Hamilton Inline Process Sensors
Hamilton Company, one of the pioneers of optical DO measurement, has built a complete portfolio of inline measurement sensors and accessories for the brewing industry. Hamilton’s innovative ARC platform features integrated wireless transmitters, bringing the conveniences of modern wireless technology to inline sensors, including integrated Bluetooth communication. Dissolved Oxygen Monitoring dissolved oxygen (DO) is critical throughout the brewery. A low O 2 content during wort aeration can lead to stalled fermentations and the formation of off flavors. After fermentation, downstream processes must introduce as little oxygen as possible to maintain flavor, color and colloidal stability. Real time DO measurement provides the opportunity to make rapid decisions and optimize the brewing process. Hamilton’s Visiferm mA DO Arc sensors are capable of measuring a broad range of DO from 10 ppb to 25 ppm for maximum versatility, ideal for monitoring wort aeration and oxygenation. Hamilton’s Visitrace mA DO Arc sensors feature enhanced electronics, making them instrumental for monitoring low levels of DO in separation, filtration and packaging processes., and are designed for low end DO measurement, from 0-2000 ppb. pH Measurement Monitoring pH during various points of the brewing process provides the ability to make quick decisions that can impact product taste, color, viscosity, and stability. It can also provide the information required to optimize enzyme usage. Easyferm Bio HB Arc sensors feature Hamilton’s HB glass and a pressurized electrolyte, providing the best pH sensor lifespan available in brewing applications. Conductivity Conductivity sensors are used to catch product, control CIP systems and chemical dosing pumps, as well as monitor waste effluent. Conducell Arc sensors feature a 4 pole contacting sensor, stainless steel electrodes, and can measure conductivity up to 300 mS/cm.

Oxidation-Reduction Potential Oxidation-reduction potential measurement can provide insight into its influence on taste, flavor, shelf life, and other factors that affect product quality. Easyferm Plus ORP Arc sensors from Hamilton feature a platinum ring and a pressurized electrolyte and can measure potential from -1500 mV to +1500 mV.
Wireless Communication with ArcAir The ArcAir app from Hamilton interfaces wirelessly with an ARC sensor. Remotely monitor and calibrate up to 30 sensors simultaneously on either a computer or a
Bluetooth capable device. ArcAir is compatible with Windows and mobile Apple and Android devices.
