See every drop. Optimize every spray application. Maximize the success of cosmetic and household sprays
LaVision - Scientific precision for optimum spraying results for your products
The quality of a spray product determines its efficiency, cost-effectiveness and customer satisfaction. A faulty spray pattern or uneven droplet distribution can reduce effectiveness, lead to increased material consumption or have a negative impact on the application experience. We use precise optical measurement methods to analyze spray patterns, spray cones and droplet distributions at the highest level of detail. This data helps manufacturers to optimize product formulation, spray technology and application processes in a targeted manner – from development to production. Our systems deliver reliable, reproducible results and enable precise dosing, optimized spraying processes and consistent quality.
Household spray Imaging
Quality and efficiency for care products
Our optical measurement techniques precisely analyze the spray pattern, dosage and behavior of aerosols – both water-based and alcohol-based as well as at different viscosities. Automated real-time analyses save time in development, improve production processes and increase the market opportunities of your household products.
Cosmetic spray Imaging
Perfection for an exceptional application experience
We analyze the spray behavior and dosage of products such as deodorants, hairsprays and perfumes to ensure an optimal cosmetic application experience. Time-resolved measurements enable precise adjustment of aerosols (water-, oil- or alcohol-based) as well as liquids and powders – for consistently high product quality and maximum customer satisfaction.
Detailed optical analysis for complete spray characterization
In order to the physical properties and behavior of a spray, we usewe use the most modern optical measuring methods a. These methods enable a detailed visualization and quantification of the spraying processes – from the development of the spray shape to the droplet distribution.
These methods provide manufacturers with practical, quantitative data to improve their spraying processes in a targeted manner and ensure quality in the long term.
1. spray pattern analysis
- Measurement of spray geometry: homogeneity, size, shape and uniformity of the spray
- Dynamic representation: temporal development of the spray pattern using high-resolution image sequences
Measuring method
Lateral light sheet illumination for precise detection of the spray pattern at any distance from the spray outlet.
2. analysis of the spray cone / spray plume
- Measurement of distribution: angle, penetration depth and uniformity for clean application
- Dynamic visualization: Development of the spray cone with high-speed measuring method
Measuring method
Precise spray cone measurement thanks to backlighting
3. spray break-up detection (high-speed)
- Illustration of droplet formation: Splitting of the liquid
- Goal: Optimization of the mechanics for finer distribution
