Plastics, a key sector for the company

Konica Minolta Sensing’s participation at Plast 2015 confirmed the importance of the plastic materials sector for this company, which focuses not only on the quality of its products, but also on the efficiency and speed of its advising and after-sales services. “Plast has become a fixture on our trade fair calendar. In fact, we have long been operating in the plastic industry in the field of quality control thanks to our full range of portable and benchtop spectrophotometers for colour measurement, and more recently, thanks to the Colibrì software, also in the field of colour formulation, which is where we currently see the greatest potential for development,” remarked Renato Figini, manager and sales director of the Japanese company’s Italian branch.

Indeed, Colibrì software currently stands out as one of the highest performing systems thanks to its ease of use, speed and efficiency. “Colibrì can offer compounders and masterbatch producers extremely interesting margins of advantage, thanks to its versatile features and high precision, which make it possible to obtain exact formulas that guarantee process optimisation and cost savings,” added Figini. To increase the accessibility of these advantages, the company is making Colibrì available to plastics processors for assessment tests too.  “Certainly, we count Colibrì among our priorities, and this is the reason we have made this product the  focus of the message we put across at Plast 2015”, ended Figini.

Konica Minolta Sensing’s other products for the plastics sector include specific instruments for any necessity, both in portable and benchtop versions, such as the “top-port” CM-5 benchtop spectrophotometer and the CM-700d/600d family, which qualifies as the new generation of portable spectrophotometers, thanks to the wireless technology and colour display. The company’s portable spectrophotometers were recently incorporated into automatic, continuous measurement lines, and were found to run smoothly and absolutely reliably.
