Nitrogenator - Nitrogenation

The nitrogenator is designed for the continuous nitrogenation of beverages. Nitrogen ( N₂ ) is introduced directly into the product stream in a highly detailed, extremely small bubble via a specially designed vortex-Venturi injector . Due to the high pressure and turbulent flow , the N₂ dissolves completely and absolutely homogeneously in a very short time.


Application

Nitrogenated beers have very small bubbles and a very stable head . The nitrogenator is designed for the continuous supply of nitrogen to:

  • Beer
  • Beer-based mixed drinks

The desired N₂ content is exactly achieved in the finished product.


Operating principle

  • Vortex-Venturi injector : Injection of N₂ as very fine bubbles directly into the product stream.
  • Solution section with control valve : At the end of the solution section, a control valve keeps the pressure in the system constant and above the saturation pressure.
  • Process control via flow measurement : Highly accurate flow meters detect the flows; based on this, product flow and nitrogen flow are adjusted immediately and fully automatically.
  • Optional: in-line monitoring of the N₂ content via a nitrogen sensor – as a supplement to the ratio control
