The color of snack crackers is important because it indicates freshness and taste. HunterLab's spectrophotometers are color measurement instruments proven to consistently and accurately measure color on challenging textures. The following are a few reasons snack cracker manufacturers should use a spectrophotometer to measure the color of snack crackers:
Spectrophotometers can obtain and display dozens of results in a matter of seconds, allowing operators to see color measurement results right away. For example, the HunterLab Aeros spectrophotometer records and averages 35 measurements in five seconds.
HunterLab spectrophotometer models have a dynamic rotating sample platform that measures up to 27.5 square inches. Our spectrophotometers provide the world’s largest measurement area compared to other color measurement instruments.
Spectrophotometers like Aeros, take noncontact measurements, meaning they can measure crackers' color without touching them. Noncontact measuring simplifies sample presentation, eliminates the risk of contamination, and reduces sample cleanup efforts.
The HunterLab Aeros spectrophotometer for snack crackers is the only solution on the market with Smart Sensor Technology. This technology features Automatic Height Positioning, which determines the distance between the sensor and sample and adjusts itself automatically. The height positioning can find the ideal location for optimal measuring with minimal operator involvement.
Smart user interface and data management allow operators to see measurement results and share the data via USB, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and other integrations.
HunterLab spectrophotometers have embedded EasyMatch® Essentials software. This software features applications that allow operators to create their own workspaces. It is also preloaded with standard reflectance scales and indices. As a result, operators can meet their workflow needs and streamline production.
Spectrophotometers such as HunterLab Aeros have everything needed to record color measurements out of the box, including sample trays, a USB flash drive, and a Quick Start Guide.
