Comparison: Competitor vs Berthold
Competitor
When comparing Brix values from the laboratory and actual values on the device used, significant measurement fluctuations can be seen, which do not provide a reliable result.
✦ Calibration drift over weeks
✦ No reliable and reproducible Brix measurement
✦ Often recalibration needed
Berthold
In comparison to the competitor, the Berthold device used shows only minimal deviations, resulting in a reliable and consistent outcome.
✦ No calibration drift
✦ Reliable and reproducible Brix measurement
✦ No time needed for recalibation
Summary of the comparison
Unmatched Measurement Stability
The Clear Advantage of Berthold
The chart highlights the superior measurement performance of the Berthold system: its deviation from the laboratory reference remains minimal and consistently stable, ensuring high precision and reliable reproducibility. In contrast, the competitor’s system shows significant and irregular scatter, resulting in unstable and difficult‑to‑predict readings. This clearly positions Berthold as the leading choice in measurement accuracy and process reliability.

Disclaimer: The values illustrated in this graph are based on reference data representative of a sugar mill with an annual sugar production capacity of approximately 250,000 tonnes. A conservative Brix-to-sugar recovery conversion factor was assumed in the calculations. These results are intended solely for analytical and comparative purposes and do not constitute site-specific performance data.
Boost efficiency in sugar production
Discover how advanced Brix measurement technology from Berthold delivers stable, drift‑free readings that increase sugar recovery and overall operational performance. Even small gains in measurement accuracy can translate into major cost savings and higher process reliability.
Save money with accurate Brix values – reduce costly errors, improve consistency, and eliminate recalibration during the entire campaign.
