Atago PAL-BUTYRO Digital Butyro Refractometer (4515)

The PAL-BUTYRO is a digital handheld refractometer manufactured by Atago, specifically engineered for the butter and edible oil industry. By measuring butyro value and refractive index, it rapidly identifies oil purity, blend ratios, and potential adulteration. It serves as a practical analytical tool for butter manufacturers, oil refineries, food processing facilities, and quality control laboratories.

With a measurement range of 30.0–90.0 Butyro and 1.4450–1.4850 RI, it covers a wide spectrum of oil samples; its 0.1 Butyro / 0.0001 RI resolution enables discrimination of fine differences. Automatic temperature compensation from 10–50°C maintains measurement stability across temperature variations in production and storage conditions. Obtaining results in approximately 3 seconds using only 2–3 sample drops provides significant time and sample savings in serial measurements.

The IP65 protection rating ensures durability in the humid and dusty environments of oil processing facilities. Powered by 2 × AAA batteries, its compact design is suitable for both field and laboratory use. It delivers a faster, lower-cost quality control solution compared to traditional chemical analysis methods.
