New! 24 Volt, DC-DC Option for the DCR E-Scan and MPR E-Scan In-line Process Refractometers

Electron Machine Corporation announced June 2, 2020 that the new 24v DC-DC Power Supply has been officially released for use in the DCR E-Scan and MPR E-Scan models.

“This is the successful culmination of many hours work and several revisions,” says Jack Wilburn, Operations Manager for Electron Machine, “and provides us the ability to satisfy the needs of many clients who seek a mobile solution for in-line process measurement of Refractive Index.” 

Reading Milk Fat content, de-icing solutions, and the measurement of sugars on harvesting equipment are just a few of the applications this new power supply address. Static operations that benefit from this advancement are solar operated locations as well as areas that lack high voltage AC service. This new option provides a solution for these low power areas.

Inline Process Refractometers for Measurement and Control of Sulfuric Acid Concentration in Industrial Applications

Sulfuric Acid Concentration
Sulfuric Acid (Sulphuric Acid, H2SO4) is a widely used commodity chemical. Because of it's corrosive properties, special attention has to be paid to its handling and storage. Measuring the concentration of Sulfuric Acid (sometimes referred to as Concentration Density of Sulfuric Acid) is a critical part of the production process. Controlling H2SO4 concentration is very important in many industrial applications including the production of fertilizers, oil refinement, chemical processing, mineral processing and wastewater treatment. Maintaining the desired Sulfuric Acid concentration density ensures it's safe handling and ultimately affects product quality. Industrial inline process refractometers provide the best solution for determining and maintaining Sulfuric Acid concentration.

Inline Process Refractometers Used in Industry


Inline process refractometers are used in a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications including the measurement of the sugar content of food and beverages, monitoring the purity and concentration of ingredients in pharmaceuticals, analyzing the constituents in chemical used in pulp and paper processing, and purity control and concentration measurement of raw materials in the chemical industry.

Inline process refractometers provide a very reliable and accurate real time measurement, which is ideal for process loop optimization and control. With In-line process refractometers, product quality and batch times are more closely controlled, reducing costs as a result.

The Electron Machine Corporation has been designing and manufacturing in-line process refractometers since the early 1960s, with a focus on providing simple, rugged, and reliable instruments that provide value over time, with accurate measurement, minimal maintenance, and long service life. They are the pioneer in developing the industrial use of refractive index for safe, reliable, and accurate process measurement and control.

Successful, Long-term EMC and Florida Food Products Partnership Maintains Consistent, High Quality Production


Florida Food Products, innovator and leader in clean-label, natural food processing, and Electron Machine; a winning team.


Electron Machine Corporation and Florida Food Products have had a long and successful relationship with each other. In fact, Florida Food Products was one of the first food companies Electron Machine Corporation ever placed a rugged, in-line, process refractometer into operation; the year was 1956.
in-line process refractometer
Located just a few miles from each other, the relationship was a natural.  Recently, Florida Food Products underwent a large expansion, requiring additional instrumentation from Electron Machine Corporation.  The first of these new generation in-line process refractometers was installed this past summer, and immediately paid dividends.  Upon installation concerning a test batch, the process refractometer read the material at a lower percentage of BRIX than anticipated by the engineers starting the line.  The staff at Florida Food Products made the appropriate changes to the concentration and the refractometer was deemed a great success.  Since this time, another unit has been purchased by the Florida Foods Team.

Electron Machine Corporation salutes the long relationship we have had with the Florida Food Products Team and looks forward to servicing this valued client for many years to come.
