How can an online process refractometer play a role in the production of coffee drinks?

1. Raw material preparation stage:

1.1 Accurately control the ratio of coffee to water: When making coffee drinks, the ratio of coffee powder to water is a key factor affecting the taste and concentration of coffee. The inline process refractometer can monitor the concentration of coffee solution in real time during the preparation process to ensure that each batch of coffee drinks can maintain a consistent concentration during the raw material preparation process. For example, when producing American coffee, the amount of water added can be accurately controlled through the monitoring of the online concentration meter, so that the concentration of coffee is stabilized within a suitable range to ensure the taste and quality of the product.

1.2 Monitor the amount of additives added: For coffee drinks with added additives such as sugar and creamer, the online concentration meter can accurately monitor the concentration of additives to help producers accurately control the amount of additives used to meet the taste needs of different consumers for coffee sweetness, milk flavor and other tastes.

2. Monitoring the extraction process:

2.1 Optimizing extraction time and temperature: Extraction is a key step in coffee making. Changes in extraction time and temperature will directly affect the concentration and taste of coffee. The inline process refractometer can monitor the concentration changes of the coffee solution during the extraction process in real time. Producers can adjust the extraction time and temperature in time according to the concentration data to ensure the best extraction effect of coffee. For example, when the online concentration meter shows that the coffee concentration is too low, the extraction time can be appropriately extended or the extraction temperature can be increased; conversely, when the concentration is too high, the extraction time can be shortened or the extraction temperature can be lowered.

2.2 Determining the end point of extraction: The end point of extraction can be accurately determined by real-time monitoring of the concentration of the coffee solution by the online concentration meter. When the concentration of the coffee solution reaches the preset target value, the extraction can be stopped to avoid over-extraction or under-extraction, thereby ensuring the stable quality of each cup of coffee.

3. Concentration and drying process:

3.1 Monitoring the concentration process: When producing instant coffee and other coffee products that need to be concentrated, the inline process refractometer can monitor the concentration changes of the coffee solution in real time, helping producers control the degree of concentration and ensure that the concentration of the coffee meets the product requirements. For example, during the vacuum concentration process, according to the data feedback from the online concentration meter, the concentration time and temperature can be adjusted in time to ensure that the concentration and flavor of the coffee are not lost.

3.2 Quality control of the drying process: During the drying process, the concentration of the coffee will change further. The inline process refractometer can monitor the concentration of the coffee in real time during the drying process, helping producers to grasp the progress and effect of the drying, and ensure that the quality and concentration of the dried coffee powder meet the standards.

4. Finished product quality inspection:

4.1 Rapid detection of finished product concentration: After the production of coffee drinks is completed, the inline process refractometer can quickly detect the concentration of the finished product to ensure that each batch of coffee drinks meets the quality standards. Compared with traditional manual detection methods, online concentration meters are faster and more accurate, which can greatly improve production efficiency and product quality.

4.2 Quality traceability and data analysis: The inline process refractometer can record the concentration data of the coffee solution during the production process. These data are of great significance for quality traceability and optimization of the production process. Producers can analyze these data to understand the changes and trends in the production process, find out the existing problems and directions for improvement, and thus continuously improve the production quality and efficiency of coffee drinks.
