Turbidity is in the eye of the beer holder

Turbidity affects the shelf life of beers and hence serves as acceptance criteria for consumers; it is caused by small particles in the beer such as proteins, yeasts and kieselguhr which scatter light
Haffmans's VOS Rota 90/25 turbidity meter is now available directly through its offices in the UK.
As part of Dutch based Norit Process Technology, Haffmans claims an unrivalled reputation for quality and innovation, especially within the brewing industry.
Turbidity affects the shelf life of beers and hence serves as acceptance criteria for consumers.
This turbidity is caused by small particles in the beer such as proteins, yeasts and kieselguhr which scatter light.
The instrument projects light into the prepared sample at 90 and 25deg angles, and uses a proven light scattering technique to calculate the level of the turbidity.
The turbidity meter is the workhorse in today's brewery QC laboratories.
In line with the Mebak recommendations, the VOS Rota can store up to 999 measurements and ten calibration curves to avoid the influence of different bottles.
The robust housing provides protection for the measuring chamber and shows measurement progress and results on the large screen.
Results can be given in standard measurement units including EBC, FTU, ASBC and Helm.
Using the RS232 connector cable, test data can either be downloaded to a PC running the supplied software, or printed off.
The decision to integrate the Norit Proces Technologie companies within the UK under one roof is part of the group's corporate strengthening programme.
This important strategic decision is aimed at maximising their brand image and product synergy for the benefit of their customers in the brewing, beverage, food, chemical, pharmaceutical and utilities sectors.
Haffmans will operate under the umbrella of leading hygienic valve and control specialist Sudmo (UK) , itself a Norit Proces Technologie company and already established in the UK for almost 20 years.
The UK office will provide comprehensive sales, spares and service support for the full Haffmans range, consisting of quality control equipment for both in-line and laboratory, units for carbonating, blending and water de-aeration and CO2-recovery technology from different fermentation sources.
