Ash Color Turbidity Analyzer

Automatic Ash, Color & Turbidity Analyzer

The SCHMIDT + HAENSCH Ash Color Turbidity Analyzer is a standalone, PC-controlled system containing a colorimeter, a scale and a conductometer, with all necessary pumps and valves for fluid handling. It’s a modular, computer-aided automated laboratory system based on optoelectronic measuring technology, specially designed for sugar laboratories with high sample throughput.

The crystalline sugar sample is manually added — no further preparation is necessary — and the sample ID can be detected with a barcode scanner. The system dissolves the sample automatically, dilutes the solution to a defined concentration (50 Brix), and filters it before measurement.

Key Features

• Combined automatic determination of conductometric ash and colour (ICUMSA) for the sugar industry.
• Automated sample dissolution and dilution to 50 Brix.
• Automatic filtration.
• Barcode sample ID detection.
• Preparation takes only 1 minute.
• Full analysis completed in 25 to 30 minutes.
• Measures conductivity in accordance with the official ICUMSA method in a 28 Brix solution.

Applications

As a purity criterion for sugar and other sugar industry products, conductometric ash determination is the preferred measure, closely related to sulphated ash. It’s included in most domestic and international sugar quality regulations. This system frees laboratory personnel from routine analysis, saving valuable time for other non-routine work.
