CARBO-MW

Continuous degassing and carbonation unit for mineral water

Carbo-MW is  a compact deaerating and carbonating unit for the automatic production of carbonated water: the system uses the water deaeration is realized in a saturated tank of CO2, combined with the latest technologies in the carbonation field.
 

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Highest final product standards in terms of quality, accuracy and repeatability.
  • The carbonation is obtained by using an in line proportional dosing of CO2.
  • Xfill version available, for a direct integration with the filler.
  • Mass flow meter to control the CO2 quantity.
  • Design extremely compact, thanks to the tank’s horizontal arrangement.
  • Very easy logistic: machines are packable in containers for fast installation and commissioning.

Main features and advantages


GENERAL FEATURES
  • In line proportional CO2 dosing system with mass flowmeter

FINAL PRODUCT PERFORMANCE
  • Carbonation range: 1,5 ÷ 4,5 V/V
  • CO2 control accuracy: ± 0.05V/V or better in any condition
  • Cpk capability > 1,33 related to final product.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Degassing
The water is guided to a horizontal degassing tank. Individually water operated spraying nozzles in the tank enable a speed control.Degassing is effected by CO2 counterpressure or the principle of high vacuum in option, after which a flow meter measures the amount of water to be pumped for the beverage production

Carbonation
The CO2 is fed via a control valve and measured with a mass flow meter, using an in line proportional dosing system.
Thank to a special injector nozzle, the CO2 is finely dissolved to guarantee the maximum solubility in the treated product, utilising exactly the amount required for the beverage carbonation.



APPLICATIONS

Carbonated mineral water and flavoured water.
