Compact online colour measurement of granulates in the plastics industry
When using granulates, the integration of colour measurement technology directly in the production process has become increasingly popular. Measurement technology solutions for bulk materials such as granulates make it possible to detect colour deviations and automatically take countermeasures.
The advantages are obvious: immediate intervention in the production process, prevention of rejects and savings in resources. 100% monitoring and assurance of colour quality is guaranteed.
In addition to its PC-based system, ColorLite GmbH, which specialises in colour measurement technology, has launched a further and very compact variant for measuring bulk materials. The new colour measurement system consists of the IPM evaluation unit combined with a smaller measuring chamber. This is automatically filled by extracting the material to be measured from the production process. The colour spectrum is recorded by the measuring system's sensor through a window in the measuring chamber. The data is forwarded directly to the connected process control system. The compact design makes subsequent integration into existing systems possible without any problems.
The major advantage of the new system is that it can be operated, analysed and controlled at the measuring station without the need for a PC. The IPM has a brilliant and clear touch display for visualisation, which is easy to operate even for inexperienced users.
As with all devices from this manufacturer, LEDs are used for the lighting, which makes the technology robust, low-maintenance and durable.
