Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses systems and technologies for beverage preparation and cleaning, focusing on continuous mixing, carbonation, pasteurization, and cleaning processes. These systems aim to improve precision, hygiene, repeatability, cost efficiency, flexibility, and compactness in beverage production.
Process Technology: Key systems include:
  • MASSBLEND: Continuous mixing for carbonated and non-carbonated beverages with high vacuum deaeration and in-line proportional dosing.
  • CARBO-MW: Degassing and carbonating water using CO2 stripping and high vacuum tanks.
  • CARBO-SD: Carbonation for soft drinks with in-line proportional dosing.
  • XBLEND: Mixing for still beverages with multiple dosing lines and high vacuum deaeration.
  • XTHERM: Pasteurization with constant flow rates and sanitary centrifugal pumps.
  • VARICLEAN: CIP unit for washing, available in fully or semi-automatic configurations.
Key Features:
  • Gentle product handling for high quality and repeatability.
  • Optimization of starting phase and automatic product change to minimize loss.
  • Adjustable outflow quantity to the filler.
  • High hygienic design for easy cleaning and sanitation.
  • Automatic quick changeover for product flavor change.
Performance and Specifications:
  • Carbonation range: 1.5 to 4.5 V/V with ±0.05 V/V accuracy.
  • Mixing accuracy: ±0.03 °Bx.
  • Residual oxygen: <1 ppm.
  • Process capability index (Cpk): >1.33.
Applications: Suitable for carbonated soft drinks, mineral water, juices, isotonic and functional beverages, and other non-carbonated products.
Additional Equipment: Options include cooling systems, oxygen and CO2 measurement, energy-saving features, and CIP unit integration.
Conclusion: The systems offer flexibility and efficiency, ensuring high-quality production with reduced costs and enhanced sanitation.
Temperature Control and Stabilization: Precise temperature control using a hot water circuit enhances accuracy and avoids exchanger fouling. Cooling is achieved in two steps: energy recovery and cold water control.
Hot Filling Process: Product cooling in two stages using tower and cold water to reach recycling temperature, with potential scrap recovery.
Degassing: Water atomization and high vacuum deaeration remove residual oxygen, monitored by a flow meter.
Blending Process: Uses water as a reference for syrup dosing, with a flow meter measuring Brix value to control mixing ratio. Syrup dosing is managed with a frequency-controlled pump and modulating control valve.
Operational Features:
  • Menu-based operation with a 15-inch touchscreen.
  • Fully automatic process minimizing manual operations.
  • Reduced operator intervention with coordinated components.
  • Automatic parameter adjustments based on recipes.
  • Continuous monitoring and recording via touch panel.
  • Parameters can be saved on a USB stick for documentation.
  • Integration into higher-level process control systems.
  • Large recipe memory for reliable production.
  • Product-dependent parameters can be set and saved on the touchscreen.

Variclean is a compact unit (on skid assembly) used to wash all the process units involved in the foodstuff preparation. The module is available as either fully automatic or semi-automatic, from the heating stage to the measuring of cleaning fluids and disinfectants, and from the cleaning cycle to the rinsing for the removal of reagents. At start-up, the cleaning cycle is freely selectable; the operator may select and create washing cycles with partial phases, the same way the operator can change the washing time, concentration, flow, pressure, etc... Using the HMI installed on the electrical...

PROCESS TECHNOLOGY-8

Degassing The inlet water is finely atomized by using a specific diffuser, the residual oxygen is removed from water by using the deaeration with high vacuum principle. A flow meter indicates the water that is sent to the mixing system by using a sanitary centrifugal pump. The amount of water serves as a reference variable for the dosing of syrup. The flow meter measures the Brix value of the sugar syrup and uses the data to control the mixing ratio. The syrup is dosed using a frequency-controlled pump, a modulating control valve and a pressure measuring device. Utilising the constant pressure...
