The Carbonator is used for continuous injection of carbon dioxide into liquid food and beverages such as beer, sparkling wine and soft drinks.

A precisely defined and constant CO₂ content is an essential quality feature of many products. For CO₂ supply the Carbonator has a specifically designed Vortex-Venturi injector that feeds carbon dioxide in a very large number of very fine bubbles directly into the product stream.

Due to high pressure and turbulent flow, the carbon dioxide dissolves completely and absolutely homogeneously in a very short time. At the end of the dissolving path a control valve is installed. This valve keeps the pressure in the system constant and above the saturation pressure. The flows and the CO₂ content are permanently monitored and automatically adjusted in the process.

Therefore, the system is equipped with high precision flow meters and a CARBOTEC sensor made by Centec. The desired concentration of carbon dioxide is precisely met in the carbonated product.
