Irregular particles
These insights are invaluable for applications across:
- Plastics
- Additive manufacturing
- Agriculture
- Abrasives
- Petroleum catalysts
- Chemicals and advanced materials
After analysis, your sample is fully recovered in the integrated collection tray.
Faster Than Traditional Sieve Analysis
The BeVision D3 delivers complete particle size and shape results in as little as 1–3 minutes, compared with approximately 30 minutes for conventional sieve analysis.
A built-in correlation tool allows you to compare results directly with sieve data while providing significantly richer information through high-resolution particle imaging and morphology analysis.
Visualise Every Particle
The intuitive software enables you to explore your data with ease, including:
- Particle size distributions
- Particle shape distributions
- Particle population statistics
- Customisable reports
- A searchable image gallery showing every analysed particle
See exactly what your sample contains—not just how big the particles are.
