Features of TAPPI Brightness Tester
Automated Measurement
Technidyne has earned a reputation for excellence as the pulp and paper industry’s leading supplier of optical quality measurement instruments. The TAPPI Brightness Tester is the most advanced version ever of the tester that started it all more than 25 years ago and includes fully automated measurement of two-sided brightness and fluorescence.
Meets TAPPI Standards
With a measurement so critical to the quality of the finished product, it makes sense to choose the instrument that measures up to the industry’s most stringent standards. TAPPI Brightness Tester is the only profiling brightness tester that performs in full compliance with TAPPI Official Test Method T452.
Fast Evaluation of OBA’s
TAPPI Brightness Tester gives you a fast, accurate measurement of the impact of optical brighteners. The ultra-violet light absorbing filter is positioned over the light source, providing accurate readings quickly.
Easy Operation
Easily recognizable icons help navigate the TAPPI Brightness Tester when operating in stand-alone mode. The system software controls the automatic measurement of all properties.
Top-side/Bottom-side Measurements
For labs requiring brightness measurements on both sides of the paper, this capability can be specified as an option. The TAPPI Brightness Tester can be equipped with measuring optics for both sides.
Standardized Calibration
Mills who have depended on TAPPI brightness for years to meet their customers’ demands will appreciate the standardized calibration process incorporated into the TAPPI Brightness Tester The instrument produces data that you can rely on to determine whether or not your products can be shipped.
Comprehensive Reports
Whether reviewing multiple readings across a profile strip or just a single fluorescence evaluation the TAPPI Brightness Tester offers a test report format to provide this essential data. It is presented in a concise and accurate manner that is ready to be printed or sent to a remote data collection host.
Benefits of TAPPI Brightness Tester
- TAPPI Brightness Tester can perform fully automated measurements of brightness, thereby increasing efficiency and lowering overall testing costs.
- It meets TAPPI Standards thus ensuring accurate and repeatable results that allow tighter operating targets and reduced production costs.
- The fast evaluation of OBA’s means that PROFILE/Plus Brightness can provide the information needed to make positive process changes to improve quality and enhance profitability.
- Top-side/Bottom-side Measurements reduce overall testing time to improve feedback of results and help to optimize manpower resources.
- The TAPPI Brightness Tester measures multiple properties simultaneously thus speeding up data collection and optimizing testing resources to save time and money.
- PROFILE/Plus customers have reported that savings can be realized in the areas of furnish, chemical addition, customer complaints, and reduced paper machine breaks. Manpower efficiency can also be improved by increasing the testing frequency and accuracy, which lowers the overall cost of testing.
