BriteX Brightness Sensor Overview



Applications

Paper
Ensure consistent whiteness and surface quality in paper production by monitoring real-time brightness levels.

Pulp
Optimize bleaching and de-inking processes in pulp manufacturing with precise brightness feedback.

Rice
Sort and grade rice efficiently by detecting subtle variations in surface brightness and polish quality.

Gypsum
Control the visual consistency of gypsum boards by measuring reflectance during production.

Sugar
Validate the color quality of raw and refined sugar to meet strict ICUMSA grading standards with on-line brightness monitoring.
