An on-line color sensor (40) supplies light to a spectrophotometer (160) for color measurement of product (25) after cooling. The product (25) is extruded in a main extruder (20) having a bypass section (30). The on-line color sensor (40) includes an housing (50) having an interior portion (100). The housing (50) is positioned proximate to the bypass section (30) and is used to direct the product (25) from the bypass section (30) into the interior portion (100). A receptacle (110) that is connected to the housing (50) is positioned in the interior portion (100) of the housing (50) to hold the product (25) directed into the interior portion (100). The product (25) is allowed to cool while being held on the receptacle (110). A light source (170) is connected to the housing (50) and supplies light to the interior portion (100) of the housing (50). A light receiver (80) is connected to the housing (50) to capture the light from the light source (170) in the interior portion (100) that is affected by the cooled product (140). The captured light is supplied to the spectrophotometer (160) to measuring the color of the cooled product (140) in the interior portion (100) of the housing (50).

L'invention concerne un capteur de couleur en ligne (40) qui fournit de la lumière à un spectrophotomètre (160) pour mesurer la couleur du produit (25) après refroidissement. Ce produit (25) est extrudé dans un extrudeur principal (20) ayant une zone de dérivation (30). Ce capteur de couleur en ligne (40) comprend une enveloppe (50) pourvue d'une partie intérieure (100). Cette enveloppe (50) est disposée à proximité de la zone de dérivation (30) et sert à diriger le produit (25) de la zone de dérivation (30) à la partie intérieure (100). Un réceptacle (110) relié à l'enveloppe (50) est disposé dans la partie intérieure (100) de l'enveloppe (50) afin de retenir le produit (25) dirigé sur la partie intérieure (100). On laisse ce produit (25) refroidir tout en étant maintenu sur le réceptacle (110). Une source de lumière (170) est connectée à l'enveloppe (50) et fournit de la lumière à la partie intérieure (100) de l'enveloppe (50). Un récepteur de lumière (80) est connecté à l'enveloppe (50) afin de capturer la lumière provenant de la source de lumière (170) dans la partie intérieure (100) qui est affectée par le produit refroidi (140). La lumière capturée est transmise au spectrophotomètre (160) afin de mesurer la couleur du produit refroidi (140) dans la partie intérieure (100) de l'enveloppe (50).
