Description

Forcing Test Refrigerated/Heating Circulating Bath for simulating the beer aging process to determine the best before date. The 1-CUBE Forcing Test Refrigerated/Heating Circulating Bath is employed in conjunction with a Hazemeter (Turbidity Meter) to determine the “potential to last” for bottled beer.The beer is aged in a programmed temperature cycle treatment, which is repeated until assitional clouding is observed. These units are versatile and offer a wide range of uses. They can be used as either Refrigerated/Heating Circulating Baths or as two separated fluid thermostats. They are equipped with state of the art electronics providing quality and reliability. The automatic constant level of water height in the temperature-controlled vessel during testing enables accurate results. Laboratory staff appreciate the ease in which levels are constantly maintained. The bath prevents overfill and excess handling by the staff. Temperature chilling (in combination with the measurement of beer haze with the help of the haze-meters) is used for the determination of colloidal beer stability and for the fast prediction of overall product stability. The methods used for chilling tests can differ by both temperature (heating, cooling), the time of duration and the number of samples to test – see methods (analytics MEBAK, EBC, doc. Ing. J.Šavel CSc. and prof. Basařová, etc…).

Technical description: 1) Forcing testers SU6.2, SU12.2 -two separate fluid baths (cold and hot) with capacity 6+6 or 12+12 bottles. The equipment can be used for forcing test or as 2 fluid temperature control systems. Temperature range is from -100C to +90 0C. The equipment is made completely of stainless steel and the bath is temperature insulated. The Ttster is equipped with microcomputer, resistance thermometer Pt 100, two-line display LCD, membrane keyboard, software and serial interface RS232 transfering the temperature curves into PC. It is equipped with function – automatic cutout when the level is too low. 2) .
