Anton Paar’s Packaged Beer Measurement Systems are single lab systems designed to swiftly analyze your final beer’s specification. Our market-leading instruments cover the entire beer industry: We offer solutions to customers ranging from craft breweries to the largest players of the industry, all of whom are committed to the consistent quality of their products, providing the most comprehensive measurement system. All systems deliver automated analysis suited to the individual requirements in just three minutes – up to nine times faster than conventional methods.
Key features
Final quality assurance in 3 minutes
Fortify your production control with confidence in the final product: The Packaged Beer Measurement system measures all key parameters directly from the final package. Rely on batch-to-batch consistency at the storage tank already and confirm after bottling to conform with legal requirements. Immediately detect performance issues at the filler and optimize your filling process. The 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 system unites unique measuring principles for alcohol and CO2. Selectively determine alcohol content with Anton Paar's market-leading Alcolyzer and selectively measure CO2 without influence from other sample ingredients. The system delivers certainty on tax declarations based on alcohol or CO2 levels, and enables you to nail down the CO2 concentration for each of your beer styles and thrill your customers with an unmatched taste experience – all without the need for sample preparation.
Zero sample preparation
The direct, pressurized filling of a sample in a Packaged Beer Measurement system eliminates the need for sample preparation, use of glassware, and potential contamination of the product. It eliminates operator interaction with the sample and ensures airtight reliability of analysis results. The final package – either a can, glass bottle or PET bottle – is placed into the PFD filling device for direct sample transfer. The system handles any package closure type.
Easy calibration and product-independent adjustment
The system is simply calibrated and adjusted with water and a binary solution. Fully automated instructions lead you through the calibration and adjustment procedure. The superior density meter ensures complete traceability of the sample filling and measurement process through FillingCheck™ and U-View™. New recipes aren’t a challenge: All samples are measured straight away, with no need for any product-specific calibrations.
Individual system setup, with upgrade possibility
The modular setup of the Packaged Beer Measurement system lets you configure your ideal measurement solution, including all the parameters you need. Analyze all required quality parameters from a single sample on a single system in a single measurement cycle and minimize 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. It measures more than 50 quality parameters from a single package and delivers all parameters at the push of a button in a single data set. 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 capacities. Easily switch between different package types – the system automatically centers your package before piercing. Cans are easily analyzed upside-down, entirely eliminating any risk of leaks during the piercing process.
