Bricks Meter for Perfect Dilution Every Time (Optical)

Product Description:

A Bricks meter, also known as a refractometer, is a crucial tool for slushy syrup dilution, ensuring every mix yields optimal results. Here’s why every slushy machine owner needs one:

Accurate Dilution:

Mixing syrup with water requires precision. A Bricks meter measures the sugar concentration in your mix, ensuring your slushy reaches the correct consistency. If the syrup is too concentrated, it won’t freeze properly, and a diluted mix can cause the machine to ice up. A Bricks meter ensures you get it right, avoiding waste and inconsistency.

Simple Operation:

Our digital and optical Bricks meters are user-friendly. With a few drops of the diluted syrup, the meter will instantly show the sugar content. It measures how light refracts through the solution, giving an accurate sugar percentage in the mix.

Optimal Slushy Texture:

Slushies generally work best between 10.5 and 14.5 BRIX, depending on your machine’s settings. By knowing your precise sugar concentration, you can adjust the mixture to create the ideal texture for your machine.

Training & Maintenance:

Use a Bricks meter to train staff on accurate syrup mixing and ensure consistent product quality. It also helps troubleshoot machine issues; if the slushy mix isn’t freezing properly, check the BRIX level to identify if it’s due to the mix ratio.
Enhanced Flavor Experimentation: If you mix different fruit juices with your slushy syrup, a Bricks meter lets you tailor the sugar content to perfection, helping you create new and unique flavors that consistently delight customers.

A quick note of caution when selecting a refractometer:

There are multiple types on the market, each designed for specific uses. Some refractometers measure salinity, which is great for marine applications but not for slushies. Others are designed for substances like honey, which have a sugar scale that won’t work for our purposes. That’s why the refractometers sold by us at Boom are specifically selected and calibrated for slushy use. It’s crucial to choose the right tool to ensure accuracy and consistency in your slushy mixtures.
Choose between our optical and digital models:

Optical Bricks Meter: Look through the sight glass to see a scale indicating the syrup’s sugar concentration.
Digital Bricks Meter: Add a few drops to the designated area and get an instant digital readout of the BRIX level.

Enhanced Flavor Experimentation: If you mix different fruit juices with your slushy syrup, a BRIX meter lets you tailor the sugar content to perfection, helping you create new and unique flavors that consistently delight customers. Another great advantage of using a BRIX meter is the ability to experiment creatively with your offerings. Whether you’re adding alcohol, real fruit juice, or exotic tropical flavors, the meter ensures that you maintain the correct sugar levels for optimal machine operation. This means you can innovate freely, knowing exactly how your additions will affect the slushy’s consistency and freeze rate, allowing for consistent quality and customer satisfaction.
