Degassing and mixing unit for beverage production
Ensure precise beverage formulation and maintain high quality standards with a compact mixing unit that excels in degassing and syrup ratio accuracy, crucial for seamless flavor integration in diverse product lines.
Degasses and Mixes Multi-Component Beverages
The XBlend multi-component skid-mounted mixing unit from SIPA is a fully automatic solution for precision beverage production. It uniquely employs inline proportional dosing to ensure optimal mixing quality, accuracy, and repeatability. Designed for continuous operations, the XBlend is particularly suited for industries focused on still beverages, carbonated drinks, juices, and more, handling products like flavored milk, vodka, and olive oil. Its degassing and mixing capabilities work on a highly hygienic design, enabled by a vacuum deaeration system and a centrifugal pump that maintains accurate flow control. With capacities of up to 66,000 liters per hour, the XBlend integrates seamlessly with existing production lines and fillers, harnessing a compact horizontal tank arrangement to facilitate easy installation and logistics. The system supports low residual oxygen levels, essential for maintaining product integrity, and its construction in AISI316 stainless steel ensures durability and hygiene. The XBlend offers full PLC control and is capable of handling up to ten components, making it versatile for a broad range of food and beverage applications. Additionally, its sanitation capabilities meet stringent standards, allowing operation at temperatures up to 95°C, while its modular design simplifies maintenance and future upgrades.
