Description

Vinci Technologies has developed a comprehensive range of catalysis mechanical testers designed to evaluate the mechanical robustness of catalyst materials under realistic operating conditions. These instruments are essential for assessing catalyst durability during handling, loading, transport, and operation in industrial reactors. Catalyst mechanical testers measure key properties such as crushing strength, attrition resistance, and particle integrity. The Catalyst Grain and Bulk Crushing Strength Tester evaluates the resistance of individual catalyst particles or catalyst beds to compressive forces. It provides critical data on mechanical strength and uniformity. The Rotating Tube and Rotating Drum Attrition Testers simulate mechanical stresses caused by friction, collisions, and movement during reactor operation. These tests help predict catalyst fines generation and long-term stability. The FCC Catalyst Attrition Tester is specifically designed to assess fluid catalytic cracking catalysts under severe fluidization conditions. It reproduces high-velocity gas flows and cyclic stresses typical of FCC units. Together, these testers support catalyst selection, quality control, and process optimization. Vinci Technologies’ solutions are widely used by catalyst manufacturers, research centers, and refineries worldwide.
