Description

New optical sensor for aerated wort analysis in beer production

The new InPro6960i sensors for brewery applications provide a high level of availability, ease of maintenance, and effective dissolved oxygen measurement in wort aeration brewing processes. Optical oxygen sensors are simple and easy to use, improving process reliability and reducing total cost of ownership. A simple air calibration procedure and high long-term stability keep maintenance requirements to a minimum.

Main Features and Benefits

Ease of Use
• Plug and Measure enabled InPro6960i® sensors with minimal OptoCap sensor change time set a new standard for ease of use when performing dissolved oxygen measurements in the brewery.
High Safety
• Use of FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved materials and mirror polished sensor surfaces (grade N5) for easy cleaning ensure compliance with increasingly stringent regulatory requirements.
A new approach to maintenance with ISM technology
• ISM (Intelligent Sensor Management) technology provides the user with important information about sensor wear and enables pre-planned maintenance.
Reliable control
• Highest measurement accuracy in bottling lines.
