Process refractometers are highly precise inline measuring instruments that continuously determine the refractive index as well as the concentration and mixing ratios of liquids during production. They enable real-time monitoring without the need for sampling, ensuring consistently high product quality. They are used in the food and beverage industry, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, sugar production, paper industry, and many other sectors where precise concentration measurement and process control are essential.
By integrating directly into pipelines or tanks, process refractometers provide immediate measurement results, enabling automatic control and regulation of processes. This allows production parameters to be optimally adjusted, reducing raw material consumption and energy costs.
Your benefits at a glance:
Continuous inline measurement without sampling
High precision and reliability under process conditions
Real-time data for process optimisation and quality assurance
Robust design for demanding industrial environments
Discover our range of process refractometers and optimise your production with precise and reliable concentration measurements directly in the process.
Digital handheld refractometers combine the flexibility of classic handheld models with the high accuracy of digital measurement technology. They enable fast and precise determination of refractive index or specific scales such as °Brix directly on site without relying on laboratory instruments. Thanks to their digital display, reading errors are eliminated, ensuring reliable results.
They are used in the food and beverage industry, viticulture, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. Compact, lightweight, and easy to clean, many models also offer automatic temperature compensation for precise measurements even under changing ambient temperatures.

The KRÜSS DR301-95 is both a high-quality mobile handheld device and a simple digital desktop device. In addition to the refractive index and sugar content, it can also measure the salt content (%) (NaCl). On request, the DR301-95 can be manufactured with any two other scales. Via the menu control it is possible to switch on the automatic temperature compensation for each scale – with measurement reference to sucrose. An alarm option can be set up for monitoring limit values in production processes. The supplied Mains adaptor turns the DR301-95 into a small laboratory refractometer. In mobile use, it is operated with a 9 V block battery. The DR301-95 is used in the food and beverage industry, in pharmacies, laboratories
The DR201-95 is a compact, mobile and splash-proof digital handheld refractometer. It is used to measure the refractive index (nD) and the sugar content in % (%Brix) of liquid and viscous samples. Thanks to the automatic temperature compensation for the BRIX scale, a reproducible measurement can be achieved even under changing ambient conditions. The automatic temperature compensation for the BRIX scale supports the user when measuring sugary drinks and confectionery. The device is splash-proof and meets the IP64 standard. The DR201-95 is used in the food and beverage industry, in pharmacies, laboratories and testing laboratories as well as in research and teaching.
KRÜSS DR101-60 is a compact, mobile and splash-proof digital handheld refractometer. Thanks to the automatic temperature compensation for the BRIX scale, a reproducible measurement can be achieved even under changing ambient conditions. As a waterproof device, the DR101-60 meets the IP65 standard and can be cleaned under running water. The DR101-60 is used in the food and beverage industry, in pharmacies, laboratories and testing laboratories as well as in research and teaching.
The KRÜSS AR4 is a classic Abbe refractometer. The scales can be set manually using the drive knob and the refractive index and Brix values are read off using an eyepiece. The temperature is measured with the integrated digital thermometer and displayed on the LCD. The AR4 refractometer can be connected to a circulation thermostat for temperature control. This device can be used in a wide range of applications: for identity checking, purity control and concentration determination of raw materials, semi-finished products and end products or for determining the sugar concentration as well as for incoming and outgoing goods inspection.
KRÜSS AR2008 is an Abbe refractometer in which the sample is placed between a measuring and illumination prism.
