Vaisala refractometers from Zutora
Measure Brix and other concentrations inline accurately and in real time.
What is a process refractometer?
Vaisala’s process refractometers are used for inline liquid concentration measurements for various industries, installation positions and applications. The real-time measurement and data they produce of the process enable advanced and accurate process control supporting industrial automation.
Light your way beyond tomorrow
Ignite the full potential of your process control with the pioneering optical inline process refractometer Vaisala Polaris. The robust instruments optimize manufacturing processes, enhance productivity, and save resources, energy, and time in various industries and hundreds of applications.
Key benefits
Always accurate, no drift
The measurement is based on optical measurement of the refractive index (RI). The RI can be measured from practically any liquid or slurry, and it is sensitive to dissolved material. Particles, bubbles or color do not affect the measurement.
Outstanding durability
The outstanding long-term stability and the measurement principle with no moving parts provides years, even decades of accurate, continuous, fast and stable measurement for concentration of sugar (Brix) and various other chemical concentrations directly in the process stream.
Easy installation
Convenient installations directly to different size process pipes with standard sanitary and Variline couplings, or with a sanitary flow cell with measurement data incorporated to control system. Vaisala also offers miniature flow cell for bypass lines or sample lines, suitable for example in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Low maintenance
Process refractometers are easy to install and low maintenance instruments. The optical measurement principle combined with an instrument with zero moving parts does not require regular maintenance.
Full measurement range
The measurement range for concentration/Brix is 0-100 %.
3-A Sanitary and EHEDG certified
Hygienic certification guarantees that all hygienic demands are met, and sanitary features are woven into the product design. The product is safe and suitable to use in food and beverage processing.
