Dissolve · Blend · Carbonate / Soft drinks
Prepares carbonated soft drinks for filling. Sugar is dissolved into syrup, blended with the remaining ingredients, then chilled and carbonated. A chiller, steam boiler and automatic CIP support the line.
Process route
Chilled water from the chiller and steam from the boiler serve the process equipment; the CIP system cleans every part that touches the product.
Equipment
6 units, from syrup preparation to utilities and cleaning, in process order.
01Syrup preparation
Dissolves white sugar completely in purified water under heating, stirring and high shear. The result is a syrup of stable concentration to the Brix standard, with no undissolved sugar and no lumps, ready for the blending tanks that prepare the carbonated-beverage syrup.
02Syrup preparation
Receive the sugar syrup from the dissolving tank and add all remaining ingredients, producing a final syrup with consistent flavour and Brix. The finished syrup is sent on to the carbonation mixer.
03Carbonation
Mixes and carbonates all kinds of carbonated beverages, such as cola and lemonade. Mixing precision is high and the CO₂ is fully dissolved, with two cooling stages and two carbonation stages. Besides carbonated soft drinks, it can also mix pulpy drinks, fermented drinks and other soft drinks.
04Utilities
Supplies low-temperature chilled water to the whole carbonated-drink line. As the cooling core of the carbonation process, it lowers the liquid temperature so that CO₂ dissolves efficiently.
05Utilities
The heat source for the entire line. It produces saturated steam at stable pressure and dryness to heat all jacketed equipment and the CIP system.
06Cleaning
Cleans in place, with no need to dismantle tanks, pipelines or filling valves. At the press of a button, the PLC runs the complete online cleaning and disinfection programme for all equipment that comes into contact with beverage ingredients.
