CM-800α Inline Refractometer by Atago: Precision and Reliability for Brix Measurements
The CM-800α by Atago is an inline refractometer engineered to meet the demands of industrial applications requiring continuous monitoring of sugar concentration (Brix) in liquids. Ideal for use in food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing industries, this instrument provides real-time, accurate, and reliable control of solutions directly on the production line. Its high-sensitivity sensor enables instant Brix readings with an outstanding accuracy of ±0.1%, over a broad measuring range of 0.00 to 80.0%.
Equipped with Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC), the CM-800α ensures consistent results across sample temperature variations ranging from 5 to 100 °C. It can withstand contact part temperatures of up to 150 °C, making it highly suitable for intensive industrial environments.
Manufactured in Japan under strict quality standards, the CM-800α is built from robust, corrosion-resistant materials: a sapphire prism and SUS316L stainless steel contact surfaces, ensuring long-lasting performance. It is fully compliant with HACCP, GMP, and GLP standards, allowing seamless integration into strict quality control protocols.
The device supports modern connectivity with RS-232C and DC 4–20 mA outputs, enabling reliable data transfer to supervisory systems or industrial PLCs. Its IP64 protection rating ensures resistance to water splashes, enhancing durability in humid environments.
Compact in size (16 × 17 × 11 cm) and weighing only 2.4 kg, the CM-800α is easy to install on production lines. It is compatible with a variety of sanitary fittings (IDF/ISO, JIS, clamp, or screw types), offering flexible integration according to facility standards.
Combining Japanese precision with industrial-grade robustness, the CM-800α is an essential tool for optimizing processes and ensuring consistent product quality.
