For more than 40 years, ABB Measurement & Analytics has enabled scientists worldwide to achieve excellence in infrared spectroscopy with the company’s portfolio of high-performance laboratory and process fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) / fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) analysers.

ABB spectrometers perform real-time analysis of the chemical composition and physical properties of a process sample stream.

ABB’s analysers are used in laboratories and industrial processes to analyse multiple chemical components in the final quality control of several common products used daily.

Industrial infrared spectrometers for PET packaging container analysis

The company provides rugged and versatile instruments, offering exceptional performance and ease-of-use in response to increasing customer demand.

MB3600-CH80: A PET packaging analyser for fast analysis of PET containers, such as jars, bottles and preforms.
MB3600-CH70: This polyols analyser is a maintenance-free FT-NIR spectrometer for R&D and QA/QC applications on polyols and derivatives.
MB3600-CH40: A solids analyser, designed to perform fast and accurate determination of key physico-chemical attributes of raw materials, in-process or finished products in solid form.
MB-Rx: Intended for laboratories and pilot-plants, the MB-Rx reaction monitor provides chemists with direct access to real-time experiment data.

Especially for the packaging industry, ABB has developed an industrial FT-NIR solution for fast analysis of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers, such as jars, bottles and preforms.

The FT-NIR solution is intended for R&D centres, quality assurance (QA) / quality control (QC) laboratories and production lines of companies performing a large number of daily measurements of containers’ key characteristics.

The MB3600-CH80 instrument enables precise determination of several PET quality attributes such as crystallinity, moisture content, wall thickness and intrinsic viscosity. Analysis is performed within a few seconds, an alternative to slower laboratory methods. No specific sample or instrument preparation is required and the measurements are totally non-destructive.

ABB designs, manufactures and markets reliable spectrometers, as well as turnkey analytical solutions, for multiple markets and industries, including refining, chemicals, packaging, pharmaceutical, semiconductors, academic, metallurgy, space and defence.

The maintenance-free instruments maximise productivity and deliver unbeatable analytical performance at the industry’s lowest cost of ownership. ABB also provides custom calibration modelling services and application support addressing QA/QC market needs.

Products & services

  • LLT100, the ABB next generation of non-contact laser level transmitters

    The LLT100 revolutionises the level measurement industry. It is specifically made for industrial applications and harsh environments and replaces open-path radar and other level transmitters. It provides continuous, non-contact level measurement capabilities for process automation and inventory management in industries such as mining, aggregates, oil and gas, chemicals, food and beverages, power, pulp and paper, pharma, as well as water and wastewater.

  • LM80 Intermediate Range Laser Level and Position Sensor

    The LM80 is a non-contact laser level measurement transmitter designed for solid materials and opaque liquids. Based on pulsed laser technology, the LM80 embodies speed and accuracy in a single, easy to use and simple to install product. The characteristic narrow beam divergence of the laser permits direct aiming to the target surface without interference from structures or falling material.

  • LM200 Long Range Laser Level and Position Transmitter

    The LM200 laser level measurement transmitter is dedicated to long-range applications. It measures solids at distances up to 200m (656ft) and up to 45m (148ft) on opaque liquids. It finds many applications such as ore pass level monitoring in mining or for tripper car positioning, for instance.

  • MB-Rx: In-Situ Reaction Monitor

    Intended for laboratories and pilot plants, the MB-Rx Reaction Monitor provides chemists with direct access to real-time experiment data via a rugged insertion probe and an intuitive software interface.

  • MB3600-CH40: Solids Analyzer

    The MB3600-CH40 Solids Analyzer is designed to perform fast and accurate determination of key physico-chemical attributes of raw materials, in-process or finished products in solid form.

  • MB3600-CH70 Polyols Analyzer

    The MB3600-CH70 Polyol Analyzer is a rugged and high-performance industrial FT-NIR spectrometer for R&D and QA/QC applications on polyols and derivatives.
