Colour Measurement of Powdered Chemicals, Pellets, and Granules

Whether or not colour is a primary characteristic, colour measurement is used as a tool for quality and process control tool for the chemical industry. Checking the depth of black or the whiteness of whites at goods-in can help companies to better predict the end product, improving consistency and helping to simplify processes.

Specifying, agreeing to deliver, and reporting colour is a USP that builds trust with customers and helps to protect and grow relationships with your customers. 

Konica Minolta Measuring Instruments can be used to repeatably measure the colour of all manner of compounds throughout processing, using purpose-built accessories to aid in repeatable sample presentation for powder and granular samples. Driven by our long heritage in optical excellence and commitment to quality, our instruments feature industry leading inter instrument agreement for communicating and sharing colour data repeatably and traceably. 

Our instruments and software are easy to use whilst providing vital colour and colour difference data to operators in development laboratories, in production, or in quality control. Whether used for goods in, development, process control, or quality control, implementing colour data and colour communication can help optimise processes. Our experts can help you to establish a system that will ultimately reduce waste, whether this is by improving communication and tolerances with suppliers, spotting production issues that cause deviations early and being able to cost effectively correct them, or even removing some subjectivity from QC processes.

Our versatile benchtop spectrophotometers offer laboratories solutions for measuring virtually all substrates from powders or granules in petri dishes, to liquids in cuvettes. Whilst most applications in this field will be best served by the larger aperture of a benchtop instrument, our range of solutions also includes more portable solutions should your process require. Our experienced teams can recommend a solution, and our extensive service network can ensure that your instruments are maintained and traceable throughout their life.
