Innovation award for Malvern's Insitec system
The Malvern Insitec Voyager on-line particle size analyser, with Malvern Link automation software, was named winner of the Most Innovative Product category in this year's Asia Pacific Coatings Show awards, held in May in Kuala Lumpur.
The Insitec Voyager is a mobile system that can be attached to fixed sampling ports at a variety of points in a production line, or can be used to sample from several different production lines. The judges said it offers significant improvements in productivity together with savings in raw materials, labour and energy costs for powder production processes.
'I am delighted that Malvern's Insitec system has been recognised with this award,' said Dr George Crawley, business development manager for Malvern Process Systems. 'With manufacturing industry now focused on process optimisation and process intensification, on-line measurements that bring process understanding and real-time control are of increasing value.'
