Floor Plan

The centerpiece of the inline process monitoring is the UV-VIS spectrophotometer "InSpectro X", this covers the wavelength range from 220 to 820 nm and this with a resolution of 1 nm over the entire spectrum. "InSpectro X" is designed with all its components to be robust enough to produce accurate and continuous measurements in the industrial production environment. The stainless steel housing is IP66 rated for protection against splashing water and dust. An integrated, powerful thermo-electric heating and cooling unit ensures constant temperature conditions inside the housing and thus for the optical components. It has two optical interfaces for the connection of two measuring probes for the simultaneous monitoring of two processes with one system. All COLVISTEC optical fiber probes (CP, RPMP, TPMP and others) can be connected to the "InSpectro X". The complete system is completed with a comprehensive software designed for process monitoring. This is easy to operate and easy to integrate into the process control, e.g. via software interface (OPC UA) or analog as current/voltage signals. Other software packages such as the residence time analysis (ReTA) software are also available. With ReTA it is easy to perform residence time measurements elegantly and to analyze them directly after the measurement. All this without taking samples and the associated time-consuming analytical work in the laboratory. All residence time relevant data (numerical as well as graphical) are available with one mouse click directly after the measurement, e.g. mean residence time, Bodenstein number, distribution of tracer amount over time, etc.

ColVisTec cooperates with the world's leading manufacturers in the paint, pharmaceutical, plastics and chemical industries. Our team of highly experienced engineers and scientists support these industries with reliable and industry-standard inline spectroscopy solutions combined with fiber optic probes for continuous process monitoring.

With the integration of inline spectrophotometers into production lines, the final processed product is measured directly in the process. This allows the entire production process to be monitored seamlessly in real time, based on the measurement data of the manufactured product. The production process is not disturbed, no samples are taken. This allows to achieve increases in productivity and quality. It becomes an integral part of digitalized manufacturing.

Our technology can be integrated into a wide range of processes. For this purpose, we combine our spectrometers with different probes for liquid, pasty, powdery or molten media in the process for temperatures up to 400 °C (752 °F) and process pressures up to 250 bar (3625 psi). With the standardized solutions it can be integrated very easily and quickly into existing production lines. Flexible hardware configurations and data output in various formats are possible.

Comprehensive and competent customer support as well as training options ensure a smooth transition from cumbersome, time- and labor-intensive offline measurement to fully automated inline process monitoring.

From our headquarters in Berlin, Germany, we support our products worldwide and work closely with our customers. In addition, we cooperate with other process equipment manufacturers to offer complete solutions. Usually our technology is integrated into existing production lines to increase their productivity and quality. We do not see ourselves as a hardware supplier, but as a provider of unique solutions that are specifically tailored to the processes of the customers.

We look forward to learn about your batch or continuous process and discuss the details for an inline process monitoring solution.

Realized applications: Plastics industry (compounding, reactive extrusion, recycling, powder coating, etc.), pharmaceutical industry as PAT in hot melt extrusion, paints and coatings industry in liquid media, etc.
