Product catalog summary
Specifications:
The document outlines the specifications of an in-line process refractometer, including measurement items such as refractive index (nD), Brix, and concentration with temperature compensation. The measurement range for refractive index is 1.32000 to 1.55700 and for Brix is 0.00 to 100.00%. The accuracy is ±0.00010 for refractive index and ±0.05% for Brix. The device operates within a temperature range of 5 to 100°C, with CIP up to 130°C for short durations. It features high and low limit settings, various output methods, and is powered by AC100 to 240V.
Construction and Materials:
The refractometer is constructed with a sapphire prism, SUS316 prism stage, and Kalrez® O-ring. It is designed to withstand pressures up to 1.0MPa and operates in relative humidity between 30 to 90%. The detection section is rated IP66, while the calculation display section is IP65.
Measurement Principles:
The refractometer measures the refractive index based on the principle that as the density of a substance increases, its refractive index rises proportionately. It is used in various industries such as food, beverage, and pharmaceuticals to monitor and control product concentrations.
Applications:
The device is applicable in measuring concentrations in products like concentrates, syrups, soft drinks, coffee extracts, and more. It is also used in industrial solutions like sodium hydroxide, coolants, and cleaning fluids. The refractometer helps in maintaining consistent product quality and preventing defective batches.
Installation and Usage:
The refractometer can be mounted directly on pipes or bypasses. It is crucial to ensure proper flow to the prism for accurate readings. The document advises against vertical installation unless the flow is upwards. ATAGO representatives offer support for installation and mounting options.
Customer Testimonials:
Various industries, including beverage bottling, chemical plants, sugar refineries, food processors, and paper plants, have successfully implemented the refractometer to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure product quality.

In-Line Refractometer PRM-100α-2

Preventive quality measures means inspecting the whole process. Continuous monitoring with a process refractometer. The PRM-IOOa works by measuring the light refraction between the prism on the detection section and the liquid running through the pipe where it is installed. This instrument can be mounted directly on the pipe or on a bypass. Process refractometers are indispensible in food, beverage and pharmaceutical plants for checking actual product, as well as serving to measure and control concentrations of industrial solutions such as cutting oils, quenches, and washes. The unit reads samples...

The PRM-100α will monitor every step Save money and prevent a bad batch! Example 1,000,000 units at $1 each Initial investments in refractometers can avoid wasting resources or a reputation-damaging recall! Stay a step ahead of danger That is the highest priority. I wanted my finished products to be consistently up to standards. Back then, we could never figure out what caused unsuitable batches. One day, we made a decision to track and keep any kind of data that could help us. That data showed us that even seemingly impossible mistakes can happen. To avoid any mistake, it is necessary to anticipate...

In-Line Refractometer PRM-100α-4

If the unit is installed into a vertical pipe, the current must flow upwards. There must be enough flow to continuously replace sample on the prism in order to ensure accurate readings. ATAGO reps will be happy to discuss options for mounting. Connection system Straight type We are using an in-line refractometer when diluting syrups. We can easily calculate the mixing ratio from the Brix reading, and control the flow using the alarm output for when the levels go out of spec. The refractometer allows us to monitor flow conditions in real-time. Before buying, they had us try a demonstration unit...
