3 QUALITY CONTROL MEASUREMENT OF PACKAGES A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 3

4 IN PACKAGING, WE MEASURE OXYGEN OXYGEN A faulty filling process O 2 pickup O 2 negatively affects beer quality (Shelf life) Final product inspection A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 4

5 AND IN PACKAGING, WE MEASURE CARBON DIOXIDE CARBON DIOXIDE Properly adjust filling process CO 2 freshness + enhances the flavor Final product inspection A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 5

6 OPTIMUM GAS CONTENT FOR A NEW BEVERAGE? A bad taste Consumer will effectively testing ruin this party Professional taste panels A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 6

7 CO 2 + O 2 MEASUREMENT, TYPICAL APPLICATIONS A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 7

8 TRADITIONAL CO 2 & O 2 MEASUREMENT METHODS A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 8

9 CO 2 MEASUREMENT METHOD ±90 % Brewers use: Henry's Law "The volume of gas dissolved in a liquid is proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 9

10 CO 2 MEASUREMENT METHODS & EFFECT FOREIGN GASSES CO 2 Measurement based on HENRY s and DALTON s LAW CO 2 O 2, N 2, H 2 Henry: CO 2 = P * f (t) BEER Dalton: P = [P CO 2 + P O 2 + P H 2 + P N 2 ] A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 10

11 CO 2 MEASUREMENT ERROR SOURCES MANOMETRIC CO 2 MEASUREMENTS Foreign gasses in the beverage Changes in the atmospheric pressure (Note: Solved in most of the digital CO 2 meters by using a absolute pressure measurement) Composition of the beverage A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 11

12 OXYGEN MEASUREMENT METHODS: Manual Calculation Semi-automatic Competitor C: DO x Z Competitor B: HSO or DO O 2 (mg/l) 10 1 Zahm & Nagel Determination of total air Submerged funnel method Solubility tables for CO 2, O 2, N 2 TPO = DO x Z Uhlig Competitor A Haffmans c-dgm Optical O 2 TPO = DO x Z 0,1 0, FUTURE A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 12

13 OXYGEN MEASUREMENT METHODS: TPO based on Z-method according to Uhlig, Analytica-EBC Method Cans are measured using the DO x Z method. Sample preparation according to EBC method: - Temperate package on 20 ⁰C - Shake package to equilibrium for 5 minutes - Rest the shaken package for 5 minutes DO x Z Headspace Liquid Oxidation Differentiated TPO method, Analytica-EBC Glass bottles are measured using the differentiated TPO method (HSO + DO) No sample preparation required No different Z-Factors for DO calculations HSO DO Headspace Liquid Oxidation A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 13

14 NEW CO 2 MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY FOR PACKAGES A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 14

15 FROM BASIC TECHNOLOGY TOWARDS NEW TECHNOLOGY Invasive Non-invasive Selective Invasive Selective Only Non-invasive? PRESENT FUTURE A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 15

16 1. CO 2 MEASUREMENT OF PACKAGES, NON-INVASIVE NON-INVASIVE CO 2 is the next step in selective CO 2 Measurement of Packaged beer (bottles only) CO 2 Package remains unopened. Equilibrium pressure, Total pressure and Temperature are measured without contacting the bottle. Product A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 16

17 PRINCIPLE OF NON-INVASIVE CO 2 MEASUREMENT CO 2 MEASURING PRINCIPLE based on laser technology The CO 2 Selector is using a laser that beams trough the headspace of a bottle. CO 2 Product The CO 2 molecules in the headspace absorb the infrared light send through the bottle. The result of the measurement is based on the width of the absorption lines (related to the total pressure) and its intensity (related to the concentration of the CO 2 ). A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 17

18 2. CO 2 MEASUREMENT SELECTIVE INVASIVE, IR-Method Head space gas analysis The gas flows through a small chamber with an IR LED, IR Optical Band Filters and IR Receiver One filter for IR light that will be absorbed by CO 2 Molecules One filter for IR light that will not be absorbed by CO 2 Molecules, reference filter Measuring the CO 2 fraction of the head space gas in % from 0 to 100% CO 2 fraction is needed to calculate correct CO 2 values, when using other (foreign) gasses then CO 2 in the process. GAS IN GAS OUT IR BAND FILTER IR LED IR RECEIVER A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 18

19 HOW DO ALL THESE CO 2 METHODS HELP US? New CO 2 technology methods have different advantages Reduction of sample preparation Faster results Simple handling There is a choice for every product/application Challenges Comparability of CO 2 measurement/methods Calibration of special detectors (IR and others) against master Need for standardization A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 20

20 HAFFMANS CO 2 -SELECTOR, New Concept in Quality Control Equipment, Laboratory

21 EQUIPMENT WITH NON-INVASIVE CO 2 TECHNOLOGY HAFFMANS CO 2 -SELECTOR A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 22

22 APPLICATION IN CARBONATED DRINKS Keg Filling Bottles Glass/PET Filling Buffer tank Beverage A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 23

23 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION CO 2 - SELECTOR PRODUCT POSITIONING Non-invasive CO 2 measurement in filled glass and PET bottles. No piercing is required no product is lost. MARKETS: Carbonated beverage manufactures Brewing, Soft drink industry Water industry Wineries A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 24

24 WHY CO2 SELECTOR? Non-invasive inspection using laser technology No contact with the measured medium Less packages required for analysis, including determination of effects of aging on CO 2 content during shelf life Selective & non-selective CO 2 measurement, temperature compensated One instrument for a wide range of carbonated beverages up to 13 g/l Market specific CO 2 formulas available One instrument for all carbonated beverages Fast (1 minute), repeatable measurement Savings on time and labor No moving parts No requirements for spare parts & consumables A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 25

25 HAFFMANS AUTOMATOR New Concept in Quality Control Equipment

26 AUTOMATION OF MEASUREMENT, THE AUTOMATOR! NEW PLATFORM FOR MEASURING THE PACKAGED PRODUCT Fully Automated, release the operator to be able to manage the filling operation or other tasks No sample preparation required at bottles, directly from the filling line (no shaking, no tempering of the packaged product) INCREASES INSIGHT Multiple parameter analysis per package Total Package Oxygen content Headspace Oxygen content Dissolved Oxygen content Dissolved CO 2 content A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 27

27 APPLICATION IN THE BREWERY Keg Filling Blending Bottle/Can Filling Bright Beer Tank Beer filter Storage/Fermentation tank A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 28
