We may have a solution for you.

Advantages of single point vs. scanning color measurement

• No “step-out” of measurement after instrument calibrates (standardizes)
• No averaging of measurements across the web. This average measurement can never be found
• Measurement noise is added in by scanning, i.e., across web variations in opacity, profile problems, etc…
• Color can’t be controlled across the web
• Paper samples are measured in the lab for final QC color approval. These samples are taken from the drive side (single point) of the reel
•  The ERX50 online system can be installed on a maintenance day

We can demonstrate our system on your paper machine

 Special Advantages of the ERX Product Family

• Ambient light, web speed and normal flutter have no effect on the accurate measurement results.
• The instrument is robust, splashwater tight (IP65) and only needs minimum maintenance
• The long life Xenon flashlamp (1 year warranty) is inexpensive.
• Multiple displays of measurement results.
• Base color and optical brighteners are measured separately. Therefore both components can be controlled independently.
• Same as in lab: Stable color measurement data even when basis weight changes. Only the opacity changes.
• Excellent results with spectral resolution of 1nm.
• Alarm signal, link to QCS, PI, MOPS systems
