Below are sample applications which currently
utilize VitalSensors infrared instruments.
If you do not see your application please call
VitalSensors directly for a discussion, send us an
Application Questionnaire or send us a
sample for testing. Our technology is flexible and we
will quickly determine if we can measure your concentration levels.
Beer, Wine, Alcopop
& Ethanol Production
(VS-3000BM,
VS-3000BEM )
CO2 Measurement:
Inline carbonation monitoring for beer, wine
coolers, alcopops or mixed/malt beverages.
Real Extract / Brix
Measurement:
Real-time measurement of final residual
sugars (RE) in pipes, tanks or fillers. Measure fermentation
progress in-situ. Measure cook-cycle brix content during
Ethanol production
Alcohol Measurement:
Real-time measurement without the use
of a density meter in pipes, tanks or fillers. Measure
fermentation progress in-situ. Low alcohol and
near-beer applications where density measurement is
inaccurate.
Fermentation:
Measure conversion of sugars to
ethanol real-time in fermenters.
Soft
Drink, Juice and Water Production
(VS-3000BSM,
VS-3000BSMJ,
VS-1000)
Brix / Sugar Measurement:
Inline sugar measurement, syrup concentration measurement, blending
and dosing control, product/water interface detection.
Measure flavored sparkling waters with low Brix levels.
Acid (TA) / Inline Diet:
Real-time Total Acid measurement for juice production or real-time
DIET measurement in soft drinks. This capability is
not offered by any other instrument manufacturer.
CO2 Measurement:
Real-time carbonation monitoring.
Brix / Acid Ratio:
Real-time Brix / Acid ratio for juice production.
Flavor Essence:
Real-time sparkling water flavor measurement via Brix or Acid
readings.
