Introducing a complete line of solutions for the beverage industry

Over the years, the beverage industry has witnessed significant growth in volume and in market value. This dynamic growth has been traced to the increase in demand and also the ability of the industry to innovate new products that meet the needs of global consumers. There is no doubt that the manufacturing sector has played vital roles in such growth. This can be seen in the manufacture of innovative machines such as the carbonated drink filling machine which is used in the processing and packaging of carbonated beverages.

In this post, we will look at a complete line of solutions for the beverage industry and the various components.

Let's get started!

The bottle filling line comprises of different compartments from the bottle washing, liquid filling, and capping, labeling and final packaging of the beverage product.

Bottle washing:

The washing and sterilization of the bottles is carried out with a hot alkaline solution and then rinsed with drinking water. The alkaline solution is composed of caustic soda, sodium carbonate, trisodium phosphate and sodium metasilicate. Caustic soda is the main ingredient because it has a higher germicidal virtue, and hence the duration or temperature of sterilization of the bottles depends almost exclusively on the content of caustic soda.

The other alkalis somewhat increase the germicidal power of the caustic soda solution. The elements that modify efficiency Germicide are: caustic concentration, duration of soaking and temperature. Bottle washing can be of two kinds: submersion and jet.

The bottling plant

The carbonated soft drink plant is modern and organized for economical and efficient production. The installation follows the modern chain mounting technique. Empty bottles are unloaded from trucks and deposited in a warehouse. From this, they are carried by a mechanical transporter, by gravity, to the washing machine, where they are introduced by hand.

After washing and sterilization, they pass through a mechanical orifice to a chain conveyor, ready to be filled. As a rule, in a single machinery the three devices are combined: syrup meters, filler and plugs.

When you pass the bottles under the meter, it enters the exact amount of syrup in each container. They then go to the filler that fills them with soda water and then the capper places and squeezes the corkscrews when passing the bottles to the mixer, which turns them several times so that their contents are well mixed.

The transport chain drives the full bottles that have to pass in front of the inspector, and finally go to a cumulative platform or automatic packing machine; All these operations are carried out quickly and efficiently. Each bottling unit has a capacity that varies between 18 and 220 bottles per minute.

Bottling lines for carbonated beverages are characterized by high variability in terms of types of products treated, bottle sizes, filling methods and production requirements.

The best solution for the beverage industry is to design a bottling line that guarantees great operational flexibility. The bottling line should be of the latest innovations in the blowing range, filling and product preparation monoblocks, and should be able to process different products in the same line, with very short format change times.

Great attention has been paid to the creation of a product preparation range, to guarantee high quality standards of the finished product and a modular design of the lines that allow satisfying the most varied requirements of secondary packaging.
