Refractometer for jam cooking equipment
Industrial refractometers are used to measure the concentration level of liquids in a continuous flow across various industries, applications, and industrial setups. They provide real-time measurement data, ensuring precise process control and maintaining the desired concentration of liquids. This enables industrial automation by eliminating the need for manual sampling and adjustments, allowing for consistent and accurate production.
This industrial refractometer provides accurate Brix measurements during production.
It enables continuous monitoring of the cooking process, ensuring consistent product quality and facilitating process optimization. The refractometer can be installed directly into any type of cooking equipment to monitor batch processing and ensure consistent quality of the final product. With a measurement range of 0-100 Brix, it provides real-time control via Ethernet or 4-20 mA output signals. These signal can be used for quality control, allowing immediate corrective action if Brix levels deviate from the desired range.
By eliminating the need for batch sampling and offline analysis, the refractometer improves product uniformity, improves quality and optimizes sugar use. Typical measurement ranges include 10-70 Brix for making jam and 50-85 Brix for marmalade production, with process temperatures ranging from 70 to 90 °C (158 to 194 °F).
The refractometer is designed for installation in large pipes, tanks, cookers, evaporators, crystallizers and cooking kettles. Its long probe, which is compatible with common tank bottom flanges, allows installation depths of up to 170 mm. The flush-mount option allows installation in tanks with mixers and scrapers. The refractometer supports CIP and SIP cleaning.
This model is Indigo compatible, offering advanced features such as data logging, wash control, measurement customization, diagnostics and service updates.
Refractive Index (nD): 1.3200-1.5300 (corresponding to 0-100 Brix).

The expansion tank is an additional component of the heating system circuit, where flow-through electric heating is used as an independent closed system for heating the hot water, serving as a heat transfer medium circulating in the duplicator of food cooking boilers, reactors, pasteurizers, and other food processing equipment. In heating systems with water heaters operating at temperatures up to 110°C, the expansion tank is necessary to accommodate the increased volume of the heat transfer medium as it expands when heated.
- Special high-pressure vessel – allows to withstand pressure of up to 5 bar in the system.
- Allows the use of a heat generator with superheated water up to 110°C.
- Has different volume options, depending on the volume of the heat transfer medium, selected additionally.
