Beverage and Soft Drink Analysis

CO2 Meter in Beverages - CarboQC

CarboQC is the precise CO2 meter which allows reliable QC on finished packages as well as highly accurate measurements in the laboratory for product development. It gives you fast, accurate and reliable determination of dissolved carbon dioxide in beverages. When combined with Anton Paar’s PFD filling device, sample is taken directly from the package into the measuring chamber of CarboQC - with no loss of dissolved carbon dioxide during sample transfer. CarboQC for the laboratory provides reliable CO2results, even out of very small packages.

High accuracy, more benefit

·       CO2 measurement based on the patented Multiple Volume Expansion method guarantees repeatability standard deviations of 0.005 vol.

·       No influence of other dissolved gases such as air or nitrogen

Efficient and quick to finish

·       Low sample volume of around 100 mL provides reliable CO2 results, even out of very small packages

·       PFD filling device transfers sample from the package into the measuring chamber without any loss of CO2

·       CO2 results after only 55 seconds

·       Intuitive user interface with clearly arranged navigation of the menu

·       Ready to go once out of the box

·       Clear sample identification for full traceability of 500 measurement results

Built-in support for the most precise results

·       FillingCheck™: automatically detects filling errors and generates a warning message

·       System Check: guides the operator through recommended periodical checks

Modular options for the future

·       Extend or build your own measuring system in the future by connecting a DMA™ Generation M density meter or Soft Drink Analyzer M (with software release 2.40) with further Anton Paar modules and measure up to seven parameters in one measuring cycle

Fast and wireless

·       Bluetooth interface for wireless printing

·       USB interface for data transfer to a PC

·       RFID interface for changing measurement settings quickly by reading RFID tags

Combined CO2 and O2 Meter in Beverages - CboxQC

CboxQC™ is the precise combined CO2 and O2 meter which allows reliable QC on finished packages as well as highly accurate measurements in the laboratory for product development. It gives you fast, accurate, and reliable determination of dissolved carbon dioxide and oxygen in beverages. When combined with Anton Paar’s PFD filling device, sample is taken directly from the package into the measuring chamber of CboxQC™ – with no loss of dissolved carbon dioxide and dissolved oxygen during sample transfer. CboxQC™ for the laboratory provides reliable CO2 and O2 results, even out of very small packages.

Built-in support for the most precise results

·       FillingCheck™: automatically detects filling errors and generates a warning message

·       SystemCheck: guides the operator through recommended periodical checks

TPO quick check

·       The TPO (total package oxygen) value can be calculated via Anton Paar’s free software AP-SoftPrint or by connecting to a DMA™ Generation M system

Modular options for the future

·       Extend or build your own measuring system in the future by connecting a DMA™ Generation M density meter or Soft Drink Analyzer M (with software release 2.40) with further Anton Paar modules and measure up to seven parameters in one measuring cycle

Packaged Beverage Analyzer System PBA-S

The PBA-S Generation M (Packaged Beverage Analyzer for Soft Drinks) is the up-to-date measuring system for beverage analysis. Determine sugar (°Brix) and CO2 in soft drinks without prior sample degassing. The beverage is filled into the analysis system directly from its container and is then measured within three minutes: °Brix and CO2 content are determined in a single work step.The modular system consists of the DMA™ 4100/4500/5000 M density meter, the CarboQC ME CO2 measuring module, and the PFD Filling Device (Plus).

Precise beverage analysis without sample preparation

·       No sample preparation required (no degassing, no filtering)

·       Measurement directly out of glass bottles, PET bottles and cans

·       Precise determination of °Brix and CO2

·       Additional output: Package pressure and dissolved air

Fast, comfortable and safe

·       Measuring time: 3 minutes

·       Modular design (Plug and Play)

·       Intuitive touchscreen operation

·       U-view™: Live image of DMA™ M measuring cell from a built-in camera

·       Safe and clean sample handling with the PFD Filling Device (Plus)

10.4" touchscreen

·       Applies state-of-the-art PCAP technology

·       Provides a premium user experience and overview
