Accurate color measurement and color consistency are critical across industries such as paints & coatings, plastics, textiles, dyes, automotive, printing, electronics, and consumer goods. At Agaram Industries, we offer a complete portfolio of color spectrophotometers, colorimeters, and color formulation software from 3nh and CHNSpec, enabling reliable color control from shop floor to R&D laboratory.
Our range is clearly organized by types of instruments, making it easy to select the right solution based on application, accuracy requirement, and usage environment.
Pocket color readers are entry-level instruments designed for quick color checking and basic color comparison. These are economical variants used for quick color measurement
Typical applications: – Incoming raw material inspection – Field inspections and audits – On-site color approval and rejection – Basic pass/fail color decisions
Key features: – Compact, lightweight, and highly portable – Simple operation with fast results – Ideal for non-laboratory environments – Cost-effective color measurement solution-Can be connected with Mobile App for easy operation
Portable colorimeters are widely used for routine quality control and production monitoring, offering better accuracy and repeatability than pocket readers.
Typical applications: – Production-line color consistency checks – Batch-to-batch color comparison – Supplier and incoming quality control – Paints, plastics, rubber, textiles, and coated surfaces
Key features: – Stable and repeatable color measurement – Measurement in common color spaces such as **Lab*, ΔE** – Rugged design suitable for factory environments – Easy integration into QC processes
Advanced color readers provide enhanced accuracy and consistency while retaining portability, bridging the gap between colorimeters and spectrophotometers.
Typical applications: – Multi-location quality audits – Customer site inspections – Applications with tighter color tolerances – Combined field and laboratory usage
Key features: – Improved optical performance – Better inter-instrument agreement – Internal data storage and reporting – Higher confidence in on-site measurements
Portable color spectrophotometers are designed for professional color analysis where high accuracy and extremely low error tolerance are critical. These instruments can be seamlessly integrated with color formulation software, enabling precise color recipe development and optimization.
Typical applications include:
Key features:
Benchtop spectrophotometers offer the highest levels of accuracy and measurement stability, making them ideal for applications where strict color tolerances are critical.
These instruments support the measurement of transparent and transmissive samples, including liquids, in addition to reflectance measurements for opaque samples. This versatility makes them especially valuable for industries that handle both transparent and opaque materials.
Typical applications:
• Color formulation and R&D laboratories
• Food industry
• Textile industry
• Plastic and masterbatch manufacturing
Key features:
• Superior accuracy and repeatability
• Excellent long-term measurement stability
• Single instrument for both reflective and transmissive measurements
Other than the ones mentioned above, special purpose color spectrophotometers have been designed for specific purposes that cannot be fulfilled by general purpose spectrophotometers.
Color formulation software is an essential tool for developing, optimizing, and reproducing color recipes across various industries.
Industries served: – Paints and coatings – Plastics and masterbatches – Dyes and pigments – Textiles and fibers
Key capabilities: – Creation and optimization of color recipes – Reduction of trial-and-error in formulation – Correction and adjustment of existing formulations – Integration with spectrophotometers for accurate spectral data – Consistent color reproduction across batches and plants
When used together with portable or benchtop spectrophotometers, color formulation software significantly improves color matching accuracy, material savings, and production efficiency.
