Preparing Carbonated Beverages in the Labora
The Armfield FT102LT Miniature-scale Carbonator-Filler provides theFT102LT-2 Capper Enabling Systemability to establish precise and repeatable parameters when carbonating
in the laboratory, this can dramatically improve the speed with which new products are developed.
Both premix and postmix operations are available from the standard machine. Options enable for deaeration of the product and evacuation of the bottles, and filling and capping (screw and/or crown) at a single
station without removing the bottle.
The FT102LT Carbonator-Filler is easy to install, set up and use.
Colour touch screen control is used with a new graphical interface,enabling different carbonating and filling scenarios to be set and stored.
The semi-automated cleaning programme takes the user step by step through the cleaning process and enables the unit to be made ready for another product or formulation.
The FT102LT is ideally suited as a general purpose filling and carbonation installation for small laboratory applications. Used in conjunction with one of Armfield’s FT74XTS UHT/HTST units, a complete
drinks line can be created in the laboratory; consisting of heat treatment,carbonation, filling and capping.
