ITT Corporation (NYSE:ITT) announces the introduction of
the Bellingham + Stanley OPTi hand-held refractometer for Brix analysis of
beverages and foodstuffs at the National Restaurant Show (NRA) 2011. The OPTi hand-held refractometer is a
portable, compact measurement device ideal for the measurement of dissolved
solids by cellar services and dispense maintenance engineers in food and
beverage retail outlets. The use of the new system will assist the delivery of
maximum product yield helping to reduce costs.
The easy-to-use OPTi digital hand held refractometer
provides accurate and rapid measurement of dissolved solids, making it an ideal
tool to control the blend ratio and sugar or fructose content of post-mix beverages
at point of dispense. With the use of the OPTi refractometer, retail and
restaurant outlets are able to ensure product quality and maximum product
yield, enabling costs to be easily and effectively controlled. Measurements are
completed in two seconds and only a small drop of sample is needed to provide
an instant result.
Also highlighted at the NRA Show 2011 is the Bellingham +
Stanley ABV (Alcohol by Volume) test kit.
The ABV test kit enables the alcohol content of beer, wine or cider to
be calculated from the combined readings of two portable instruments, the dual
scale OPTi Wine (ABV) refractometer and a standard hydrometer measuring
specific gravity. The kit requires only a minimal amount of sample to be used
and provides a fast and accurate reading to 0.5 percent ABV. In addition, the
simplicity of the kit ensures that it can be used quickly in micro-breweries
and beverage retail outlets so owners can randomly determine the level of
alcohol in mixed drinks being served.
The second scale on the OPTi refractometer is dedicated
for use in breweries to measure the initial soluble solids of Wort (°Plato)
before the addition of yeast prior to fermentation.
