Come and See Us at WineTech 2005!

Colour is perceived subjectively by humans in the visible spectrum. Colour instruments allow objective measurement in the same spectral region.

Come and see why HunterLab are THE colour measurement experts to the Food and Beverage Industry worldwide, and how HunterLab instruments can help you repeatably, consistently and easily measure the colour of your wine - White, red and rose on the same instrument!

We are also exhibiting Krüss Optronic refractometers - A few drops of wine placed on the refractometer prism and the refractive index is measured. Dissolved solids can then be determined in seconds.

And have a good look at the Accuvin quick test kits for determining pH, Titratable Acidity, Malic Acid, Lactic Acid, Residual Sugar and Free Sulphur Dioxide - No expensive instrumentation, rather a simple, easy and reliable method of testing wine characteristics.

See you Wednesday 20th to Friday 22nd July 2005 in the Jubilee Hall at the RAS Showground in Adelaide!

NEW CON-TROL-CURE UV LED Cure-All Units

Con-Trol-Cure is proud to announce the next generation of the patent-pending UV LED Cure-All™. This UV LED lamp has been curing samples at astounding rates and is the first commercial UV LED that truly works.

This amazing new lamp can simply perform in ways that current lamps cannot. In order to truly maximize the potential of this lamp technology, you need to forget all of your current assumptions in regards to how UV curing works. This lamp technology defies accepted UV curing limitations. It is simply doing what it should not be allowed to do. It's curing faster. It's power consumption is minimal. The mechanism of cure is operating beyond current standards, due to the fact that this lamp is 100% efficient.

UV curing without heat! Can be used on Heat sensitive substrates (films, foils, DVDs, CDs, etc.) UV curing without radiometers! Consistent lamp output for the first 50,000 hours! UV curing without replacement lamps! Keep your line running - no downtime!

Testprint Universal Inking Unit

The Universal Inking Unit was specifically developed to handle process colours in the laboratory to produce even ink layers on a printing disc in the shortest possible time. This is especially important for tests where ink drying and ink setting on paper plays an important role.

The surface speed with this inking unit can be adjusted between 10-100 m/min and the roller system can be thermostated with a normal water bath. Distribution rollers for UV inks are available on request.

The printing discs are attached to special levers and can be removed easily. All components, including the covers, are manufactured from high grade stainless steel for durability and ease of cleaning. The rubber covered distribution rollers store inside the machine in special brackets.

The Universal Inking Unit is the most modern and sophisticated solution in inking up printing discs for all common printability tests and applications.

Rudolph Instruments - A complete line of automatic saccharimeters

Rudolph Instruments, one of the most well-known manufacturers of Polarimeters and Saccharimeters, now offers a complete line up of versatile automatic saccharimeters:

DigiPol - DS11 for 'With Lead' polarization of refined or clarified sugar at 589 nm

DigiPol - DS21 for 'Without Lead' NIR polarization of raw sugar at 880 nm primarily, but can also be adapted for use 'With Lead' by a quick interchange filter for 589 nm

DigiPol - DS41 two filter (589/880nm) NIR version for polarization 'With Lead' or 'without Lead' with automatic switch over between 589 and 880 nm.

DigiPol Automatic Saccharimeters are attractively styled and are very convenient to use. They are microprocessor-based and are packed with some of the most needed facilities built in such as internal plumbing with "No Leak" couplings for coolant circulation, PC Interface, and the provision for an optional printer and temperature measurement.

Co.Fo.Me.Gra's DR 848 Colour Densitometer - The COMPLETE densitometer

These days, the densitometer is indispensable in the printing industry due to the ever greater demands of print quality.

Co.Fo.Me.Gra's DR 848 is the most complete colour reflection densitometer on the market, with capabilities never offered before in a densitometer.

This instrument allows you to automatically measure every variable known to affect the quality and consistency of colour reflection - Absolute Density, Relative Density, Density Difference, Percent Dot, Dot Gain, Gray Balance, Trapping and Print Contrast.

Do you know of any other colour reflection densitometer which measures in transmission, too, on your light table? The DR848 allows you to also measure transparencies, dot area percentages on screened films and film densities.
