Two New Refractometers for use in Factory Environments Launched

Xylem’s Bellingham + Stanley brand has launched two new refractometers particularly suited for the use in the factory. Commonly, the RFM-M Series instruments feature a 4” colour display and robust, tactile alphanumeric keypad that allows users to configure the instrument conveniently whilst offering extra protection in harsh environments.

Particularly, the RFM700-M Series refractometers offer the same automatic temperature compensated readings as their predecessors but with more features. These include a comprehensive display of measurement parameters (sample reading, temperature, quality & scale identifiers), significant data storage and an on-board library of over 20 recognised scales. RFM700-M series refractometers are therefore particularly suited for use in food and beverage packing halls, Tare Houses in the wine, tomato and sugar processing industries as well as within in confectionery manufacturing.

Additional features for the RFM300-M models include Peltier temperature control, RFID user clearance and audit trails with electronic signatures that facilitate use in controlled environments such as those operating in accordance with FDA regulation 21 CFR part 11. Importantly, the top level RFM340-M refractometer boasts a 3-decimal place Brix resolution (6 d.p. RI) that takes it to the next level when controlling critical blend ratios of edible oils, carbonated soft drinks and fruit juices.
