ADS 400 Series Saccharimeter

The ADS400 Series Saccharimeter is a purpose built polarimeter that displays results in the ISS (°Z) scale.

This series of Bellingham + Stanley instruments has been primarily designed for busy sugar laboratories, factories and tare houses. The ADS400 Series is available in 2 wavelengths: Sodium (589nm) and NIR – Near Infrared (850nm), which facilitates “lead-free measurement”. Both models can be purchased with or without XPC Technology Xylem’s patented Peltier temperature control system.

The ADS400 Series Saccharimeters are designed to operate in isolation but work best when connected to an RFM Refractometer to create a complete Purity system that facilitates accurate purity readings.

The ADS400 Series is built in the UK using a corrosion-free polyurethane foam case – sealed to prevent moisture and dust ingress to its optics. Low power consumption and low maintenance is achieved using an LED light source which offers light for the length of the product lifetime1.

The external power unit keeps internal temperatures minimal and in combination with the sealed casing makes the ADS400 Series Saccharimeter a great choice for working in high humidity environments.

Methods and measuring of ADS 400 Series

Thanks to its intelligent setup wizard, easy-to-use keypad with colourful HD display and intuitive software, operating the ADS400 Series is quick and simple. RFID login allows several levels of access, as well as offering an audit trail, meaning settings can be hidden away so users can only take readings; ideal for allowing use of the instrument no matter what level of training.

A METHODS system allows for quick configuration, with reading type (continuous or single shot) and limit checking against predefined product specifications made simple. Configurable Purity equations are also accessible through the easy-to-use software using the keypad.

The ADS400 Series Saccharimeter is available in predefined packages to make choosing the right system as simple as possible. All packages are supplied with appropriate cell, lid, onboard purity, LIMS logger PC software, RFID tags & certificate of conformity.
