Beverage carbonation and mixing unit

Streamline your beverage production with a unit that ensures precise carbonation and mixing, minimizing syrup and product loss while delivering consistent quality and blending efficiency.

Carbonates and Mixes Beverages Continuously

The Massblend system from SIPA is a highly efficient continuous beverage carbonation and mixing unit that significantly enhances the beverage production process. It employs an inline proportional dosing system with a mass flow meter to ensure accurate CO2 carbonation and syrup blending. This equipment is ideal for producing carbonated soft drinks, mineral waters, and juices, supporting both high and low carbonation levels with a dosing accuracy of ±0.05 V/V for CO2 and ±0.03 °Bx for syrups.

The Massblend system is available in models with capacities ranging up to 66,000 liters per hour, providing substantial throughput for demanding operations. Fully automatic and PLC-controlled, it integrates smoothly into existing production lines, featuring a user-friendly 15-inch touch-screen panel for efficient operation. Its design emphasizes hygiene and logistics, with a compact horizontal tank arrangement facilitating easy cleaning and installation.

The unit’s innovation lies in its vacuum-driven water deaeration and mass flow-controlled carbonation, ensuring minimal residual oxygen in the final product. Constructed from AISI316 stainless steel, it offers durability and corrosion resistance suitable for the food and beverage industry. The Massblend system not only helps reduce gas consumption but also includes additional options such as product cooling and precise measurement tools, making it a versatile solution for beverage manufacturers seeking reliable performance and product consistency.
