Key features
Final quality assurance in 3 minutes
Fortify your production control with confidence in the final product. The Packaged Beer Measurement systems measure all key parameters directly from the final package. Ensure batch-to-batch consistency at the storage tank and confirm compliance with legal requirements after bottling. Detect filler performance issues immediately to optimize your filling process. Simultaneous analysis of all quality parameters with a single Packaged Beer Measurement system reduces analysis time to just three minutes – over nine times quicker than conventional methods.
Selective alcohol and CO₂ determination
The Packaged Beer Measurement systems combine unique measuring principles for alcohol and CO2. Selectively determine alcohol content using Anton Paar's market-leading Alcolyzer and measure CO2 without interference from other sample ingredients. This provides certainty for tax declarations based on alcohol or CO2 levels, enabling you to nail down CO2 concentrations for each beer style – delivering an unmatched taste experience.
Minimal sample preparation
Direct, pressurized sample filling using the Packaged Beer Measurement systems eliminates the need for sample preparation, glassware, and the risk of potential contamination of the product. It also removes operator interaction with the sample – ensuring airtight and reliable analysis results. The system handles any package closure type, with the final package – whether it’s a can, glass bottle, or PET bottle – being placed into the PFD filling device for direct sample transfer. Features like U-View, U-Dry, U-Pulse, and FillingCheck are engineered to maximize usability and reliability, delivering seamless operation and the most dependable results.
Easy calibration and product-independent adjustment
The system is calibrated and adjusted using just water and a binary solution, providing fully automated instructions to guide you through the procedure. The superior density meter ensures complete traceability of the sample filling and measurement process via FillingCheck and U-View. New recipes are no challenge – all samples are measured straightaway, with no need for any product-specific calibration.
Individual system setup, with upgrade possibility
The modular design of the Packaged Beer Measurement systems lets you configure your ideal measurement solution with all the parameters you need. Analyze all required quality parameters from a single sample, on a single system, in a single measurement cycle – minimizing complexity in your laboratory.
World’s best beer analyzing system: Beer measurement including TPO analysis
An integrated TPO 5000 total package oxygen meter is the high-end solution for quality control of beer. Measuring more than 50 quality parameters from a single package, it delivers all parameters in a single data set – at the push of a button. An automated leak test, combined with O2 performance verification and automatic cleaning routines, guarantees the highest efficiency in final quality control and frees up operator capacity. Packages are automatically centered before piercing, allowing for easy switching between package types, and cans can be analyzed upside-down to eliminate the risk of leaks during the piercing process.
