Overview
Measuring accurately and in real-time is the key to successful process control in the food and beverage industry. The PIOX R Brix sensor provides continuous in-line monitoring of liquid food and beverage concentration. The patented transmitted light refractometer technology allows FLEXIM to measure Brix, total dissolved solids, Plato, Oechsle and density at a new level of precision and reliability.
Online BRIX meters such as the PIOX R provide faster reaction time to product variation, allowing for more efficient production within ever tighter margins and avoiding waste. This makes FLEXIMS sensor the ideal solution for core applications such as juice blending, alcohol distillation or soft drink mixing. Further the sanitary process refractometer can monitor your supporting processes like glycol concentration in the cooling circuit and the concentration of cleaning agents.
