Wide range with excellent accuracy

0.00 to 80.0% Brix can be measured with a high accuracy of ± 0.1%. Supports various applications with numerous special scales and Intrinsically Safe Explosion-Proof models. Select the most suitable installation method for your application and location! Choose from installtion types such as: pipeline, directly into the tank (ferrule), or hose connector bypass!

Measureable at low and high temperatures.

ATAGO's CM-800α series is equipped with automatic temperature compensation (ATC) and supports a wide range of temperatures from 5℃ to 100℃. Since the wetted surface can handle up to 160℃, use CIP and SIP cleaning with confidence! Since the wetted surface can handle up to 160℃, use CIP and SIP cleaning with confidence!

Flat Sample Stage

By making the sample stage (wetted part) completely flat, the adhesion of the sample liquid to the prism surface is minimized and is more hygienic. The prism stage is re-polished in 1/100 mm increments during manufacturing to eliminate the chance of slight uneveness that may occur between the prism surface and the prism stage.

Enhanced Cleaning with a Prism Wiper or Ultrasonic Cleaner

Due to their nature, some sample liquids will adhere or build up on the prism no matter what after longterm use. For these cases, ATAGO has designed both prism wiper and ultrasonic cleaning devices. Using either of these means is no need to stop the line or remove the in-line refractometer many times just to clean the prism when buildup occurs.

Numerous Special Scales Available

Special scales are available for many different samples, such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, urea, NMP, hydrogen peroxide solution, DMF, saline solution, sodium hydroxide, ethyl alcohol (V / V), ethyl alcohol (W / W), IPA, wheat juice, wine, and more!

Compact All-In-One Unit

CM-800α is a model with the operation/display on the front and the detection sensor located on the back. The compact size makes it ideal for installation in various processes and applications.

Compatiblity with strong acids and strong alkalis
(Hastelloy / Titanium)

For use with harsh chemicals, the wetted part of the CM-800α series can be customized. It is possible to change the standard stainless steel material to Hastelloy or titanium for added durability. Because all the metal is shaved and polished in-house, we can flexibly respond to changes in materials.

Reliable and high quanity, used in over 80 countries worldwide

Customers must stop production if there is an issue with the system or inline refractometer, which can cause a big impact. For that reason, reliability and a good track record are important points. The CM-800α series is a long-selling product that has been highly acclaimed around the world for 20 years. ATAGO provides excellent support and aftercare service from offices and service center around the world should you encounter any issue.

Block nonconformities by process

Check the concentration of the extract

Manage extraction yield by measuring the Brix of the extracted solution.Depending on the extraction rate, re-extraction may be performed.

Mixing Ratio Feedback System

The mixing ratio can be detected in real time, and feedback is given so that there are no non-standard products.

Pre-Bottling Final Check

A final check on the product before bottling is made to make sure it is within specifcations.It can also be used to reduce liquid loss by controlling the switching to water during cleaning.

This is an in-line refractometer for concentrations of Urea (Adblue) in water.

Brix measurement determines pure sucrose content in samples and is not only a well-known application in the food and beverage industry, but also in the chemical segment. The degree Brix is represented by the following equation:

1 degree Brix (°Bx) = 1g of sucrose / 100g of solution
 

But does it apply to any kind of sample? Is 12 °Bx in orange juice equal to 12 g of sugar?
 

In practice, not necessarily. The Brix scale is used to measure sugar content in substances such as soft drinks, fruit juices and tomato concentrates, as well as products such as cutting oil, which are very often far away from pure sucrose/water solutions. This has led to some confusion especially when comparing results obtained with different measuring techniques 

AdBlue® is an aqueous solution with a concentration of 32.5 % urea. In North America, it is referred to as DEF (for "diesel exhaust fluid"). Urea reacts with nitrogen oxides and creates environmentally safe nitrogen and water. AdBlue® is therefore added to diesel to lower nitrogen oxide emissions. In countries where taxes are graduated according to vehicle emissions, reduced emissions of nitrous oxides may be cost efficient. Moreover, the addition of AdBlue® results in a reduction of fuel consumption by 3 % to 8 %.

The international standard ISO 22241 demands the analysis of AdBlue® using one of several defined methods. ISO 22241-2 Annex C specifies the determination of urea content in AdBlue® with refractive index measurement
