World's first combined inline spectrometer platform: "GiANT" includes: UV-VIS + NIR + RAMAN
“GiANT” the "3 in 1" spectroscopy platform is made for the application directly in the extruder. It is made for the realtime detection of effects in the extrusion and/or mixing processes. The combination of UV-VIS, NIR and RAMAN spectroscopy allows to identify process drifts, color changes, yellowing/degradation, distribution and dispersion quality, footprints, influence of feeders and pumps as well of the raw material on the quality of the processed product as well on process stability.
The integration of the inline monitoring system into an existing process requires a 1/2"-20UNF bore, where the sapphire window of the probe allows to see the processed procuts in the melt or mixing stage. Measurements are performed on opaque as well on transparent materials. The probes are made for the use at temperatures up to 400 °C, pressures up to 250 bar in the process, and friction through flowing material. The self-cleaning function of the sapphire window is ensured by the shear force of the material flow. Ideal installation is directly into the melt stream at the die-plate, in an adapter or flange.
The a stainless steel box of the instrument is designed and equipped specifically for the application in the production environment, where the ambient conditions can be dusty, vary in temperature, subject to vibration etc. The box also contains a thermoelectric cooling and heating device to eliminate the influences from ambient temperature by keeping the temperature inside the box at a constant level. With this day/night as well winter/summer temperature effects are compensated.
ColVisTec proudly launches the world's first combined "UV-VIS + NIR" inline fiber optic probe made for all type of extruder applications e.g. polymer extrusion, recycling, as PAT for hot melt extrusion, reactive extrusion, chemicals, powder coatings (in mixers and extruders), food extrusion, pet food extrusion etc.
