Degassing and mixing unit for beverage production
Ensuring the consistency and quality of still beverages in high-volume production can be challenging due to issues like oxygen contamination and inconsistent mixing ratios. Proper degassing and accurate mixing are critical for achieving a premium product.
Ensures consistent mixing and degassing
The XBLEND from Sipa Solutions is a continuous multi-component unit designed to degas and mix beverages with high precision. It operates fully automatically, controlled by a PLC with a 15-inch touch-screen interface. The unit handles 2 to 6 dosing lines using in-line proportional dosing to achieve thorough and accurate mixing. The system is highly hygienic with easy-to-clean stainless steel components, meeting high sanitation standards. It features a compact design thanks to the tank’s horizontal arrangement, which also simplifies logistics and installation. The XBLEND can process up to 66,000 liters per hour, depending on the model, ensuring reliable and consistent beverage quality. The unit’s design includes frequency-controlled pumps and a high vacuum deaeration principle, which minimizes residual oxygen to less than 0.5 ppm in the final product. It’s suitable for various production needs, as it supports mixing ratios from 1:4 to 1:1, and ensures high accuracy with a mixing deviation of ± 0.03 °Bx.
