See every drop. Optimize every spray application. Maximize the success of cosmetic and household sprays
LaVision - Scientific precision for optimal spray performance in your products
The quality of a spray product directly impacts its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and customer satisfaction. Issues like faulty spray patterns or uneven droplet distribution can diminish performance, increase material usage, and negatively affect the user experience. At LaVision, we use advanced optical measurement techniques to analyze spray patterns, spray cones, and droplet distributions with exceptional precision. This detailed data helps manufacturers to optimize product formulations, spray technologies, and application processes in a targeted manner – from development to production. Our systems ensure reliable, reproducible results, enabling precise dosing, optimized spraying, and consistent product quality.
Household spray Imaging
Quality and efficiency for personal 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 boost the market potential of your household products.
Cosmetic spray Imaging
Perfection that creates an extraordinary 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.
Precise optical analysis for full spray characterization
To accurately determine the physical properties and behavior of a spray, we use state-of-the-art optical measurement techniques. These methods provide detailed visualization and quantification of spray processes – from spray pattern development to droplet distribution.
Manufacturers benefit from actionable, quantitative data that enables them to optimize spray processes and maintain consistently high product quality.
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
Measurement 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 spray distribution: angle, penetration depth and uniformity for clean application
- Dynamic visualization: Development of the spray cone with high-speed measurement method
Measurement method
Precise measurement of the spray cone using backlighting techniques.
3. Spray break-up detection (high-speed)
- Illustration of droplet formation: Spray break-up
- Goal: Optimization of the spray mechanics for finer distribution
Measurement method
Backlit high-speed images for detailed spray structure detection.
4. Droplet size and distribution analysis
- Measurement of the droplet size distribution, e.g., DV50
- Assessment of uniformity for consistent product application
Measurement method
LED-based shadowgraph images for high-resolution droplet recording.
Innovative optical analysis methods for complete spray characterization
From research laboratories to full-scale production, our measurement systems capture every key spray parameter. Using advanced optical methods, we precisely analyze spray patterns, spray cones, and droplet sizes. Our DaVis-software-assisted data evaluation provides a solid foundation for informed decisions throughout your entire process chain.
