Mixed Beverage Production, inline
For the highly precise blending of drinks we offer a batch process system (BeverageWizard®) and two in-line process systems. The two in-line systems "Mixer" and "ServoBlend®" are described in this chapter. With the in-line blending, the beverage production takes place at the same time as the filling. The greater the volume of production,the more suitable an in-line process is. |

Buffer and Homogenisation | Carbonation + Syrup dosing | Water Degassing |
This module ensures that product quality remains consistent, even if frequent stops occur. This module can be omitted if a buffer tank is placed in line before the filling machine and if this buffer tank has a separate inlet and a separate outlet to achieve a final homogenisation. |
Core of the system is the dosing module. Here all product components are brought together into solution with the maximum possible accuracy. If there are deviations from the tolerance, the flow will be stopped immediately. The dosing module can be ordered as a single component mixer or with several dosing points. |
The necessary residual oxygen of 0.08 ppm (starting value 0.8 ppm in the raw water) for the soft drinks can be achieved with our combined spray and rectification column in one pass. If an even lower residual oxygen value is required, then the system will be equipped with a higher column. |
Standard Types | Capacity, max. |

The graph on the left compares a conventional mixing system [a] with the ServoBlend system [b]. Static or dynamic mixers [a] can only reduce the unsteadiness but not eliminate it. The dosage takes place pulsation free [figure b)] in the main stream (even at low dosing rates). There are no dead spaces and no pipe diameter jumps. Due to the relatively large pipe diameter, the dosing line is very easy to clean with a high flow rate.
