Sugar Colour in Solution

Colour is Quality!

 

Colour in solution is a major parameter of sugar quality. The traditional determination of colour in the laboratory is time-consuming and costly. It has very limited value for process control, because the sugar reaches the silo long before the colour of samples has been determined in the laboratory.

Fully Automatic

 

The Neltec ColourQ 2100 is an in-line colorimeter for automatic determination of sugar colour in solution in ICUMSA units (Methods GS2/3-9 (2000) or GS2/3-10 (1998)). Every few seconds the instrument takes and displays new measurement. It can measure wet or dry crystals, and take measurements from belt, screw, or shaking conveyors.

Dry Sugar Application

Wet Sugar Application

This instrument measuring dry sugar is installed on a belt conveyor at the Union SDA beet sugar factory in Origny, France.

This photo shows the Neltec ColourQ 2100 on a conveyor with wet sugar at the Saint Louis Sucre refinery in Marseille, France.

An Ideal Tool for Process Control

The measurements can be applied to process control and centrifugal optimisation. With the Neltec ColourQ 2100, you can control washing, for instance, to avoid unnecessarily melting good sugar in your centrifugals.
