Multiparameter Measurement System:
Packaged RTD Measurement Systems
Measure ready-to-drink (RTD) products such as whiskey-cola, gin and tonic, and other mixed beverages with outstanding precision and speed using the Packaged RTD Measurement Systems. Combining density, sound velocity, and NIR spectroscopy, these all-in-one solutions deliver highly accurate results for even complex, carbonated samples.
The Packaged RTD Measurement Systems perform analyses from the final package – no distillation required – using inversion-corrected density measurement to deliver a fresh density accuracy of 0.0003 g/cm³. Eight sample-specific parameters are calculated automatically, with four integrated chemometric models covering RTDs sweetened with artificial sweeteners, sucrose, or high-fructose corn syrup (42 or 55).
Key features
All relevant parameters in a single measurement
The Packaged RTD Measurement Systems help you monitor the critical balance of CO2, alcohol, sugar, and sweeteners throughout the production process with minimal effort. Features such as U-View, U-Dry, U-Pulse, and FillingCheck are designed to maximize usability and reliability, ensuring seamless operation and dependable results. After preparing and filling your sample, the system simultaneously performs NIR spectroscopy, density, and sound velocity measurements, delivering comprehensive insights from just one package or sample.
Pinpoint accuracy, full compliance
The Packaged RTD Measurement Systems determine alcohol content in all types of soft drinks and alcoholic RTDs, providing the data you need to confirm product specifications and ensure compliance with legal requirements. Anton Paar’s digital density meters are based on the oscillating U-tube principle, which has been approved by tax offices and customs laboratories.
Secure data storage with AP Connect
The AP Connect lab execution software is designed to effortlessly manage your data storage needs. Every data point is captured and securely stored for easy access, with integrated tools that streamline analysis and retrieval. The intuitive interface simplifies tracking batch-to-batch variations, providing insights into production trends and supporting consistent product quality.
Complete quality insight for alcoholic RTDs
Our systems combine NIR, density, and sound velocity technology to deliver a comprehensive analysis of alcoholic RTD beverages. Beyond measuring alcohol and sugar content, they also correct for sugar inversion, enabling accurate comparisons between production data and the final product after filling and storage. This ensures unmatched transparency and reliability across different production plants and throughout the entire product lifecycle.
