In-line Brix measurement or refraction measurement in drinks and juices

In-line refractometers or BRIX meters are used to take measurements on samples in mixing equipment that mixes raw materials and water, as well as a pass/fail check for products before they are filled. Both sugar content and concentration (Brix) can be measured with in-line refractometers.

In-line refractometers or BRIX meters for beverage mixing

The in-line refractometers or BRIX meters contain a mixing ratio feedback system. This measures the mixing ratio in real time. It responds by changing the flow volume adjustment.

Final check before bottling with the in-line refractometer or BRIX meter

A final check of the product before bottling is performed using the refractometer or BRIX meter to ensure it is within specifications. Controlling the changeover between different liquids can help reduce liquid loss.

Concentration control with in-line refracto or BRIX meter for carbonated beverages

When adding carbonation prior to filling, the concentration can be checked once the carbonation has been added.

BRIX example sports drinks

Sports drinks usually measure around 6% Brix.
