Both systems are built for Blaine air permeability testing of cement fineness and specific surface area, but they serve different lab styles. The BlaineGen Classic is the simpler, more cost-conscious option with digital timing and calculation plus conventional sample handling. The automated BlaineGen Plus adds a touchscreen workflow, automatic sample-weight calculation, automatic liquid handling, data storage, and PC export, so it is better suited to labs that want fewer operator steps and more standardized testing.

In practical terms, choose Classic when you want an easy-to-adopt instrument for routine cement fineness checks, reference cement comparisons, and existing Blaine procedures. Choose Plus when you want more automation, onboard memory for many test records, selectable methods and cement types, and built-in warnings for temperature control.
