Schmidt + Haensch offers an on-line ash analyzer in order to monitor the quality of dried white sugar crystals. The device consists of an automatic sampling system which can also be used in hazardous Atex-zones using conductivity to determine the non-sugar content. The device fulfills the standard lab procedure for ash determination following ICUMSA regulations.
The system dissolves the sample automatically and dilutes the solution to a defined concentration (28 Brix). Measurement results are immediately transferred to the control room of the sugar factory, enabling personnel to react to changes in sugar production.
Finally, the whole system is recalibrated with distilled water and ready for the measurement of the next sample. The complete measuring sequence takes 5 minutes compared to a much longer handling time.
The measurement data are transmitted to a PC that also controls the whole system, calculates the required results, and transmits all data to a PLC or MIS system.
- Fully automatic ash analyzer for crystal sugars
- Automatic, repetitive dilution, avoiding handling mistakes
- Functioning in hazardous Atex-environments using conductivity to determine the non-sugar content
- Easy operation avoiding tedious laboratory work
- In accordance with the official ICUMSA method in a 28 Bx solution (ICUMSA 2002, GS2/3-17)
Specifications
Conductivity calculated [μS/cm] CC
CC = (CM 0.35 * CW)/(1+0.026 * (T-20))
Conductivity ash
Conductivity ash = 0.0006 * CC * T24 (T24 is normally 1.0
