UC09 - Inline Infrared Carbometric Unit for Beverages

The UC09 is a fully inline infrared carbometric analyzer that measures CO2 content directly on the process line, without bypass loops or sampling pumps. Built on ATR infrared optical technology with no moving parts, it delivers stable, drift-free readings in just 3 seconds, cutting maintenance needs and eliminating routine laboratory recalibration. Its single Varivent connection simplifies installation while automatic temperature compensation ensures accurate results across standard and high-temperature (HT) sterilization conditions.
