XBLEND
Highlights:
- Highest final product standards in terms of quality, accuracy and repeatability.
- Starting, Stopping the mixer without syrup and product loss (i.e. flavour change or end of batch)
- Xfill version available, for a direct integration with the filler.
- Design extremely compact, thanks to the tank’s horizontal arrangement.
- Very easy logistic: machines are packable in containers for fast installation and commissioning.
Continuous multi-component degassing and mixing unit
XBlend is a compact mixing unit (mounted on skid) for the automatic production of still beverage from 2 to 10 dosing lines(optional): the system uses the latest technologies in the mixing field; the mixing is obtained by using an in line proportional dosing.

Main features and advantages
- Fully automatic process controlled by a PLC, menu-based 15-inch touch-screen operator control panel.
- Frequency-controlled pumps.
- Syrup qualty check.
- 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.
- Gentle product handling.
- Mixing ratio min ÷ max: 1 : 4 ; 1 : 10
- Outflow rangeability: 1:4.
- Economical use of space, thanks to the tank’s horizontal arrangement.
- Very easy logistics: machines are packable in containers for fast installation and commissioning.
Additional equipments:
- Quantity measurement for Oxygen, °Bx etc.
- Piping exposed to product is made of 1.4401 stainless steel (AISI316).
- Mixing ratio up to 1:1.
- Basic system is composed of two components: first one for deareated water and second one for syrup, but It can be easily expanded to match any specific production requirements up to 10 components.
- Deaeration with high vacuum principle.
- The whole system is designed to be fully sanitized up to a temperature of 95°C .
- Mixing accuracy: ± 0,03 °Bx or better (in steady conditions)
- Cpk capability > 1,33 related to final product.
- Residual Oxygen in the final beverage: < 0,5 ppm
Degassing
The inlet water is deaerated inside a tank by using nozzles, in high vacuum atmosphere (excludable). A magnetic flow meter counts the water that is sent to the mixing system by using a centrifugal pump.
Blending
The inlet syrup is monitored by using a mass flow meter to adjust, if necessary, the dilution ratio in order to maintain and to ensure the maximum accuracy and the maximum repeatability of the final beverage.
A special diffuser is installed to obtain an homogeneous dissolution of the desired syrup quantity, moreover the dispersion of gas is realized through a further static mixer that ensures a fine mixing of the finished beverage.
