Click2Contact

Centec’s Carbotec-PT inline carbonation monitoring system offers precise, rapid measurement of the CO₂ content of carbonated beverages. Based on the pressure/temperature method, it is designed for continuous measurement of the CO₂ content of beer, wine, cider and sparkling water.

Typical applications include monitoring CO₂ content for quality control and process control in either a beverage line or in-tank.

To determine the CO₂ content, a 25 mL beverage sample is automatically taken from the beverage line every 15 s. After the measurement the sample is returned to the beverage line. The Carbotec-PT covers the full range of 0-10 g/L and can be displayed in volumes or g/L.

The Carbotec-PT has onboard electronics/display and does not need a separate signal. Menu-driven software includes the product-specific calibration and product type selection. The Carbotec-PT connects to a process control PLC using standard PLC I/O or PLC bus system.

The sensor has a fully hygienic construction, can be cleaned in place with a normal line CIP system and does not need special cleaning. The Carbotec-PT connects to a beverage line using a Varivent inline access housing and requires minimal yearly maintenance.
