Product catalog summary
Overview
The document discusses the importance of accurate density measurement of milk of lime in sugar production, highlighting the use of Berthold Micro-Polar Brix LB 565 technology for reliable and precise online measurements. This technology aids in maintaining high product quality and cost-efficient production.

Accurate Measurement of Milk of Lime
Milk of lime concentration measurement is crucial for ensuring quality and cost stability in sugar production. The Micro-Polar Brix system provides reliable and repeatable measurements using sophisticated microwave technology, ensuring consistent results. The system includes features like multifrequency technology and reference cables for stability, and sensors with a water flushing feature to prevent build-up.

Fields of Application
Milk of Lime (MOL) is a suspension of calcium hydroxide in water, produced in the slaker. The process requires maintaining a specific ratio of quick lime and water to achieve a nominal density of 22.5 °Be. The LB 565 system, used with a container probe or FlowCell, helps control the optimal density of MOL, enhancing process efficiency.
