ProMinent has launched a new single-channel controller aimed at simplifying water quality management for beverage producers and other industrial users, as manufacturers seek more reliable and easier-to-run systems under tightening quality and efficiency requirements.
The Dulcometer diaLog C is positioned as an entry-level controller that can be deployed across a wide range of water treatment applications, including beverage production, wastewater treatment and industrial processing.
The German dosing and water treatment specialist says the device is designed to reduce operational complexity while maintaining precise dosing and process control.
Water quality remains a critical control point for food and beverage manufacturers, where even small deviations can disrupt production, compromise product safety or trigger compliance issues. At the same time, plants are under pressure to operate with fewer specialist staff and greater automation.
ProMinent said the new controller supports all of its sensor types and can function either as a transmitter or a two-way controller, allowing it to manage dosing tasks and control two pumps simultaneously.
This enables more targeted chemical dosing and improved resource efficiency, particularly in continuous production environments.
The controller features a graphical display and simplified menu navigation intended to reduce training requirements and lower the risk of operator error, an ongoing concern for multi-shift manufacturing sites.
“With the Dulcometer diaLog C, we are focusing on a solution that makes everyday operations noticeably easier,” said Andreas Zühlcke, vice president of product management and marketing at ProMinent. “Our aim is to make water treatment as simple and safe as possible, regardless of industry or application.”
The launch strengthens ProMinent’s broader push into integrated water analysis and control systems.
From March 2026, the controller can be paired with the company’s new Dulcoeye LT optical sensor for low turbidity measurement, allowing even small changes in water quality to be detected and automatically corrected through adjusted dosing.
Such real-time monitoring and control is increasingly important for beverage manufacturers facing stricter hygiene standards, sustainability targets and rising costs for water, energy and treatment chemicals.
ProMinent said the controller is aimed at plant operators, engineering firms and municipal and industrial users, with applications spanning beverages, chemicals, semiconductors, hospitality and wastewater treatment.
