Permanently aligned optical system
Our background in the aerospace industry gives us the technical know-how to develop an extremely rugged system. The 1190 has all optical components permanently mounted on a rigid cast iron baseplate. This design eliminates the need to ever realign the system, thus ensuring the highest level of performance.

Short bench concept
The integration of a CCD camera offers customers the ability to measure an extended range of samples while maintaining a short bench design. This unique design provides for a more rugged and reliable analysis tool. The short bench concept allows CILAS to significantly extend the measurement range without increasing the size of the instrument.

View particle shape along with particle size
Adding a CCD camera allows the CILAS 1190 to gather particle shape information along with the traditional particle size distribution data. Our Particle Expert software includes extended calculation models for the shape characterization of your product.

Shape Analysis using a CCD camera

Integrated wet and dry mode
Change from wet to dry mode in software with just the click of the mouse. Our innovative design eliminates the need for the operator to swap hardware when switching modes.

Free fall module
The 1190 includes a free fall module for customers wishing to analyze samples in their naturally agglomerated state.

Compliant with ISO 13320 and 21 CFR–Part11
The 1190 is compliant with the ISO 13320 standard for particle size analyzers as well as the 21 CFR-Part 11.
