Key features

Enhancing beverage production

The Spirits Measurement System enhances the accuracy of measuring apparent extract, pH, and density, leading to consistent and efficient beverage production processes. These systems optimize mashing efficiency and maximize ingredient potential, giving producers a competitive edge. In fermentation, real-time density, alcohol, and pH measurements ensure high-quality outputs, facilitate timely interventions, and optimize yields. Additionally, during distillation and storage, precise alcohol and density measurements ensure the integrity of spirits, prevent adulteration, and meet stringent taxation requirements, ultimately safeguarding the product's quality and reputation.

Safeguarding visual properties

Level up your high-class spirits with turbidity, apparent extract, and color measurement to ensure proper filtration, legal compliance, consistent quality, and guaranteed customer satisfaction. Accurate determination of apparent extract creates well-balanced flavors, while color and turbidity measurement enhances visual appeal. By eliminating sample preparation, errors and variability are minimized, resulting in reliable and reproducible outcomes.

Benefits of product-independent adjustment and calibration

Calibrating and adjusting analytical equipment often requires a lot of time. However, Anton Paar’s Spirits Measurement System simplifies this process with intuitive features, from guided instructions to fully automatic calibration, minimizing the effort needed for performance checks. These capabilities ensure accurate alcohol content determination in liqueurs.
