IMPROVE YOUR PROCESS MONITORING WITH INLINE UV-VIS SPECTROPHOTOMETRY


UV-Vis spectroscopy is a powerful tool for accurately analysing the composition and stability of coloured materials (solid, liquid, suspension or molten). Our devices are used world-wide to monitor the production of high-tech composite materials, biopolymers, recyclables & bulk-plastics.

In-line spectroscopy provides valuable process insight and characterisation, can increase efficiency and up-time, improve quality and reduce waste. ColVisTec’s optical probes and software tools enable real-time batch quality control and closed-loop continuous process control.

Our product-contacting optical probes are compatible with all types of extrudates, including fibres, films, sheets, laminates and powders.

FIBER OPTIC TECHNOLOGY

INSTALLATION


Our in situ spectroscopy technology does not disrupt the production process. Fiber optic probes can be easily installed into existing hardware using industry standard connections.

Our probes are installed at one or more measurement points and can be placed up to 20 meters from the spectrometer.

One spectrometer can simultaneously monitor two independent production lines at a time.

Once installed, analyse every batch, every second, from start to finish.


  1. Probe tip: standard Dynisco thread 1/2”-20 UNF
  2. Sapphire window (self cleaning by material flow)
  3. Separate fiber optic for easy calibration
  4. Temperature: ≤ 350 °C
  5. Pressure: ≤ 200 bar
