Modular System
Developed by Hosokawa Alpine, the Picoline series offers a highly adaptable modular platform specifically designed for fine milling, classifying, and mixing ultra-small batches of powders or suspensions. This unique system supports early-stage R&D by enabling precise processing on a very small scale, making it ideal for research institutes and R&D departments in various industries.
Compact, Ergonomic Design
The Picoline platform is housed in a sleek, brushed stainless steel casing, making it easy to clean and durable. With its compact, ergonomic tabletop design, the Picoline platform fits comfortably inside standard laboratory fume hoods, conserving lab space. The platform is designed to house all necessary controllers and components, with a standardized media supply adapter that eliminates the need for tubing. This design allows researchers to switch between modules with minimal downtime, streamlining the lab workflow and enhancing operational flexibility.
Seamless Scalability
Picoline technology is based on Hosokawa Alpine's proven industrial processes, making it easy to scale up any process developed on a Picoline machine to larger, industrial-sized applications. This scalability gives researchers confidence that their lab-scale experiments can translate smoothly to production environments.
User-Friendly Controls
The Picoline system is controlled via a touch-panel interface with an integrated microprocessor, which provides intuitive operation and immediate access to stored control logic for each function module. The system's display shows real-time data, system flowcharts, trend curves, and settings, allowing users to monitor and optimize their processes easily. The platform also features LAN connectivity for remote control, LIMS system integration, and data export via USB for flexible data management
