In the production of solid-to-viscous materials such as gelatin, syrup and plastic, the mass is continuously compressed under pressure in extruders and extruded as a strand. During this process, the material must not heat up too much, otherwise it will burn, which would result in undesirable discolouration. For this reason, colour sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used to precisely measure the colour of the extruded materials, therefore maximising product quality.
