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
In this process, the system uses water deaeration carried out in a CO2-saturated tank, combined with the latest technology in the field of carbonation. 

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

  • Quantity measurement for oxygen, CO2, etc.
  • Piping exposed to product is made of 1.4401 stainless steel (AISI316).
  • Energy saving thank to insulation of the product buffer tank.
  • Double stage deaeration with high vacuum principle.

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 affected by CO2 counter pressure 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.
Thanks 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.
