For measuring the transmission value of preforms, Colour Consult introduces the new P1 desktop instrument for quality control.

 

The instrument measures how much light passes through a preform or plastic cap. From transparent (100% transmission) to very dark, almost opaque preforms (0,1%).

 

Small changes in transmission values are detected in an early stage minimizing waste and valuable production time. No more human errors during visual inspection.
