Beverage Monitoring System

Procan-BMS, Beverage Monitoring Systems
The Procan measures continuously and automatically the concentration of ºBrix, % Diet and carbon dioxide content directly on the soft drink production line, sampling from the process line just after the mixing process.

The Procan has proven to be able to measure all soft drinks and juices, including all types of diets and juices with particles.
No matter what type of product you start to produce, Just make your choice out of the list of products and go! .. and
Your process is protected against faulty product arriving at your filler.

Up to now no other system has matched these requirements!

The Procan On-line Beverage Monitor provides:

• An, especially for this application designed, highly sensitive and precise process refractometer (ProcanND) with patented optical technic. The only technique that enables a sensitivity and stability of better than 0,001 ºBx, required to analysis concentrations of diet.
• A fast and accurate transducer (ProcanDCD) for the analysis of dissolved CO2.
• A reliable sampling system to ensure the soft drinks passes the analysers correctly.
• A powerful data processing unit (ProcanMaster) including micro computer, data acquisition system and Windows based application software.
• Control functions as alarm triggering, feed back control to the mixer, Scada Software as machine / operator interface, Statistical (SPC)-functions, historical production filing, etc.

Brix analysis, ProcanND
World wide the sugar concentration of a soft drink is determined by using the refractive index of the solution as the measuring value. This value is than converted to ºBrix.

Performed by the ProcanND, extremely precise and free of any drift over the entire production run. No interference of dissolved CO2 in the product (as with alternative methods). The ultra sonic cleaning system avoids product coating on the measuring surface. No influences on measuring results of juices with fruit particles.

Analysis of Dissolved CO2, ProcanDCD
The ProcanDCD measures the dissloved carbon dioxide concentration of beer and soft drinks. The CO2 concentration is an important parameter and must be controlled during the production process. The measuring principle of the ProcanDCD is be based either on the PT (pressure / temperatur) principle (Henry's Law).

Computer Controlled System, ProcanMaster
The ProcanMaster is a complete package of hardware and software for processing, displaying, control and data storage of all measured values provided by the Procan system.
When product concentrations exceeds specified limits the ProcanMaster provides signals for alarm and Filler Stop, thus eliminating out-of-spec product. Signals for Feed Back Control to the mixer are available.
Information in detail of each production run is automatically saved for future retrieving regarding production problems.

 Quality and Reliability

With the Steuma instrumentation you are assured of proven quality and know how. Steuma has built up experiences in the beverage industry for over 30 years and installed systems throughout the world. The Procan-BMS is especially designed for the beverage industry with all typical requirements in mind. Continuously development has resulted in a system that does the job no matter what type of beverage must be monitored.

Improve the Quality of your Production Output

The Procan-BMS ensures that no out of spec product will reacht the filler. With the integrated SPC (Statistic Process Control) facility also the quality of the mixer's output can be improved. This enables you to save on syrup costs. Also costly laboratory analysis are reduced. Automatic feed back control to the mixer is available.

Simple Operation

 At the start up or product change only the new product type must be set, the alarms must be activated and the system is running....  The ProcanMaster calculates the measured values and controls all incoming and outgoing signals. The advanced software package of the ProcanMaster is based on LabView and designed for use together with the Procan analysers. The monitor can be fully operated at the production line but also it can be networked to a central remote PC installed f.i. in the Quality Laboratory. A number of useful options are available to customize the system to individual requirements.
