Degassing and carbonation system for mineral water

Optimize your carbonation process with a compact system that ensures precise CO2 dosing and superior product quality, addressing the need for consistent flavor and effervescence in sparkling and flavored water productions.

Degasses and Carbonates Mineral and Flavored Waters

The Carbo-MW from SIPA is a compact unit designed for efficient degassing and carbonation in mineral and flavored water production. Its innovative in-line proportional CO2 dosing technology uses mass flow meters for precision control, ensuring consistent carbonation quality and repeatability. The process begins with water being guided to a horizontal degassing tank, where high vacuum or CO2 counterpressure efficiently removes gases. This is followed by carbonation using a special injector nozzle that finely dissolves CO2 for maximum solubility. With capacities ranging up to 66,000 liters per hour, the Carbo-MW integrates seamlessly into continuous, fully automatic production lines, featuring PLC control and a 15-inch touch-screen interface for ease of use. It offers significant energy savings through efficient gas consumption and is constructed with stainless steel for durability and hygiene. Optional features like product cooling and precise oxygen and CO2 measurement enhance its versatility. Its compact design allows for easy transport and installation, fitting conveniently into logistics operations. Suitable for the food and beverage industries, the Carbo-MW is essential for beverage manufacturers and bottling companies focused on producing high-quality carbonated drinks.
