Апарат за измерване на алкохол и екстракт: Alex 500
Alex 500 is a compact alcohol and extract meter that frees craft beverage producers from the need for external laboratories. Besides alcohol and extract content it determines related parameters, such as calories or degree of fermentation, at any time. Alex 500 accurately measures all of your samples, in all production steps, from your juice, wort, or mash to the fermentation process and blending procedure to your bottled product. You can swiftly react to all undesired deviations as soon as they occur. With this lab-grade analyzer under your own roof you can always be sure that your bottles contain what their labels say, in order to keep your customer promise.

Информация за продукта
Visual fermentation monitoring
The special fermentation monitor mode enables you to keep an eye on 40 ongoing fermentations at the same time
Display of fermentation curves based on density measurement (apparent extract), assigned to a tank via sample ID
New measuring values are automatically added to the chart shown on the large display
Helps you prevent your product’s fermentation getting stuck or proceeding too quickly and allows you to immediately react to undesired deviations.
Measurement of alcohol and extract content
Measure alcohol and extract towards the end of your beverage’s fermentation.
Find out how your beverage changes during blending with flavors or bottle fermentation.
Helps you keep your beverage’s taste and quality stable from batch to batch
Provides the basis for correct calculation of your taxes
Proves that your bottles contain what their labels say
Perfect documentation and traceability of data
Storage of fermentation charts for 40 different sample IDs with up to 100 data sets each
Additional storage for 1000 alcohol and extract measurements in standard mode
Wireless printout of data via Bluetooth®
Data transfer to a PC (cable in scope of supply)
Standardized sample handling for intuitive operation
Simple, standardized sample preparation
Turbidity warning alerts you in case your sample requires additional filtration
Unique sample naming
Storage of customized measuring methods for different beverage types
Automatic filling of sample via integrated peristaltic pump
Easy adjustment with deionized water
Suitable for beer, wine, cider, spirits, liqueurs, and sake
Craft beer: measures samples from bright lager to deep black stouts, from bock beer to light beer, and even beer mixtures
Wine: ready for red, white, and rosé wines, sparkling and still, bottle- or tank-fermented products
Spirits & liqueurs: measures your high-proof alcohol – from spirits aged in wooden barrels to liqueurs with a sugar content of up to 450 g/L
Cider: ready for dry apple wines, traditional cider, and flavored cider mixtures
Sake: get a snapshot of the alcohol and extract present in your sake product – without the need for distillation.
Patented alcohol measuring technology that makes your life easier
Patented combination of absorption measurement via NIR spectroscopy and density measurement based on the oscillating U-tube technology
Comprehensive statistical model for determination of alcohol and total extract content
Quality, pure and simple, from the world’s leading provider of density and alcohol measurement in the wine industry
Covers the entire relevant measuring range
Provides direct, real-time results at all times, without any separate calculation or distillation
