AUTOPOL 880 Series – Digital Saccharimeter

This is Rudolph’s most popular saccharimeter. It is used by 98% of all US sugar mills, 100% of all US customs labs and can be found in thousands of sugar mills around the world. It has 0.01 accuracy and is available in both 2 and 4 wavelength versions. Recommended for the sugar industry, the Autopol® 880 digital saccharimeter is a dual wavelength microprocessor based digital saccharimeter capable of measuring at both 589 nm and 880 nm. The 880 nm ICUMSA Approved near infrared wavelength allows measurement of dark sugar factory juices, while the AUTOPOL® Automatic Saccharimeter Purity Mode allows simultaneous measurement and display of PURITY, BRIX, and POL.

Dual Wavelengths

The most important feature of the AUTOPOL® saccharimeter models IIZ, 880 and 880T are their ability to measure at two wavelengths: 589 nm and 880 nm (NIR). Select 589 nm for conventional analysis using chemicals or lead clarifiers or select 880 nm for polarimetric sugar measurements in the near infrared (NIR). 880 nm is above the absorption level of most dark sugar factory solutions allowing measurement of filtered but non-lead clarified juices. The dark sample measurement bar gets darker in proportion to the darkness of the sample being measured. When the bar is completely dark the instrument has reached its measurement limit.

Dilution and Cell Length Correction

Whether your sugar analysis requires a 25mm, 50mm, 100 mm or 200 mm cell, whether you use 1/2 normal (13g/100ml), 1/4 normal (6.5g/100ml) or full weight sugar solutions, the AUTOPOL® 880 and 880T saccharimeters provide the correct multiplier to display the reading as if the sample were prepared as a 1 normal solution in a 200 mm optical path-length cell.

Automatic Calibration

Calibrating an AUTOPOL® saccharimeter is quick and simple. First, place a Rudolph Quartz Control Plate calibration standard on the optical rails and enter the Quartz Plate value in the appropriate window. Second, enter the temperature to correct the measurement to either the ICUMSA temperatura padrão de 20 ° c ou a temperatura de referência tropical de 27,5 ° c. Em terceiro lugar, pressione 2 botões e calibração completa. (consulte o boletim técnico 913 para mais detalhes sobre os padrões de calibração Rudolph)

Automatic Temperature Correction

Todos os modelos AUTOPOL ® saccharimeter têm uma sonda de temperatura no compartimento de medição. A sonda pode ser inserida em todos os 14 estilo, estilo 40T, estilo 41T e células de medição de estilo 33.
O AUTOPOL ® 880 apresenta a fonte de temperatura e o tipo de correcção. Utilizando coeficientes de temperatura programada por fábrica o AUTOPOL ® 880 pode fazer os seguintes tipos de correcções de temperatura:

• Uma amostra de sacarose de 30 ° C pode ser medida pela sonda de temperatura e corrigida a 20 ° c ou 27,5 ° c ou a uma temperatura definida pelo cliente.
• A amostra de sacarose de 29 ° c numa célula de vidro de enchimento do tipo 14 Center pode ser medida pela sonda de temperatura dentro da câmara de amostra e corrigida a 20 ° c.
• Uma placa de quartzo medida a 25 ° c pela sonda de temperatura da câmara e corrigida automaticamente a 20 ° c.

Rudolph knows Sugar Technologists around the world demand 24-hour operation, 7 days a week for up to 9 months out of the year. They expect 0.02 °Z reproducibility and accuracy. Rudolph Research understands these demands and requirements because Rudolph has been serving the sugar industry since 1940. Throughout those sixty plus years, Rudolph has dedicated itself to manufacturing quality instrumentation and providing superior technical and service support, both directly and through its worldwide dealer network. This dedication is consistent with Rudolph’s over 5,000 instruments installed worldwide, with many of those instruments still in operation after 25 years of service.
