Atago CM-800α In-line Brix Monitor – Continuous Process Measurement

The CM-800α is an Atago in-line refractometer that delivers continuous Brix measurement when mounted directly onto production lines. Designed for sugar, fruit juice, food, and chemical processes where real-time concentration monitoring is required without manual sampling. With a measurement range of 0.0-80.0% Brix and ±0.1% accuracy, it addresses a broad spectrum of industrial applications.

The instrument interfaces with SCADA/PLC systems via 4-20mA analog output and RS-232C digital output, enabling real-time process data monitoring and logging. Its operating temperature range from -15°C to 160°C accommodates applications from cold storage lines to high-temperature steam processes. Compensation range is specified at 5-100°C; this model lacks IP65 protection rating and automatic temperature compensation, so environmental conditions and mounting location must be carefully evaluated during installation.

Well-suited for continuous process control environments where manual sampling is impractical and inline monitoring is essential.
