Tetra Alblend® carboblender Accurate, high-efficiency in-line blending and carbonation Working principle Tetra Alblend is optimized for accurate, efficient in-line blending and carbonation of soft drinks with low operational and raw material costs. It is fully automated to ensure uniform product quality and uncompromising food safety. Tetra Alblend also gives you the flexibility to achieve high throughput and quick product changeovers. The unit is easily and efficiently expanded for carbonated soft drink line solutions. Deaeration with Tetra Alrox® W cuts water and energy consumption for low operational costs. The system works under low vacuum to reduce oxygen levels down to 0.5 ppm. Water is fed from the top of a tall column filled with packaging material. An eco vacuum pump reuses seal water to cut water consumption. Highlights • Cost-efficient continuous production of final carbonated soft drink • Efficient deaeration cuts water and energy consumption for lower operational costs • Cuts product losses and raw material costs with Brix accuracy, exact dosing and product recovery features • Guaranteed performance on parameters that matter After deaeration, water and liquid ingredients are blended under pressure, enabling each individual valve to constantly operate at maximum control accuracy. Automatic mass compensation (AMC) technology, using sophisticated software, ensures uniform high product quality, regardless of variations in incoming ingredients. Instruments continuously regulate the flow of ingredients with high precision. This keeps the process right on target and ensures that the outgoing blend is constant. The final blend is injected with CO2 directly in the product line. Specially designed nozzles create micro-bubbles ensuring total dissolution of CO2 in the product. A mass flow meter in the gas line controls CO2 injection by ratio. An optional quality control analyser continuously measures CO2 content after the injection point and enables adjustment of the CO2 level. A pressurized holding tank acts as a buffer and equalizes capacity variations from the

A number of recovery features cut your product losses to an absolute minimum for significant savings: • Concentrate recovery – recovers concentrate/pre-mix from pre-mix tanks at end of production Main components Basic unit • Based on vacuum technology over packed bed, can deaerate down to 0.5 ppm, at 15-25°C Carbonation unit: • Relay communication • Uninterrupted power supply, buffer block 24V DC An intuitive, operator-friendly HMI, now with larger panel, gives a detailed overview of the process and enables easy selection, commissioning and troubleshooting. • Consists of carbonation device, gas...
