The SCHMIDT + HAENSCH ATR V is a stand-alone, critical angle refractometer tailored for the sugar industry. As a dedicated instrument for sugar factories and laboratories, it enables precise measurement of liquid media from low to high viscosity, independent of opacity and color. Unlike conventional devices, the ATR V operates without time-consuming sample tempering and features a temperature-compensated sugar scale, ensuring fast and reliable results. With its broad variety of configurations, it adapts seamlessly to both production and laboratory environments, while offering an excellent price-performance ratio.
A sample volume of 0.3 ml is sufficient for a very stable measurement of high quality and precision. The software of the ATR V, designed close to the practice makes it possible to calculate the mean value and to determine standard deviation and adjustable measuring delay for special measurement in dependence of the temperature.
In the chemical industry, ATR V can be used for analyzing a range of compounds, such as solvents, organic polymers, distilled products, or solutions of inorganic compounds. In the food and beverage industry, the ATR V can be applied to analyze yoghurt, jam, fruit extract, syrup, honey, coffee extract, vegetable fat, albumen, chocolate, milk, and baby foods. The quality of soft drinks, fruit juice, wine, and beer can be controlled. Medical applications include analysis of serums, blood, and urine. In the petrochemical industry, ATR V can be used to monitor e.g. oils, fats, waxes, naphthalenes, raw oils, varnishes, paints.
Up to ten user-defined scales, one of which is programmed as Brix scale by the factory, can be programmed. The casing design offers more space for a bigger 7” Touchscreen with our intuitive Aquisys 3 Software. The user friendliness and easy handling of the ATR V also allows for the creation and printing of forms. All functions may also be controlled via PC using the remote control program. The ATR V also has a serial to Ethernet (local area network) converter for data transfer.
