Atago PAL-83S Digital Wine Refractometer

The Atago PAL-83S is a high-precision digital handheld refractometer specifically designed for the wine industry. This compact "Pocket" series model is equipped with the KMW (Klosterneuburger Mostwaage) scale, also known as the Babo scale, which is the standard for measuring must weight and sugar content in Central European viticulture. Its ergonomic and lightweight design makes it the perfect tool for winemakers who need rapid and meticulous data both in the vineyard and the winery.

Built for durability and hygiene, the PAL-83S features an IP65 rating, allowing the entire unit to be safely rinsed under running water after use. The Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) ensures consistent accuracy within a 10°C to 40°C range, eliminating reading errors caused by environmental temperature shifts. Requiring only a minimal sample of 2-3 drops, the Atago PAL-83S provides results in approximately 3 seconds. Powered by two AAA batteries—offering up to 11,000 measurements—this instrument combines laboratory precision with the rugged portability required for professional harvest management.
