Foam stability is an important beer quality parameter. Measuring foam stability, however, has been so far either laborious or inaccurate – or both. The demand for an accurate and user-location independent stability measurement device led to the development of the automatic Steinfurth Foam Stability Tester (SFT).

Operation:

The container (bottle or can) with the beer to be measured is connected to the Steinfurth Foam Stability
Tester, using a sampling device (for example the Steinfurth Sampler).
The beer is moved into the SFT by CO2 pressure. The pressure is such that the beer doesn’t degasify inside the container.
The beer is ejected into the glass cylinder through a special constructed nozzle, converting it into foam.
Foam stability is calculated from the timing of the passing of the beer / foam boundary along some optical sensors.
Before every measuring, the cylinder is rinsed automatically. It is possible to start an automatic series of several consecutive and independent measuring from the same beer package.

Steinfurth Auto Sampler AS380C

Routine sampling from beverage containers for analytical purposes may result in considerable strain for additional laboratory work. While sampling consists of a few simple movements, these have to be attentively performed and often every few minutes interrupt other tasks that require full concentration. Especially if great numbers of samples must be taken and the main analytical work is already semi-automated, manual operation of a samplingdevice poses an additional work time (= costs). The Steinfurth Auto-Sampler AS 380C offers high efficient integration of measuring devices requiring beverage sampling with automatic multiple sampling from up to 12 containers.
