What Equipment Does A Carbonated Drink Production Line Include?

Carbonated drinks are a popular beverage. Its unique taste and the excitement brought by the bubbles have earned it a place in the market.

Carbonated drinks produce many derivatives in today's society, such as sparkling water, soda water, soft drink, salt water, etc. The process flow of carbonated beverage production equipment is a complex process involving multiple steps. From the preparation of raw materials to the final filling and packaging, every link is crucial.

What does a carbonated drink production line include? Carbonated drinks, commonly known as "soda", are drinkable drinks containing gas. The main ingredients are water, sugar, auxiliary materials, colors and other additives. Then, the gas is mixed to make a gas-containing drink.The main packaging includes plastic bottles, cans and glass bottles. The following will introduce in detail each link of the carbonated beverage production line.

1. Water treatment system: Filter the source water, remove impurities, and sterilize it so that the use of drinking water can meet hygienic requirements. At the same time, it can soften the water quality and meet the taste requirements.

2. Processing system: Add water, materials, pigments and other raw materials to ingredients in sequence, and prepare beverages in food-grade jars. It consists of sugar boiler, mixing tank, filter and beverage pump.

3. Refrigeration unit: The prepared beverages will be heat exchanged through the chiller to cool the logistics. The refrigeration unit is divided into two types: air-cooled freezers and cooling towers. At present, air-cooled chillers are the most common in factories. , convenient and does not occupy any area.

4. Carbon dioxide filter: Made of 304 stainless steel, the internal filter material can purify and filter gas impurities in the gas.

5. Carbonation mixer: The main function is to carbonate materials and gases (carbon dioxide) to make carbonated drinks. When the logistics passes through the chiller, the temperature should not be lowered to 1-4°. At this time, the solubility of carbon dioxide The higher it is, the more gas can be dissolved, and the resulting beverage will have better gas content.

6. Pipe valves: Since food needs to meet hygienic standards, pipe valves are also in contact with liquids. They are made of materials such as 304 rope and 304L or above, so that quality and quantity can be guaranteed during production.

7. Filling part: Before using the bottle, use sterile water to rinse it. The 304 stainless steel rinse nozzle is used to rinse the inside of the bottle. The finest nozzle can rinse every position. It is equipped with a high-pressure pump to provide Pressure washes well. Since carbonated drinks are filled with isobaric pressure, the valve adopts isobaric filling method. The thickened liquid cylinder is suitable for soda drinks with various gas content.

8. Capping: Sealing is required after filling. After filling, in order to prevent gas from overflowing quickly, a high-speed capping machine is used for high-speed sealing. It uses magnetic knob technology to screw each cap perfectly.

9. Labeling: After the product is filled and sealed, in order to label the brand and product information, it is usually necessary to label the bottle. Plastic bottles generally use sleeve labels, and glass bottles generally use self-adhesive labels.

10. Packaging: Before the product is launched on the market, 12 or 24 bottles of beverages are packaged. Plastic bottles are generally packaged in plastic film and can be packaged according to various specifications. The bottles are packaged by sealing and cutting, and then shrunk in a high-temperature steam shrinking furnace. Glass bottles are generally packed in cartons.

With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the increasing demand for health among consumers, the production process of carbonated beverages is also constantly improving and innovating to meet the changing market and the diverse needs of consumers.If you are also interested in carbonated drink production line, please feel free to contact us.
