New Color Sensor Inspection
For Polymer Process Engineering
Seattle, WA, USA--(Jobwerx News)--Thermo Electron Corporation introduces
on-line quality control system for color inspection in the polymer industry.
Thermo Electron Corporation, the world leader in analytical instruments,
today introduced a new measuring system for the polymer industry that
features on-line quality control for color inspection. The pioneering
solution is integrated into the new HAAKE PolyLab OS torque rheometer
platform, which was introduced to the US market this year at the national
ANTEC technical conference.
Thermo’s Control Technologies business unit is a global provider of Temperature
Control and Material Characterization products. The Temperature Control
product line comprises precision liquid temperature control equipment
that includes recirculating baths, chillers and heat exchangers for laboratory
and process applications.
The modular HAAKE PolyLab Open System (OS) unit is an innovative torque
rheometer platform for polymer process engineering. The rheometer’s system
architecture has been designed on an open industry standard, allowing
a number of standardized sensors and systems to be connected to it for
optical, viscosity and spectroscopy measurements. Thermo’s goal is to
offer a wide range of new sensor applications for the HAAKE PolyLab OS
system so that customers’ varying needs can be met.
The PolyLab OS system’s newest sensor allows on-line control of color
changes that occur either due to polymer degradation or can be used for
color compound production. The sensor is available through the company’s
cooperation with Equitech in New Ellenton, SC, which developed the sensor
for real-time, on-line monitoring for color in the melt stream.
Equitech is a leading provider of spectrophotometers, software, and fiber-optic
probes for the measurement of color information in industrial processes.
Equitech serves paint, plastics, paper, textiles, leather, ceramic, food
& beverage and many other industries.
A fiber-optic probe is connected to the inside of the extruder die to
a spectrophotometer with a CCD sensor to allow on-line monitoring of color
changes in the melt stream. Two different probes are available, one for
opaque materials, the other for clear and translucent melts. On-line control
saves time for pellet sampling, and eliminates the need for off-line quality
control in the laboratory.
