Reliably detect light transmission

Monday, 10. April 2017

Correct detection of light transmission saves a lot of money


When manufacturing containers, it is critical to protect a product's contents from the harmful effects of light - both visible and non-visible - that shorten shelf life. The solution is EMX Industries' OPAX sensor - a turbidity monitoring sensor that ensures a 100% quality controlled production process.

Trübheitsmessung Kunststoffbehälter

The OPAX detects the light transmission of a plastic container to determine if the opacity has reached the desired level, ensuring the integrity of the product inside. By receiving real-time output from the OPAX, immediate action can be taken to adjust the product mixing system and minimize waste. This results in huge cost savings for manufacturers as less material (such as the container dye titanium dioxide) is used in the production process.

The OPAX eliminates the need for time-consuming visual inspections and costly laboratory equipment, and is a cost-effective way to check every product container on every line for zero defects.

This turbidity verification sensor can be used in a variety of applications including:

  • Pharmaceutical HDPE containers
  • Thermoformed/injection molded bottles
  • LDPE bottle production
  • Food packaging
  • Composite films
  • Beverage container production
