Process spectroscopy, moisture & miniature NIR
Real-time process analytical technology (PAT) that measures composition and moisture in-line, so you control quality as you make it instead of testing afterwards. Spinco supplies, integrates and supports tec5 PROGAZE spectrometers, Liebherr Litronic moisture sensors and NIRONE miniature NIR.

How it works
A probe mounted in the process line shines light into the moving product. The product absorbs some wavelengths depending on what it contains.
The returning light travels through a fibre to the spectrometer, which splits it into wavelengths. The result is a spectrum, a chemical fingerprint of the sample, every few seconds.
A calibrated model turns the spectrum into numbers you can act on, such as moisture or concentration. These go straight to your control system for real-time release and tighter process control.
