Lovibond® TA4 On-line Colour Analyser
A new generation of On-line colorimeters
For over 120 years The Tintometer
Ltd has been associated with the design and production of innovative
colour measurement systems for industries where colour is a factor in
the quality of the product. Our latest development, the TA4 On-line
Colour Analyser, is a system designed for the 'real time' continuous
analysis of colour within a production process environment such as the
edible oil or petroleum refinery.
The TA4 On-line is a highly accurate
spectrophotometric system that can be used for the measurement of constituent
concentrations, early detection of trace contaminants and quality assurance
analysis. In addition, analytical results can be fed back for
automatic proces control and optimisation. Real-time analysis
eliminates the delay in obtaining results, often avoiding costly rework
of product processed out of specification. Other benefits include
improved product quality, optimised chemical usage, elimination of human
error and reduced product costs.
The TA4 On-line can control up
to four measurement points outputting internationally recognised colour
coordinate systems such as CIELab and industry specific colour scales
as referenced by standardising bodies such as AOCS, DGF, ISO and ASTM.
Related parameters such as beta carotene and chlorophyll concentrations/greenness
can be derived simultaneously. The TA4 On-line system employs
fibre optics to keep the location of the key components and instrument
away from the process environment.
