Get results for °Brix and CO₂ content in three minutes and for % Diet in six minutes – up to 6x faster than conventional methods. The Packaged Soft Drink Measurement System combines up to four instruments to determine all quality parameters for regular, mid-calorie, and diet soft drinks as well as (diet) energy drinks and carbonated bottled water in one go. There is zero preparation or intermittent cleaning required, saving you up to two hours a day. This fast quality control for soft drinks helps you optimize your blending process, ensures ideal carbonation levels, and guarantees confidence in the final bottled product.

Key features

All quality control tests for soft drinks in one go

Determine % Diet, °Brix, and CO₂ concentration with a single system in a single measuring cycle.
Analyze your entire soft drink portfolio, including regular, mid-calorie, and diet soft drinks, energy drinks, and carbonated water.
Reduce reference analysis for diet products to an absolute minimum to free up lab capacities.
Safeguard final product quality and eliminate out-of-spec production.

Speed up soft drink quality control by 600 %

Parallel analysis of all parameters in only three to six minutes (depending on system configuration) – more than 6x faster than conventional methods.
Automatic pressurized filling directly from glass bottles, PET bottles, and cans. There is zero operator influence.
No degassing required: Save up to seven minutes per sample for degassing and filtration. Additionally, benefit from automatic CO₂ correction of all measurement results.
Software-guided adjustment procedure lets anyone manage quality control of diet products – no special training required.

Set up your individual measurement system

In its basic version, the Packaged Soft Drink Measurement System determines the three most important soft drink parameters: °Brix, CO₂ concentration, and density.
For determination of % Diet, the system is simply configured with a different controlling instrument.
Precisely monitor your sugar inversion process by incorporating DMA 5001 Sound Velocity into your measurement system.
To perfect your analysis, upgrade your basic system with modular extensions for measurement of dissolved O₂ and pH.
Increase system efficiency and confidence in your final product quality with every module added.
