In-Line Temperature Control Unit for Beverage Production

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for In-Line Temperature Control Unit

Definition

This in-line temperature control unit is an integral part of the Integrated Beverage Mixing and Homogenization System. It continuously monitors and adjusts the temperature of beverage mixtures during processing, ensuring optimal conditions for mixing, homogenization, and subsequent stages. By maintaining precise temperature control, it supports product consistency, quality, and safety throughout the production line. The unit is designed for beverage manufacturing environments and features wetted parts made of Stainless Steel 316L, which offers corrosion resistance and food-grade compatibility. Key parameters include a flow capacity of 2–20 m³/h, a temperature control range of 5–95 °C, and a temperature accuracy of ±0.5 °C. The response time is ≤5 seconds, minimizing temperature overshoot. Operating pressure ranges from 1.0 to 1.6 MPa, and the maximum process temperature is 120 °C. The ambient temperature range is 0–50 °C, and ingress protection is rated IP54–IP65 (IEC 60529). Supply voltage is 24 V DC ±10%, with power consumption between 50 and 200 W. The control signal is a standard 4–20 mA analog interface for PLC integration. Connection sizes range from DN25 to DN100 (ISO 7005), and the unit weighs between 15 and 60 kg. These values are directory reference ranges and must be verified for the specific model and application with the legal manufacturer or supplier. The unit operates using temperature sensors that monitor the liquid stream in real-time. A control system processes the data and activates heating or cooling elements, such as electric heaters or heat exchangers, to adjust the temperature. Feedback loops ensure precise control within set parameters as the beverage flows through the system. For selection, consider flow capacity, required temperature range, accuracy, and connection size. Verify all specifications and standards with the manufacturer before procurement.

Working Principle

The unit uses temperature sensors to monitor the liquid stream in real-time. A control system processes this data and activates heating or cooling elements (such as electric heaters or heat exchangers) to adjust the temperature. Feedback loops maintain precise temperature control within set parameters as the beverage flows through the system.
