DICAR-B™ Carbonation System

The GEA carbonating system type DICAR-B™ has been designed for continuous high-accuracy carbonation of beer and beer mix. It is mainly applied in the brewing industry.

Carbonation system for beer and beer mix

The system mainly consists of the following components:

Saturator and saturating pipe section
In-line CO₂-meter
CO₂-monitoring valve
Operating unit

The CO₂ content required for the beverage is set on the operator's control and display unit. Via the saturator CO₂ is added to the product and dispersed to permit a physical absorption in the following saturating pipe section. The actual CO₂ content is checked by the CO₂ meter at the end of the saturating pipe section. The controller causes a permanent setpoint-to-actual value comparison and a respective adjustment of the control valve for CO₂.

For monitoring the product, the carbonating system can be completed by some analyzers (e.g. for original gravity or alcohol content).
