The experts for measurement solutions

Based on 35 years of experience in microwave technology, Berthold provides products, which exactly match the requirements and expectations of sugar producing customers. We offer specially designed microwave sensors  for measurements in product pipelines, dissolved sugar containers, crystallizers and at other process locations. The MicroPolar Brix for the sugar industry provides accurate, reliable on-line concentration measurements of the sugar magma over the entire process.

State of the art technology

  • Outside mounting of components
  • Not exposed to the harsh process conditions
  • Free of wear and maintenance
  • Smooth handling and operation
  • Lowest cost of ownership
  • Easy to install on existing molds and strands without modifications
  • Perfect for all high temperature and high pressure applications

Quick and accurate real time measuring results

MicroPolar Brix meter provides fast and precise measuring results. Several thousand installations in many different countries, the microwave analyser has proven to work accurate and reliable. The Brix measurement system is available with different types of sensors for the installation on pipelines or vessels. Typical applications in the sugar cane and sugar beet industry include the measuring of dry substance of thick and thin juice, concentration of milk of lime and brix value during crystallization (continuous or batch-type vacuum pan).

Automatic on-site calibration

One of the greatest benefits of the MicroPolar Brix is that the calibration is done directly on the evaluation unit. The system includes a multi-language user interface and a sample taking feature that enable the user to enter laboratory values easily and quickly. What's more, the calibration curve is calculated automatically, saving you time and improving accuracy. The Brix meter contains a freely accessible foil keypad, an alphanumeric keyboard and 4 soft keys. Data protection is ensured through free password selection. An integrated reference line makes the Brix measurement independent from environmental influences of any kind.
