Measuring °Brix in the evaporation

The evaporation process increases the solids content of the juice from 16% to 65%. Typically, the water is boiled off in a number of evaporator vessels. After each stage of evaporation the °Brix content of the sugar juice is measured. The microwave based systems from Berthold provide real-time information on the sugar content and allow for reliable control of the evaporators.
