Anton Paar On-line Brix Monitor - ROFA Wien

1 On-line brix MonitorOn- line brix analysis in soft drink, syrup, andfruit juice productionAnton Paar High precision and reliability Easy to operate Maintenance-freeOn- line brix MonitorBrix monitoring is crucially important in the production and processingof finished products and syrups, and Anton Paar s On-line brix Monitormakes accurate, reliable measurements continuously. Most installationsdo not need a by-pass, thanks to the new On-line fitting, there is virtuallyno maintenance required, and cleaning consists of normal CIPprocedures. Accurate readings are guaranteed regardless of whetheryou are using HFCS, cane sugar, or beet sugar.

2 For the most accuratemeasurements, there is only one choice .. Anton Possible AccuracyThe brix concentration is determined by measuring the resonance frequency ofa U-tube density meter. Depending on the density of the beverage, the frequencyof the oscillation increases or decreases. High precision time measurement ofthe period of oscillation is translated into accurate density results and thus AdjustedThe DPR(n) density transducer is fully factory adjusted. Slight deviations betweenlaboratory and On-line measurements are easily adjusted within the mPDSevaluation unit during normal CorrectionFor carbonated beverages it may be useful to compensate for varying CO2concentrations.

3 A CO2 analyzer signal can be fed into the mPDS evaluation unitin order to provide complete compensation of the CO2 ConditioningThe signals from the density transducer are processed and converted into Brixconcentration results by the mPDS Evaluation unit. The latter provides standardindustrial analog and digital in- and outputs to connect to recorders, controllersor supervisory AcquisitionThe powerful DAVIS, WindowsTM based, data acquisition and visualisationsoftware, allows for storage of all data and alarms, statistical analysis, graphicaltrend indication and product Paardensity/concentrationmicrohardness testingrheology/colloid sciencetemperaturesample decompositionmedicine/biologyX-ray structure analysisfibre testing/paper industryPhone +43 316 257-0E-mail +43 316 257-257 Internet Paar GmbH.
