Solids Measurement Solutions for Various Industries
Total Solids as a Core Process Variable
Across the process industries, total solids measurement is a key variable for monitoring and controlling production. Reliable, accurate measurement data is essential for real-time process control and for maintaining stable, efficient operation.
Total solids and concentration are described using different terms depending on the industry and application. Commonly used variables include concentration, consistency, density, specific gravity, solids content, total solids content, and Baumé. Many measurement devices are designed to provide readings calibrated to a single variable only.
Inmec’s digital microwave sensors use advanced measurement algorithms that allow a single sensor to be calibrated to provide readings in multiple total solids–related variables. This flexibility enables the same measurement platform to support different process requirements and reporting conventions without changes to the underlying sensor hardware.
Sugar Industry
The sugar industry relies on accurate Brix measurement across multiple stages of production, from raw material handling through to refined products. Inmec’s digital microwave sensors are used across sugar industry operations where stable, continuous Brix data supports consistent operation, product quality, and process control.
Food & Beverage Industry
The food and beverage industry depends on consistent concentration measurement across a wide range of liquid and semi-liquid products.
Inmec’s digital microwave sensors are used where stable, continuous concentration data supports product consistency, process control, and efficient day-to-day operation.
Other Process Industries
Beyond food and beverage, many industrial sectors rely on continuous concentration or density measurement as part of their core process operation. Inmec’s digital microwave sensors are used in process industries where stable measurement must be maintained despite buildup, coating, and extended production cycles.
