Oxford Lasers Launches the VisiSize P15+
An Improved Portable Droplet-Sizing System for Spray Analysis
10 May 2023 (Oxford, England) - Oxford Lasers is pleased to announce the release of its newest droplet-sizing system, the VisiSize P15+, an improved portable in-field spray analyzer. The VisiSize P15+ has taken the original design of the P15 and increased its capabilities for analysing droplets, particles and bubbles with shorter pulse duration for increased velocity range.
Real-time droplet characterization
Dr. Seamus Murphy, Manager-Imaging Division, Oxford Lasers, added “The VisiSize P15+ is popular with agrochemical Industry and nozzle manufacturers. They have found its compact size and versatile capabilities make it easy to use right where they are spraying or testing their products – whether in the field or in the lab. Our analysis system can be used to understand real-world application issues like ‘spray drift’. Manufacturers need to quantify the spray quality of both nozzles and spray application systems to minimize environmental contamination. The VisiSize P15+ is a simple, powerful tool to help them reduce waste and optimise their own product development”.
Agrochemical industry pressure to provide evidence
Seamus explained “We’re finding industries are under greater pressure from increasing regulatory and environmental requirements, particularly in the agrochemical sector, to provide increased education and support to applicators with evidence of effective control for efficient product application and drift mitigation. The VisiSize P15+ gives them that – an outdoor portable spray analysis system with immediate reporting and downloads. The improved compact design and new spray protection means that VisiSize P15+ can be used on a wider array of applications“.
Multiple sector applications
Seamus continued “It’s not just for in-field analysis. The VisiSize P15+ can also be used in the lab. That makes it a powerful imaging tool for other industries that need droplet sizing analysis - such as automotive, fire suppression, and food & beverage. They all need to understand the same droplet qualities to ensure effective delivery of their product”.
Long-standing history of innovation
Martyn Knowles, CEO, Oxford Lasers, concluded “Oxford Lasers has a long-standing history of innovation with advanced technology and manufacturing. Our VisiSize P15+ is an example of how our Imaging Division has utilised our in-depth knowledge of optics and photonics and applied it to industrial applications. Our imaging systems provide understanding that otherwise would be unknown”.
