Using Dustmon to measure dust concentration in livestock feed additives

Dust cloud analysis can be used to characterise the physical and behavioural properties of a pulverulent product in the same way as particle density, grain size analysis, etc. Until recently, the Heubach method was considered the benchmark technique for this “behavioural measurement”. The limitations of this method have been comprehensively discussed (i’Tec_Q5). The last few years have seen the development of other (all fairly similar) methods based on light obscuration analysis. Tecaliman has conducted this study on one of these methods in order to assess its potential.
