PBA-S/SI Generation MPackaged Beverage Analyzers for Soft Drinks::: Unique Density & Concentration Meters

PBA-S M and PBA-SI M:Two Strong TeamsPBA-S M and PBA-SI M are analysis systems forthe determination of Brix and CO2 in soft drinkscontaining sugar: PBA-S M applies to sampleswithout sugar inversion and PBA-SI M applies tosamples with sugar inversion. The beverage is filledinto the analysis system directly from its containerwithout any sample preparation, and is thenmeasured fast and with unprecedented precision.The Packaged Beverage Analyzer for Soft Drinks(PBA-S M) consists of the density meterDMA 4100 M, DMA 4500 M or DMA 5000 M for Brix determination, the CO2 meter CarboQC ME andthe PFD filling system. In the PBA-SI M System, theDMA M is replaced by a Soft Drink Analyzer M/P.PBA-S M: The Sum of Great ComponentsDMA 4100/4500/5000 M: The DMA M density metersmeasure density with the oscillating U-tube method.Subsequently, the Brix value is calculated with thedensity. Depending on the accuracy you need, useDMA 4100 M, DMA 4500 M or the most accuratedensity meter on the market, DMA 5000 M.The DMA M unit controls the entire measurement.Measuring data are transferred to the DMA Mdisplay, a printer or a PC, in full compliance withGLP. The data is stored in the DMA M memory.CarboQC ME: CarboQC ME precisely and reliablydetermines the dissolved CO2 content. The patentedmultiple volume expansion method (AT 409673, GB2373584, US 6,874,351) eliminates the influence of otherdissolved gases (e.g. N2 and O2) on the measuring result.PFD: The PFD filling system enables the comfortable,clean and safe filling of the PBA-S M measuring cells fromglass bottles, PET bottles or cans. Due to the appliedoverpressure, no CO2 is lost during filling and measuring.The Heart of PBA-SI M: The Soft Drink Analyzer M/PPBA-SI M externally appears as a compact team ofthree, just like PBA-S M. The difference is that insteadof the DMA M unit a Soft Drink Analyzer M/P is used incombination with CarboQC ME and PFD. The Soft DrinkAnalyzer M/P simultaneously determines both densityand sound velocity in the sample with high precision.CarboQC MEFor the determination of CO2.Optionally, a O2 sensor can bemounted on the CarboQC ME.DMA 4100/4500/5000 MFor the determinationof Brix (PBA-S M)Optional:Soft Drink Analyzer M/PFor the additionaldetermination of Brixfresh, Brix invertedand degree of inversion(PBA-SI M)

PFDFor reproducible filling directly out of thepackage.Two that Instantly DeliverOptionally, the Xsample 510 can be usedinstead for fully automated operation withup to 18 packages.PBA-S M and PBA-SI M keep the CO2 dissolvedthrough overpressure and determine the CO2 contentwhile measuring the density. From the measureddensity, the fraction that is caused by dissolved CO2is eliminated mathematically, then this CO2-correcteddensity value is converted into the Brix.In this way you receive the same Brix and CO2value as with the traditional method, yet with betterreliability and in much less time: Results are providedafter 2-3 minutes only (5 minutes with PBA-SI M).FasterWithout sugar inversionConventionalPBA-S MThermostatting5 minutesDegassing2 minutes Brix measurement3 minutesCO2 measurement2 minutesO2 measurement2 minutesTotal14 minutes3 minutesConventionalPBA-SI MInversionapprox.70 minutesNot needed Brix measurement3 minutesCO2 measurement2 minutesO2 measurement2 minutesTotal77 minutesNot needed3 minutesWith sugar inversion5 minutes5 minutesMore ReliablePBA-S M and PBA-SI M are not only much faster, butalso more reliable than previous routine analyses. Possibleerrors during sample preparation are completely avoided.PBA-S M and PBA-SI M are easy to use and guaranteeexcellent measuring results.More AutomationWith the optional Xsample 510 package sampler, 18samples can be queued to be filled and measuredautomatically.

The End of Time-consumingSample PreparationEmploying the same filling technique as Anton Paar’swell-proven PFD filling system, the Xsample 510automated package sampler simplifies and speedsup work with samples in packages.Apart from putting the package in the rotary table,no other preparation is needed. This high level ofautomation ensures highly reproducible measurementresults.18 different bottles or cans in one cycleThe Xsample 510 is designed to handle up to 18different packages in one measuring cycle, includingglass bottles, PET bottles and different sized cans.Save time and spaceXsample 510 is a benchtop sampler which is easy toclean and maintain. Cleaning is fully automatic withtwo cleaning liquids. The entire cleaning cycle takesonly a few minutes.Technical specificationsPackages perrotary table18*Package types**Can:Glass bottle:PET bottle:Filling modePressurized filling from closedpackagesCompressed gassupply6 bar (87 psi) relative pressureDimensions(L x W x H)900 mm x 750 mm x 1200 mm(35.4 x 29.5 x 47.2 inches)Interfaces1111Power supplyAC 100 to 240 V; 50/60 HzWeight75 kg (165.3 lbs)Degree ofprotectionIP 54xxxx0.25 L, 0.33 L,0.5 L0.33 L, 0.5 L0.5 L, 1 L, 1.5 L,2 L, 3 LRS-232S-BUSCANopen inCANopen out*Depending on the diameter of the package**Adapters for different package types

Additional O2 Measurementfor Longer Product Shelf LifeA high dissolved oxygen content andresulting oxidation products have anegative impact on the taste and shelflife of beverages. Continuous monitoringof the oxygen content during productionand in the final product with the option O2therefore aids the production of beverageswhich will taste good for longer. Option O2delivers highly accurate results withoutextending the analysis time.Determine carbon dioxide and oxygensimultaneouslyOption O2 is directly connected toCarboQC ME. This allows the simultaneousdetermination of the dissolved oxygen anddissolved CO2 contents.Low maintenance, high performanceThe optical oxygen sensor in option O2provides a proven and reliable way ofoxygen determination. Option O2 can alsobe easily retroffited in your CarboQC ME.Technical DataMeasuring range0 ppm O2 to 10 ppm O2Repeatability s.d.*5 ppbReproducibility s.d.*20 ppbUnits for oxygencontentppm, mg/L, ppb,% SaturationMeasuring time persampleapprox. 2 minutes.* Specifications valid for low oxygen ranges at room temperature

PBA-SI M: Perfect forSamples with Sugar InversionPBA-SI M can do just what many beverageproducers never thought possible until now:By simultaneous measurement of densityand sound velocity, PBA-SI M determines Brix fresh, Brix inverted and the degree ofinversion in sugared samples, in addition tothe current Brix content, CO2 and, optionallyO2 concentration.For the first time, beverages with invertingsugar can be analyzed with speed andprecision independently from storage timeand storage temperature.It took more than one hour so far .The sugar inversion complicates the measurementof beverage samples containing beet sugar or canesugar: During storage, the sugar in the beveragechemically transforms into a mixture of glucoseand fructose. This changes the density based onwhich the Brix value is determined. Depending ontemperature and acidity, the inversion process cantake from a few hours up to several weeks.With the common measuring method for inverting samples,the sample is chemically treated to reach full inversion,then the density is determined. The whole procedureincluding the CO2 determination takes about 75 minutes. now PBA-SI M does it in five minutes.The Anton Paar developers found a surprisingly easyanswer to the question of sugar inversion: In additionto density, the very same instrument measures thesound velocity in the sample solution. By using thesevalues and taking the CO2 content into account, theinstrument calculates not only the current Brix, butalso the Brix value of the fresh sample before thebeginning of the inversion, as well as the Brix invertedvalue of the sample after complete inversion.Get informed on the past, present and future of yourbeverage sample – highly precise and within five minutes.
