Maximize Yields, Improve Product Quality with the Mix Processor

enhanced water blending system

The CSD Blender is a multi-purpose system that can replace a traditional mix processor or become the core of a new system.

Automatic Brix Blending

  • Maintain brix setpoint regardless of syrup brix fluctuations
  • System automatically determines the minimum syrup brix value that can be blended

No-Dump Start Up / End of Production

  • Initial product is automatically blended rich to compensate for residual water in the filler
  • Also due to residual water, initial product CO2 settings are automatically lowered during the initial bowl charge to achieve target CO2 setpoint.

Automatic Syrup Detection

  • Perform automatic syrup cuts at the blender for sugared and diet syrups. The system significantly reduces syrup losses by automatically determining the presence and proper strength of the syrup.
  • Syrup detection feature works automatically during syrup charges and syrup cuts.

Self Contained CIP System - Option

  • Eliminates the need to provide an external CIP source

Changeover

  • Automatic syrup detection and changeover controls are integrated to the syrup room, empty container system and the filler.
  • Utilizing a three-stage rinse, the syrup system is rinsed completely before the production run is finished, allowing the next syrup to be charged ahead of time.
  • Precise blending generates higher syrup yields, reduces losses and achieves lower BOD between changeovers.

Controls and Software

  • Coriolis mass flow meter blend system for syrup and water components
  • Water and syrup reservoirs with automatic level control
  • Allen Bradley PLC control system

Options:

  • Meter based in-line carbonation
  • Vacuum deaeration system
  • Ammonia plate and frame chiller package
  • Self-contained CIP system
