KOLOS-2 Kolos-2 analyzer of alcohol-containing beverages is designed to measure mass fraction of ethyl alcohol and mass fraction of extract in alcohol-containing beverages of alcohol, low-alcohol products, and water-alcohol solutions, as well as the extract content of original wort as per the methodology for measurements attested in the established order.
A brief description of indicators available in the basic model of the analyzer.
The instrument can be used in food industry, reclamation industry, at testing and analytical laboratories in brewing and alcoholic beverage industry, in production and reprocessing of wine-making products, as well as for the express analysis used during the expert control of quality of goods and materials.
The operation principle of the analyzer is based on the fact that ultrasonic oscillations are passed through the sample, and the output signal values are registered versus the values of measured parameters of alcohol-containing liquid.
The analyzer is a portable desktop device comprising a sample receptacle with the system of thermal stabilisation, a source of ultrasonic oscillations, a detector, an amplifier, a microprocessor-controlled data processing and logging unit, and an LCD screen. The instrument is microprocessor-controlled.
In its basic make, the instrument is shipped with one of the following calibrations: “For beer”, “For wine”, or “For strong drinks (vodka, cognac)”. At extra charge, up to any 10 calibrations can be written into the instrument at the manufacturing plant. Currently, we are offering calibrations for low-alcohol products, fortified drinks – over 20% (liquors, nalivka, etc.). For drinks which do not fall within any of the popular groups of alcoholic beverages (special kinds of desert wines, liquors of high contents of dry substances), we recommend doing a custom calibration either by the user, or at the manufacturing plant.
The instrument allows for a new calibration by the user without changing calibration characteristics already recorded into the microprocessor’s memory.
The analyzer’s operation is synchronised with the computer interface to load various calibration characteristics, to analyze and process the resultant data. At the same time, the analyzer can be operated as a standalone unit. It can be also operated from a car battery and in the field conditions.
