The Alcohol Meter ALM-155 is a dedicated, small size and high performance bench top density meter with oscillating capillary tube for the analysis of oenology, spirits and beer. The analysis of density and specific gravity in alcohol products has never been so easy and accessible for any budget. The ALM-155 displays results with high resolution of 0.01% for alcohol content and 0.00001 g/cm3 for density. Additionally, with the Peltier thermostat system, the temperature is fixed at exactly 20°C.
One button measurement with small sample volume
The ALM-155 is equipped with peristaltic pump for automatic sampling. The required sample volume is only 8mL and can be used for repeatability testing with the automatic repeating function. The analysis of alcohold content (on the distilled wine sample) or density (on wine as it is) is perfomred in two to four minutes for one measurement by pressing just one button. When high-viscosity samples are measured, an optional syringe can be utilised to introduce the sample into the measurement cell, which makes the ALM-155 suitable for the analysis of any alcohol products.
Simple calibration with pure water and easy maintenance
The calibration of the ALM-155 does not require expensive standards, only pure water. After analysis, the unit can be cleaned by simply washing the cell with pure water or a kitchen detergent. The only replacement parts are the sampling tubes and those can be replaced by the user. The daily perfomrance check can be easily performed by the operators, and requires pure water only.
Automatic saving results with digital data
The results do not need to be recorded by hand. An optional printer can automatically print out the results once the measurement is completed. The ALM-155 can also store up to 100 measurements. The data can be transferred to a connected USB flash drive or to optional PC software.
The ALM-155 is suitable for:
WINERIESAlcohol is the main legal parameter for bottled wines. The declaration of fake values can accrue severe penalties for wine producers. For this reason, the analysis of wine must be done in accordance with official analysis methods. It is very important to check density, specific gravity and alcohol content during wine fermentation, in order to control its quality.
MUST PRODUCTIONThe density of grape juice indicates the amount of sugar contained in the juice before fermentation. It can determine the expected alcohol content in wines, so it is important to analyse its density accurately.
OENOLOGICAL LABORATORIESIn addition to providing analytical support to wineries, these laboratories can release certificates of analysis with legal validity. As well as wineries, these laboratories have to perform analyses in accordance to the official analysis methods in order to be certain of the accuracy of the values they are certifying.
DISTILLERIESCompanies producing spirits have products with a high alcohol content. The ALM-155 is a high performance instrument working in the whole concentration range from 0% to 100% alcohol content.
BEER PRODUCTIONMonitoring density and specific gravity during the beer production process is very important for the quality of the final product.
VINEGAR MAKINGVinegar is obtained by the oxidisation of the ethanol content of wine, cider, beer, other fermented alcoholic beverages, or raw materials such as malt, rice or fruit. Checking the alcohol content during the oxidisation process is important to understanding when the ethanol has completely converted to acetic acid.
