WATER AND SYRUP MIXER AND CARBONATOR
It provides the preparation and gassing of carbonated beverages such as cola, soda and flavored mineral water.
First, the air in the water is removed in the water tank of the unit, under vacuum, with double deaeration.
The de-aired water and syrup, in-house dark syrup are mixed continuously and precisely, proportionally, by means of flow control valves. This mixture is cooled by passing through the plate heat exchanger and gas is absorbed into the mixture by means of a special gassing nozzle. The final product obtained is taken into the product tank, which is resistant to 8 bar pressure and vacuum.
Advantages:
- Latest technology in the mixing process
- High quality product and stable brix
- Gassing temperature up to 18°C
- Adjustable mixing ratio from 1/3 to 1/7
- Economical initial investment and energy savings of up to 50% with a smaller cooling compressor
- Less syrup and product loss
- Low CO2 consumption
- Sterile air / nitrogen gas collector that allows the preparation of non-carbonated drinks
- Parameter control from the panels possible during production
- Very quick adjustment opportunity during product changes
- European origin PLC, pumps, flowmeters, proportional valves, pneumatic valves
DESIGN AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE
- Removal of the dissolved air inside the water: (deaeration)
The unit operates in two stages, removing the air in the water under vacuum and adding CO2 gas as a carrier instead. The water inlet is adjusted according to the level signal coming from the first deaeration stage. At the bottom of the deaeration section, there is a syrup section separated by a robust stainless steel separator.
- Water and syrup mixing system:
It works according to the levels in the product tank. Continuous and extremely precise proportional mixing is achieved by mixing syrup and de-aired water through flow control valves.
In-line gassing system of the mixed product:
The mixing is maintained by a continuous and precise gas absorption during flow, with a central carbonating nozzle integrated with a CIP by-pass.
- Gas inlet valve collector:
It offers gas inlet, valve collector, sterile air / nitrogen gas connection option that allow the preparation of non-carbonated beverages. This part is used for the sterilized gas supply to the deaerator, gassing unit and product tank.
It is produced to withstand pressure and vacuum up to 8 bar depending on the CO2 content and temperature of the product. Equipped with a safety valve and CIP spray ball. It can be mounted on a common chassis..
