Product catalog summary
Introduction
Fives Cail, a leader in sugar factory equipment, has been optimizing boiling house operations by providing over 2,500 brix probes to more than 250 factories worldwide over the past 15 years. These probes are essential for controlling brix levels in evaporators and pans, ensuring both technical and economic efficiency.

Purpose of Probes
  • Measure and control brix levels.
  • Reduce energy consumption.
  • Improve exhaustion by 2%.
  • Reduce crystal size distribution by 4 units.

Reliability and Ease of Use
  • Technology upgraded in 2005 based on customer feedback.
  • Simple calibration and easy cleaning during operation.

Performance
  • Automatic operation for batch and continuous vacuum pans.
  • Detects brix changes from 0.1% to 0.5%.
  • Excellent repeatability and low susceptibility to scaling.

After Sales Support
  • Worldwide service by a dedicated team.
  • One-week delivery time.

Probe Technologies
  • Monotrac: Conductivity at 10 MHz, no temperature measurement, suitable for batch and continuous pans.
  • Hydrotrac: Microwave at 800 MHz, includes temperature measurement, suitable for various applications including evaporators and melters.

Technical Specifications
  • Stainless steel construction with ceramic sensing face for Hydrotrac.
  • Analogic output: 0/4-20mA, Digital output: RS 485 for Hydrotrac.
  • Hydrotrac refresh rate: 25 times per second.
  • Up to 16 simultaneous readings with Hydro-Com software.

Applications
  • Hydrotrac is used for evaporators, melters, and both batch and continuous vacuum pans.
  • Monotrac is used for batch and continuous vacuum pans.
