March 26, 2026

Spectro PMD This new Ampacet technology — the name stands for Pellet Measurement Device — provides real-time measurement of plastic granules. A vibratory feeder passes granules under a spectrophotometric probe and issues instant alerts for deviations. The Spectro PMD autonomously analyzes granules in real-time with zero waste, and is designed to withstand heat, dust and vibrations.

What's new? The Spectro PMD. 

Benefits Lab-grade color testing, suitable for the production line. This ensures consistent color quality.
