Digital Salt-meter ES-421, PAL-ES

A bakery A restaurant chain As the number of locations increase, customer complaints about inconsistent food quality also increased. We have started checking the concentrations of salt in our soups and sauces at the central kitchen before they are shipped out to other locations. At each restaurant, soups and sauces are checked periodically as they simmer. We no longer receive the same type of customer complaints. Salt is an important ingredient in baking bread. We are monitoring the salinity of bread dough to be around 1-2%. It is impossible to tell whether or not the salt was added to the dough from the appearance. Ever since we implemented the ES-421 in our production line, we have not forgotten to add salt. We can prevent substandard products from reaching to customers by salt testing. A pickles manufacturer A fresh cut fruit processor We are using the PAL-ES2 to measure pickles after the curing salt is washed off. The instrument is convenient and easy to use. Pickles are minced and diluted with water to a 10% concentration, and then measured with the PAL-ES2. We also use a hand-held refractometer to measure the salinity of the brine for our salt-packed products. This is even more convenient because dilution is unnecessary. Both the salt meter and refractometer play important roles in the production for different purposes. We use 2% saline solutions with a small amount of ascorbic acid to prevent discoloration of fruits. Especially apples turn brown quickly. Monitoring the salt concentration is critical for us. FAQ Q Does the Mohr method and ATAGO salt meters use the same measurement principles? Q How is the unit calibrated? A Press the ZERO key while the sensor is empty and completely clean. No chemical is necessary. Perform this zero-setting daily. When measurement values seem to be off, calibrate the unit with a standard saline solution. Contact ATAGO for purchase. Q Can tap water be used for sample dilution? A Always use distilled water whenever possible. If tap water is used, make sure that the water reads “0 (zero)” in advance. A The Mohr method, also known as a silver nitrate titration method, utilizes the characteristic of silver nitrate that reacts with chloride ions to measure the salinity %. The ATAGO salt meters employs the electric conductivity method. Both methods measure the salinity but operate on different measurement principles. However, by creating a conversion table between the two testing methods, correlation between the set of results can be seen. Q Can the instrument measure the non-sodium total dissolved solids? Q Do other electrolytes besides salt affect the readings? A Non-sodium total dissolved solids = Brix – (salinity % × 1.18). A refractometer with the Brix scale is required. The salinity % is multiplied by 1.18 to be converted into a Brix value. A The amount of other electrolytes found in food is negligible, usually less than 1%.

It is easy to use and completely washable under the faucet. We liked it so much that we purchased a second unit. International protection class Dimensions and weight We use the ES-421 to measure the salt concentration of ham and deli salads. We love the unit and feel that the unit will soon pay for itself. With an attractive compact body and simple-to-use design, you'll want to always keep it close at hand. Power supply A cold cut meat manufacturer managing salt concentrations.

Reduce costs and minimize risk by A grocery store that carries our products came to our facility for inspection, and we were told to thoroughly monitor the amount of salt that goes into the food. After evaluating several different salt meters including ones with a probe, we decided on the PAL-ES2. We used to rely on taste tests, but now we measure with the salt meter immediately after salt is added. We send the test data to the grocery store. Conductivity method Measurement method A restaurant We list the salt content and calories of our food items on our menu. We are monitoring the salt content of food in the kitchen to make sure that readings stay close to the specified salt content.
