Carbonator/Filler/Capper

Carbonator/Filler/Capper FT102XA

The FT102XA is the latest in high accuracy carbonation and filling technology. You can carbonate a premixed product or water and syrup in a post mix configuration.

This FT102XA has many new updates including:

• Reduced minimum batch volumes
• Ability to carbonate highly foaming products
• Internally mounted chiller to reduce space requirement in your laboratory

Other updates include the ability to have a twin filling and capping station on the same unit, measuring the Dissolved Oxygen and CO₂ directly.
