Process refractometers are particularly useful in the food and pharmaceutical industries where they are used to optimize production processes, control quality, and ensure consistency and purity.
In commercial food applications such as juice production or tomato processing, refractometers are used to measure degrees Brix. The Brix scale relates refractive index to sugar concentration, and is a key way to maintain consistency. For example, process refractometers are used for the concentration process of fruit juices. The concentration process is normally achieved by removing water through evaporation, and by measuring Brix, the evaporation process can be controlled and related to the desired juice concentration.
In the pharmaceutical industry, process refractometers are used to monitor and control concentration levels during supersaturation, a critical process in crystallization. Crystallization is key to the purification of solids in pharmaceutical production. A high degree of measurement accuracy and reliability provided by the process refractometer ensures precise monitoring and control and a pure product.
There are many other industrial applications for process refractometers, almost all sharing the need for accurate solids content measurement.
