Application of Laser Particle Size Analyzer in the Water-soluble Fat Industry

Water-soluble fat, also known as water-based lubricating greases, are widely used in industry. Its core value lies in its excellent cooling, lubrication, and cleaning performance, and it is easy to clean with water. It is mainly used as a coolant in metal processing (such as cutting and grinding), as well as in industries such as textiles, food, and medicine that require high cleanliness and biodegradability. It effectively replaces traditional oil-based greases and meets the dual requirements of efficient production and environmental protection.

Testing the particle size distribution of water-soluble fat (usually in emulsion form) is a core aspect of their quality control, and its importance is mainly reflected in the following three aspects:

1. Particle size distribution directly determines the physical stability and shelf life of a product. If the particle size is too large or the distribution is too wide, the lipid particles are prone to aggregation and floating, leading to emulsion stratification or demulsification, causing product failure. Uniform, fine particles, on the other hand, can maintain long-term stability through Brownian motion.

2. It profoundly affects application performance. Particle size influences lubricity, cooling efficiency, and cleaning ability. Smaller, more uniform particles have a larger specific surface area, which improves heat transfer efficiency and lubrication, while also allowing for better penetration and removal of debris in metal processing.

3. It relates to the adaptability to actual processes. In circulating cooling systems, appropriate particle size can effectively prevent clogging of filters, nozzles, and pipes, ensuring a continuous and stable production process.

Therefore, strictly controlling particle size distribution is crucial to ensuring the quality, performance, and reliability of water-soluble greases.

Laser particle size analyzers are a core tool for quality control in the water-soluble fat industry. They rapidly and accurately measure the particle size distribution of grease particles in emulsions, directly assessing product stability and preventing stratification. Simultaneously, they optimize lubrication and cooling performance and are used for real-time monitoring during production to ensure batch consistency, making them a key technology for improving product quality.

This time, Winner2018 is recommended to test the particle size distribution of water-soluble fat. Winner2018 is a popular product with high cost performance. It has the advantages of easy operation, fast test speed, good repeatability and accuracy. The measurement range is 0.1-450μm. It is mainly used to test the particle size of water-insoluble metal powders, non-metal powders, other powders and solutions.
