APPLICATIONS
The
B&P fining station has been designed for use with food
processing technology. To ensure efficiency, stability and suitable
organoleptic properties of their products, manufacturers of
concentrates and beverages use fining agents which must be
precisely dosed during the production processes.
OPERATION
PRINCIPLE
In
its standard version, the B&P fining station is fitted with
four tanks. Two tanks are used for preparing the bentonite solution
while the third tank is used for preparing a colloidal mixture. The
fourth tank is reserved for diluting and heating up gelatine
solutions, and is fitted with its own circulating pump, a heat
exchanger and a water heating jacket. The tank volumes can be
matched to individual customer needs.
A
fully automatic PLC control system has been developed for the
B&P fining station. All fining operations are completely
visualised and can be controlled and monitored via a touch
screen.
In order to perform a fining
operation, you only have to specify the fining substance, its
quantity, the water quantity to be added and the process tank. This
data is used to prepare the solution, which is then directed to the
desired tank. Next, the collector line is rinsed and the system
shuts down automatically. All data is archived according to the
current production monitoring requirements (in particular, with the
HACCP system).
