Carbonation system for beer and beer mix beverages
Achieve precise carbonation in beer and mixed beverages with a system designed for seamless integration into your production line, ensuring consistent quality and optimal CO2 levels.

Carbonates and Monitors CO2 in Beverages
The GEA DICAR-B from GEA Group is engineered for precise carbonation and monitoring of CO2 levels in beer and alcoholic beverages. Designed primarily for the brewing industry, it features a saturator and in-line CO2 meter for accurate CO2 dispersion. This system supports continuous, high-precision operations with a margin of error as low as 0.1 g/l CO2, ensuring exceptional product consistency. Integration is streamlined, as the unit is factory-tested and mounted on a compact base frame. With PLC control, the system allows for real-time monitoring and adjustment, enhancing operational efficiency. Its flexibility is further augmented by potential additions like analyzers for original gravity or alcohol content, making it versatile for producing lagers, radlers, and more.
