Key features
Alcohol measurement with easy procedures – no human errors
- Temperature correction of results is done automatically: no need for temperature correction tables
- Values are shown in %v/v (corrected to 20 °C or 15 °C for the Japanese market) or °Proof (corrected to 60 °F)
- Fine-tune your spirit’s alcoholic strength with an accuracy of 0.1 %v/v (Snap 51) or 0.2 %v/v (Snap 41) and save valuable pure distilled spirits.
- The influence of viscosity on your result is automatically corrected.
- Calibration and adjustments are easy to perform with deionized water, following the predefined routine.
- Snap 51 can identify samples via RFID for excellent traceability of results
- Read results from the large color screen. With Snap 51 you can store them and print or export them to a PC via Bluetooth® later on.
Use the same portable alcohol meter along the whole production process
- Alcohol measuring range from 0 %v/v to 100 %v/v
- All your glass hydrometers are replaced by one digital alcohol hydrometer.
- You can use Snap 51 during all stages of spirits production.
- The sugar concentration in fruit juices can also be measured.
- If you already have an alcohol meter in your lab, use Snap 41/51 for additional quick checks during production or for intake control.
Perform your alcohol measurements on-site in 30 seconds
- 2 mL of sample are taken directly from the storage container with the help of the built-in pump.
- Gesture control enables one-hand operation so you can hold steady when measuring difficult to reach samples.
- Convenient left- and right-handed use
- Measuring cell with inspection window and backlight for convenient inspection of proper sample filling.
- Automatically rotating screen for conveniently readable results at any instrument position
- The newly designed metal bracket ensures a stable, balanced positioning of the instrument on the sample container.
An impressively long working life
- Robust measuring cell made of metal (Inconel) with a splash-proof housing and hard-glass front
- Operated via capacitive keys with a sensitivity suitable for use with or without gloves
- Designed for on-site use at the storage location of your spirits
- Special rubber protection for measuring cell included to absorb knocks during routine operation
A high-class digital alcohol meter from the market leader
- The alcohol concentration is derived from a highly accurate density measurement based on the oscillating U-tube principle.
- Anton Paar is the market leader in this technology and has more than 50 years of experience.
- Digital alcohol meters from Anton Paar are the industry standard, used by large-scale distilleries, governmental organizations, and craft distilleries.
