APPLICATIONS
The
mixing system has been designed for manufacturers of juices and
other beverages and liquid products. This practical solution
enables preparing mixtures of concentrates made up from any
components available in the plant to create a satisfactory finished
product of constant quality.
PRINCIPLES OF
OPERATION
The
system is based on control system software which controls the
operation of valves and the working of valve blocks with the rest
of the system. The mixing system operates on collecting pipes, in
an arrangement that enables performing several product mixing
cycles simultaneously. This requires entering the types, quantities
and storage locations of components into the computer. Each product
has an assigned number and its basic parameters are entered into
the system. The programme can store data of up to 100 components
for preparing mixtures.
All
mixing processes are controlled by a controller which can store
several hundred recipes. If no recipe is available, a process
specialist can enter it into the recipe database by selecting any
components, bearing in mind that the sum of all components must be
100%.
The
process of mixing components according to a recipe involves
selecting the recipe number and name, specifying the total quantity
after mixing the components and the mixing location. When executing
a product recipe, the programme feeds the individual components
through the valves into the collector and pumps them into the
mixing tank.
The
visualization functionality allows constant monitoring of the
components’ transport into the mixing tank and viewing the set
recipe on a special panel. The panel shows each individual phase of
obtaining components, their quantity and the increasing weight in
the mixing tank. The HACCP-compliant software ensures full product
traceability in each production phase. When the process is
finished, the programme automatically starts cleaning the
installation. Installation cleaning can be performed simultaneously
to the production process.
ADVANTAGES
• High level of
protection against operational errors
• Easy use
• The user can enter an
extensive database of recipes
• Elimination of product
contamination by the cleaning solution
• Repeatability of the
finished product
• Big time savings
thanks to optimized production processes
• Big savings thanks to
precise dosage
• Monitoring of
processes enabled by data archiving
SCOPE OF
DELIVERY
B&P ensures a comprehensive service to its
customers: from defining customer requirements, preparing an offer,
execution, compiling technical documentation, which is an integral
part of the manufactured equipment, and finally organizing
transport as well as providing a number of services related to
installation and start-up.
An
individual project is prepared for every customer, defining the
number, type, capacity of tanks and the type of control system. The
mixing station can be integrated into an existing bottling line or
other equipment.
