CARBO-SD

Continuous beverage carbonation unit

Carbo-SD  is  a compact carbonating unit  for the automatic production of carbonated beverage: the system uses the latest technologies in the carbonation field; the carbonation  is obtained by using an in line proportional dosing.
 
 

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
  • Fully automatic process controlled by a PLC, menu-based 15-inch touch-screen operator control panel.
  • Frequency-controlled pumps.
  • Highly hygienic design concept, for easy cleaning and to provide the highest levels of sanitation in the equipment.
  • Highest final product standards in terms of quality, accuracy and repeatability.
  • Product flow control by means of level regulating system in the buffer tank.

  • 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 .
  • Dosing accuracy for CO2: ± 0,05 g/l of CO2 or better (in steady conditions).
  • Cpk capability > 1,33 related to final product.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Carbonation
The CO2 is fed to the system by using a modulating valve and a mass flow meter, a special diffuser is installed to obtain an homogeneous dissolution of the desired CO2 quantity, moreover the dispersion of gas is realized through a static mixer to achieve a fine mixing of CO2 into the final product.



APPLICATIONS

Carbonated soft drinks.
