The production of calcium carbonate is of enormous importance for many industries, as it is an important component of many products. Calcium carbonate is mainly obtained by processing natural deposits, such as limestone, marble or chalk, or by synthetic processes such as precipitated calcium carbonate, also known as PCC. The process steps include extraction, crushing, grinding, purification, thickening and refining.
Precise & reproducible microwave measurement
Measuring the total solids or slurry density of calcium carbonate during production is crucial for maintaining product quality, optimising processes, ensuring regulatory compliance, enhancing product performance and troubleshooting any issues that may arise during manufacturing. It plays a vital role in the overall efficiency, reliability, and success of calcium carbonate production across various industries. With the Micro-Polar LB 566 measurement system from Berthold it is possible to measure the density or total solids with high repeatability and accuracy, thus guaranteeing stable and reliable process control throughout the entire process.
