For the majority of the global population, rice is one of the main foods and an extremely useful plant. In Germany, the best-known type is the long-grain rice. There are also distinctions made between medium and round rice grains. More than a hundred thousand varieties of rice exist worldwide. Here, rather unknown are yellow, red and black rice varieties. More known are however the types of wholemeal, wild, risotto, milk, Jasmin, Basmati, Sushi or Paella rice. The list seems endless. The variants differ both in color and shape, as well as in taste and texture.
Germany is known for its high standards in quality control in the food industry. They have very strict guidelines. And there are a lot of conditions and restrictions that must be adhered to. In contrast to common samples, which in turn require higher costs and more time, LuxFlux offers a suitable alternative. We rely on hyperspectral technologies that enable complete, fast and non-contact measurements in the process. The grains to be analyzed can be checked without any physical contact.
True to the motto “The good in the pot, the bad into the crop”, the sorting of food works by means of hyperspectral near-infrared sensors. LuxFlux has developed the industry-suited technology in order to quickly and effectively remove foreign objects (e.g. rocks, wood, paper, plastics or insects), unwanted by-products (such as shells, stems or leaves), contaminants or “material damages”.
We offer reliability and perfection. Hyperspectral Imaging is an innovative method that can be used especially in the processing of rice grains. The LuxFlux software is very suitable for sorting and process analysis. In the long term, our technology can save costs and ensure a high level of quality.
This method enables more efficient work in the food industry. Optimizing the sorting process ensures a high standard of quality. It ultimately facilitates the customer’s buying decision while protecting the consumer and enhancing the reputation of their own brand.
