ILC-2500 : Compact automatic in-line carbonator 2500L/hr

Perfect solution of the fully automatic inline (flow-through) beverage carbonator in one compact system. Flow capacity up to 2500 liters per hour. Machine designed to saturation of a drink with carbon dioxide before its filling into sales containers.

The machine is suitable for use with all alcoholic beverages. It is possible to use the carbonator also for all non-alcoholic beverages but only after their deaeration. For this purpose we recommend to use a special version – the compact machine which consists of a deaerator and a carbonator.

Carbon dioxide analyzer

The compact automatic in-line carbonator is equipped with a very quality carbon dioxide flow-through analyzer.

MT InPro 5500 carbon dioxide flow-through meter has been developed for in-line CO2 measurements in brewery and carbonated soft drink and water processes. The sensor utilizes the well-proven thermal conductivity method to determine CO2 in liquids. The METTLER TOLEDO has combined this technology with the simplified handling and predictive diagnostics features of the unique Intelligent Sensor Management (ISM) concept.ISM‘s pre-calibration and Plug and Measure functions ensure fast, error-free measurement point start up.The Dynamic Lifetime Indicator and the Adaptive Calibration Timer enable predictive maintenance planning to keep the sensor at peak performance at all times.
The InPro 5500 i will help breweries and carbonated soft drink producers maintain product quality and control CO2 costs by providing accurate in-line measurements in carbon dioxide critical processes.
