METTLER TOLEDO Process Analytics has launched announced its portable oxygen analyser, InTap, for brewery and soft drink applications.

InTap samples and measures dissolved and gas oxygen values at-line for control of beer and soft drink production.

The analyser can also be used for calibrating in-line dissolved oxygen sensors, using Bluetooth communication. This calibrated data can be sent directly to in-line sensors, preventing the possibility of manual copying errors.

Antonio Tarancon, Product Manager, METTLER TOLEDO, said, “Flexibility and ease-of-use were at the forefront when designing InTap. It can be widely used in beer and soft drink production from the smallest to the largest facilities.”

The new device has sensors for internal optical dissolved oxygen for rapid, accurate measurement with a touchscreen operation for easier use. The touchscreen operation can be optimised into large, high resolution display to be seen from a distance. The IP67 enclosure resists wet environments. It comes with a capability to stores data for up to 99 measurement points.

The accuracy of the InTap is comparable to standard in-line sensor/ transmitter combinations, allowing it to be used as a temporary replacement of an in-line sensor during maintenance. As a portable system, the InTap can support the transition from off-line dissolved oxygen measurement to in-line measurement for smaller breweries.
