The SCHMIDT + HAENSCH electronic reflectance-meter for automatic color grading of crystalline sugar according to recommendations of ICUMSA, method GS2-11 (1994) and GS2-13 (1994). With this instrument the reflectance factors at 495 nm and 620 nm are measured and the ratio is indicated in terms of color type numbers. The consistent use of high integrated circuits, very little heating, and easily detachable lighting unit ensure that the Saccharoflex 2020 is a reliable and easily maintainable measurement system which corresponds to the high SCHMIDT + HAENSCH quality standard. Ceramic calibration standards are also available.
