Key features

Top price-performance ratio

Top price-performance ratio

  • Our sensors ensure continuous accurate measurements for excellent quality control
  • Fastest continuous measurement of concentration values on the market (one second measuring cycles) ensure rapid and precise control of ABV, OE, and CO2
  • All-in-one package includes Anton Paar’s Beer Monitor 5600 with all sensors at an unbeatable price (approx. 30 % less expensive than buying it separately)
Tried-and-tested customer-specific solution and quick commissioning

Tried-and-tested customer-specific solution and quick commissioning

  • Flex-Blend’s Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) covers your full production spectrum and gives you the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’ve chosen the right supplier
  • Comprehensive testing in the factory guarantees minimal implementation effort and risk, giving you short production ramp up times for any systems purchased
  • Customers can attend FAT in person or online (via AnyDesk, Webex, etc.)
Small volume and compact footprint

Small volume and compact footprint

  • Fits anywhere – even under extreme space constraints
  • Inline solution without tanks reduces product losses to a minimum, even for small production batches (small overall system volume of 12 liters – DN 40)
Maintenance-free design and highest technical availability

Maintenance-free design and highest technical availability

  • Service-friendly design and maintenance-free sensors ensure low operating costs
  • Flex-Blend 3000 offers remote access for service support with short reaction times at any time
Simple and powerful multi-product management

Simple and powerful multi-product management

  • Intelligent recipe management via integrated PLC with a touchscreen simplifies your handling of multiple products and production batches
  • Improved batch-to-batch continuity (less than 30 seconds to produce according to specs after a batch starts) of QC parameters is based on recipe-specific management of calibration data and controller settings, which results in less waste and higher productivity
  • Calibrating the Flex-Blend 3000 system with reference values measured by our laboratory instrumentation (e.g., Alex 500 alcohol meter, DMA density meters, CarboQC CO2 meter) ensures no out-of-spec production
Quality assurance and tracking

Quality assurance and tracking

  • Flex-Blend 3000 provides documented quality and reports per production lot without the need of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
  • Davis 5 records and archives production data in a database for real-time documentation, enabling closer alignment to exact product specifications
  • Generates reports for in-spec production, which guarantees correct product declaration – especially for alcohol content
