Lord of the Corks: A New Era in Sparkling Wine Analysis

In combination with a suitable measuring system, for example the CarboQC or CboxQC, the determination of dissolved carbon dioxide and dissolved oxygen and the amount of other gases in the sample can be performed quickly and reliably.Strike a New Path

The SFD Filling Device, when used with high-precision measuring instruments such as CarboQC or CboxQC by Anton Paar, allows for the quick and reliable determination of dissolved COâ‚‚, dissolved oxygen, and other gases in sparkling wine and wine. Additionally, it calculates the package pressure based on total dissolved gases, providing a comprehensive analysis of the sample.

Simple and Straightforward

Designed for ease of use, the SFD Filling Device pierces the cork of a sparkling wine bottle using a manually operated threaded tube. Once the cork is fully penetrated, the sample tube is lowered into the bottle, and the sample is transferred via pressurized air or nitrogen—without exposing the liquid to the atmosphere.

A tight seal between the piercing head and the bottle’s cork ensures that no COâ‚‚ escapes during the process, preserving the sample’s integrity for precise measurement. The device can accommodate various bottle sizes, from small formats to magnums, by inserting the correct number of centering plates. It is also compatible with both plastic and traditional corks.

One Filling Device Fits All

The SFD Filling Device is not just for sparkling wine—it can also be used for still wine sampling. When analyzing wine without carbonation, simply remove the cork and adjust the pressure for an equally effective sample transfer.

Safety for the Operator

Designed with safety in mind, the SFD Filling Device features a protective housing to safeguard the operator during use. The device operates at pressures up to 7.5 bar (109 psi), but pressure is only applied once the bottle is securely locked in place, ensuring safe and controlled operation.

A New Standard for Sparkling Wine Analysis

With its innovative design, precise sampling method, and COâ‚‚-preserving technology, the SFD Filling Device is setting a new standard in sparkling wine and wine analysis. It offers a simple, accurate, and reliable way to ensure quality control while maintaining the integrity of every sample.
