Setting BRIX
BRIX is important to the quality of the final product. The BRIX menu provides a measured amount of product with a constant
volume so that a BRIX comparison can be made between samples. The unit is set to provide a three second dispense of the
product for BRIX testing.
Testing BRIX Level
The BRIX Setup menu is located on the Maintenance menu. The Maintenance menu is shown in Figure 27.
Figure 27.
The BRIX Setup menu facilitates the extraction of a sample of product from the unit for BRIX measurement. There is a three
second dispense that produces a constant volume dispense so that BRIX comparison can be made between samples.
