Inline Brix and refractive index measurement for process control

Atago Refractie & Brix Refractive index & Brix Concentratie Concentration Vloeistof Fluids

Accurate and drift-free measurement of concentration, composition, and purity in liquids

Refractometers ATAGO

Measuring the purity or composition of your process liquid using refractive index (RI) or Brix provides valuable insight into your production process. ATAGO's robust inline refractometers accurately determine the concentration of dissolved solids (% by weight), total solids content, refractive index (RI), or Brix in liquids and slurries.

ATAGO refractometers are designed for reliable operation in industrial processes where concentration and composition are critical to product quality and production efficiency. Continuous real-time measurement allows process deviations to be detected immediately, enabling timely adjustments and improved process control.

  • Continuous measurement of Brix, refractive index (RI), and concentration (total solids)

  • Measurement range up to 0–100% Brix (sucrose scale)

  • Drift-free measurement through advanced algorithms and stable optical detection

  • Automatic temperature compensation for accurate results

  • Suitable for liquids and slurries

  • Suitable for product temperatures up to 100°C

  • Hygienic design with CIP compatibility

  • Easy integration via VARINLINE® and other process connections

  • Compatible with process control systems, including Profibus

  • Available in ATEX-certified versions for hazardous environments

Applications of ATAGO refractometers

ATAGO refractometers and inline Brix meters are widely used for the continuous measurement of concentration, composition, and purity in liquids and slurries.

  • Food & Beverage Industry: For monitoring sugar content and total solids in products such as tomato paste, sauces, dressings (vinegar), curries, soft drinks, fruit juices, coffee, tea, rice, tofu, soy milk, gelatin, confectionery, noodles, and wastewater.

  • Chemical Industry: For measuring concentration in chemical solutions, solvents, and process liquids, including sterilization solutions and applications within the textile and leather industries.

  • General Process Industry: For continuous process control in pipelines, tanks, reactors, and evaporators, where real-time insight into concentration and composition is essential for maintaining product quality and optimizing process efficiency.
