Carbonation plant for all kinds of beverages

Carbonator

 

FAMIX Carbonator – for each application the perfect solution:

  • Compact plant for carbonation with CO2 or other gases and water deaeration if required
  • For different sorts of beverages mineral water, soft drinks, wine, cider, fruit juices, etc.
  • State-of-the-art control technology for highest accuracy with simple operation
  • Fast product changeover, minimum wastage and easy, automated cleaning processes due to Hygienic Design
  • Individual design with optimum performance and quality for highest demands
     

Water deaeration

For production of mineral water the treated beverage makeup water is sprayed into the vacuum vessel by means of a nozzle. This allows the gases dissolved in the water such as air and oxygen to be drawn off by means of an air-cooled vacuum pump. By this method the residual oxygen content in the water will be reduced to values of 1–1.5 mg/l.
 

Optional:

  • 2-stage vacuum deaeration to reduce the residual oxygen content
  • Process analyzer systems for inline monitoring of CO2
  • Integrated cooling with plate heat exchanger

Carbonation

A high-pressure centrifugal pump pumps the deaerated water or beverage through the FAMIX carbonation and mixing unit.

It is the heart of the FAMIX carbonation plants. CO2 is carried along by the jet effect of the injector and then mixed with deaerated water or beverages in the mixing ball. This guarantees the finest carbonation and optimum CO2 binding.

The CO2 level is controlled by the carbonation pressure in the product tank. A pressure-temperature ratio controller sets this pressure according to the required gas volume and the current product temperature.

An additional valve system allows the production of low carbonated products and avoids foaming. A pressure-controlled pump feeds the finished product to the filler. The bottling pressure can be adjusted independent of the carbonation pressure. Carbonation of finished product operates without deaeration to avoid the loss of flavors. The carbonation pump is either fed directly or a buffer tank with level control can be installed.

The Carbonator plants are generally designed for CIP and disinfection with correspondent cleaning programmes. Production and CIP are fully automated.
