Tecnopails Launches the Matrix series filling system with Rexson Paint Dispensing

Robert Tickner • September 19, 2022

Tecnopails, the dedicated filling division of IM GROUP (formerly Inkmaker Group), has launched a new feed and closure filling-line series—with a specific line dedicated for integration with Rexson’s ColorPoint paint dispenser.

 

The robust system, capable of expanding from manual through to fully automatic solutions, was named the “Matrix” due to its ability to be easily configured through a variety of adjustable modules. One such module is the Matrix+Rexson/Colorpoint created especially for integration with IM GROUP’s “Easypaint” solution. The Easypaint concept is IM GROUP’s most flexible and complete range of automatic dispensing solutions, tailored to meet precise performance and productivity targets while maximising available space and minimising manpower.

 

“This is yet another example of IM GROUP’s brands working in unison to achieve innovation for the group. The Matrix has been in the research and planning stage since early last year, and we were very proud to launch it at Eurocoat Paris this year. The series features some of the latest IIoT touchscreen and industry-4.0-smart technology from Inkmaker’s renowned software and automation team. We’d particularly like to congratulate all our colleagues involved on this momentous achievement,” commented Gianluca Incerti, Global Director of Sales, IM GROUP.
 
The Matrix comes just three months after Tecnopails launched the "Lavelli A21", for coupling lids with latches, which at the time made international news for being a world first for liquid paints.
 
“What makes the Matrix, feed and closure filling-line system, so innovative is that it is totally configurable through six variations of adjustable modules that enable the filling line system to be expanded from the manual M1 and M2 to the semi-automatic SA1 and SA2 or to fully automatic A1 and A2 solutions. This is undoubtably an attractive proposition for any client, be they large or small,” concluded Olivier Daulon, General Manager, Inkmaker France.
 
A special launch film was created by IM GROUP’s internal communication agency, THINK, to highlight the Matrix’s unique features and is for public viewing on the group’s YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNfFEtbc9peXZdmewXW3miQ

 

Tecnopails, which was acquired by IM GROUP early last year and specialises in the design and production of customised automated systems for dosing, sealing and labelling for Ink, paint and chemical containers.

Using Light Reflectance Value (LRV) in your compliance design: Managing contrast in a building

By Edwin Sim • May 23, 2025
Visually impaired people (VIP) encounter difficulties with perception of environments in everyday life. A door on a wall or a column on a station might be easily detected and seen, but it is an invisible hazard for VIP. With this in mind, Contrast therefore is an essential and vital tool for VIP to navigate in this world (Bright et al; 1997, Dalke et al; 2004). There are five key factors, according to Dalke and Conduit; 2010, which affect visual acuity (including contrast), for assessing the visibility of designs in a real world context. The colour contrast assessment model, developed by Dalke and Conduit enables designers, builders, consultants, developers to predict before and after installation whether a VIP is able to see an object, text or element of a building component. As outlined in AS1428.1 (2009) and AS 1428.4.1 (2009), contrast measurement is vital in building guidelines for design of environments and services for VIP. Therein the standards, the Light Reflectance Value (LRV) measurement must be measured using either a colourimter or a spectrophotometer with diffused illumination using Illuminant D65. LRV is measured through the visible colour spectrum, which is beyond what can be distinguished by the human eye alone. Measurement of LRV refers to both colour and appearance of the sample and uses geometric principles that relate to additional attributes such as gloss or shine. Spectrophotometers that are used to measure these characteristics typically utilises: Diffuse d/8° Sphere, specular reflectance included Diffuse d/8° Sphere, specular reflectance excluded In addition, the instrument has to be capable of measuring CIE for Yxy colour space. The measured LRV is defined by the tristimulus value Y. The chromaticity coordinates x and y provide an indication of the colour. LRV – A life saving tool.
