Proportioning and Mixing System for Carbonated Soft Drinks

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Proportioning and Mixing System

Definition

The Proportioning and Mixing System is a component used in beverage manufacturing, specifically for carbonated soft drink production. It accurately proportions syrups, water, and carbon dioxide according to specific recipes, ensuring consistent flavor, sweetness, and carbonation levels across production batches. The system is designed for integration into production lines with a mixing capacity typically ranging from 5000 to 20000 L/h, and it achieves a mixing accuracy of ±0.5%. Operating pressure is typically 1.0–1.6 MPa, and operating temperature ranges from 0 to 60°C. The power supply is three-phase, 380 V AC ±10% (IEC 60038), with power consumption between 5.5 and 15 kW depending on pump and motor sizes. The ingredient ratio range is adjustable from 1:1 to 1:10 for syrup-to-water ratios. Control accuracy is ±0.1% for flow control loops. Contact parts are made of stainless steel 316L (ASTM A240), and the system has an ingress protection rating of IP54–IP65 (IEC 60529). The skid-mounted unit weighs approximately 800–1500 kg, with a footprint of about 2000×1200×1800 mm (L×W×H). The system uses precision pumps, flow meters, and control valves to measure and deliver predetermined quantities of syrup concentrate, treated water, and carbon dioxide into a mixing chamber, where they are thoroughly blended under controlled pressure and temperature before transfer to carbonation and filling stages. Materials on file include stainless steel 316L, food-grade plastics, and sanitary-grade elastomers. This directory entry provides reference values; actual specifications must be confirmed with the legal manufacturer or supplier for the specific model and application.

Working Principle

The system operates by using precision pumps, flow meters, and control valves to measure and deliver predetermined quantities of syrup concentrate, treated water, and carbon dioxide into a mixing chamber. These ingredients are thoroughly blended under controlled pressure and temperature conditions, ensuring a homogeneous mixture. The blended product is then transferred to the carbonation and filling stages. The control system maintains the desired ratios and flow rates, with control accuracy of ±0.1% for flow control loops. The system is designed to operate within specified pressure and temperature ranges, and its materials are selected for food contact safety.
