Multiparameter Measurement System:
Soft Drink Measurement System
- Production monitoring from (diet) syrup to finished beverages
- Simultaneous determination of % Diet, °Brix, and pH
- Automated measurement eliminates operator influence
- Analyze 20+ samples per hour
- DMA 5001 Sound Velocity, Xsample 520, pH 3101
Optimize your beverage production with our Soft Drink Measurement System - monitor every step from syrup to the final product. Whether it's regular or diet, our system delivers precise °Brix and % Diet concentration analysis. With automated sample changers for seamless filling, you’ll achieve flawless consistency, eliminate production variations, and perfect your dilution ratio settings.
Key features
Analyze your entire portfolio of soft drinks and ready-to-drink beverages
The superior DMA 5001 Sound Velocity monitors your entire production process, analyzing all types of (diet) syrups and soft drinks to safeguard product quality and eliminate out-of-spec production.
- Determine the concentration of fresh, actual, and inverted sugar in syrups and finished soft drinks with a repeatability of 0.01 °Brix
- Analyze the degree of inversion in syrups and finished soft drinks
- Reduce reference analysis for diet products to an absolute minimum

Optimize your measurement processes with automation
For automated analysis of (diet) syrups and degassed final beverages, pair DMA 5001 Sound Velocity with automatic sample changers:
- Xsample 320: Automated single sample filling
- Xsample 330: Automated filling and cleaning
- Xsample 520: Automates the filling and cleaning of up to 24 samples consecutively
Additionally, combine DMA 5001 Sound Velocity with pH 3101 for pH determination.

Results six times faster than with conventional methods
- Determine % Diet concentration, °Brix, and pH value at the same time
- Reduce diet reference analysis time by 75 %
- Obtain reproducible results with a minimum of reference measurements with our patented Pulsed Excitation Method
- Delivers highly accurate results across all sample types, including viscous syrups, due to automated viscosity correction

Make QC easier with intuitive software
There is no need for highly skilled operators as built-in wizards guide users through measurement and adjustment processes.
- Software-guided adjustment procedure lets anyone manage quality control of diet products – no special training required
- Provides a variety of pre-configured output quantities and integrates seamlessly with AP Connect, our lab execution software
- Features Davis 5 software for automating inline sensor adjustments, reducing the need for manual operator interaction

Be confident about your results
New technology, such as the patented Pulsed Excitation Method and further features, deliver the best results on the market, so you can detect even the smallest deviations in your continuous production and react quickly to minimize downtimes.
- FillingCheck™: Instantly identifies filling errors by detecting gas bubbles or particles, issuing warnings when necessary
- U-View™ camera: Continuous monitoring with live images of the filled U-tube, ensuring real-time detection of any discrepancies and guaranteeing accurate results by preventing distortion from filling errors
- ThermoBalance™: Delivers accurate results immediately following any changes in measurement temperature
- An optional barcode reader identifies each sample’s name, making every measurement traceable for your documentation
