The Alex 500
The Alex 500, alcohol and extract meter, can be used for all samples in the entire production process.
Knowledge of the alcohol content of wine is an important parameter for production monitoring, quality control, blending and labelling. The Alcolyzer Wine M/ME system from Anton Paar provides precise alcohol determination (%v/v) of wine, sparkling wine, cider, rice wine, alcopops and fermenting must. It uses a NIR-based patented method (US 6,690,015; AT 406711) to determine the alcohol content in a highly alcohol-specific range. For this reason, the other constituents of the beverage do not influence the result and the measurement is valid for all vintages, regions and products.
Alcolyzer Wine M/ME combined with a DMA M/ME density meter allows the simultaneous calculation of alcohol %w/w, specific gravity and total extract (g/L) for volume calculation, truck loading and determining bottle filling heights. The modular system can be expanded to include turbidity and pH measurement.
Measurement with Alcolyzer Wine M/ME requires minimum sample preparation, just fill the sample and press <Start>. Completely different samples, e.g. red and white wine, can be measured immediately after one another with one and the same adjustment, so no cleaning is required between measurements.
The direct benefit: The measurement with manual filling takes around one minute. To increase efficiency even more, the Plug and Play Xsample 122 sample changer automates up to 24 measurements at once. With Xsample 122, filling and measurement takes less than three minutes per sample.
Alcolyzer Wine M/ME from Anton Paar: for automatic wine analysis in the laboratory.
