In-Line Blender for Beverage Production

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for In-Line Blender

Definition

An in-line blender is a component of an automated beverage blending and carbonation system. It continuously mixes multiple liquid streams—such as water, syrups, flavor concentrates, and additives—in precise proportions as they flow through the production pipeline. This ensures consistent beverage composition before carbonation and packaging stages. The blender is designed for hygienic operation, with wetted parts typically made of stainless steel 316L, food-grade elastomers, and sanitary-grade ceramics. It operates within a flow rate range of 5–50 m³/h, with larger units required for higher rates. Operating pressure is 1.0–1.6 MPa, and temperature range is -10 to 120°C, with special seals needed above 120°C. Mixing accuracy is ±0.5%, with tighter tolerances available on request. Motor power ranges from 1.5 to 7.5 kW, depending on viscosity and flow. Supply voltage is 380–480 V AC (50/60 Hz, three-phase) per IEC 60038. Ingress protection is IP54–IP65 (IEC 60529), suitable for washdown environments. Connection sizes are DN25–DN100 (DIN 11850), with tri-clamp or flange options. Weight is approximately 80–350 kg, depending on configuration. All values are reference ranges and must be verified with the legal manufacturer for specific models and applications. Standards listed are procurement references, not certifications.

Working Principle

The in-line blender achieves homogeneous blending through a combination of static mixing elements, dynamic agitation, or shear mixing within a pipeline. It generates controlled turbulence, velocity gradients, or mechanical agitation to mix liquid ingredients while maintaining continuous flow. The design ensures that all components are thoroughly combined before the mixture proceeds to subsequent stages. The specific mechanism depends on the model and application, and must be confirmed with the manufacturer.
