Near-infrared internal quality sensor Imes10
Proven reliability, superior technology
A near-infrared spectroscopic internal quality sensor (optical sensor). It measures the sugar content (Brix), acidity and other properties of citrus, peaches, tomatoes, pears and more at high speed. A transmission method with a halogen light source ensures accurate measurement. Operation is simple and intuitive, and you can build calibration curves yourself. The design also makes maintenance tasks such as replacing the halogen lamp easy.
