Demineralization and carbonation for bottled table water

Ensure consistent carbonation and precise blending for beverage production while minimizing CO2 consumption, enhancing your product quality and operational efficiency.

Deaerates and Carbonates Beverages Continuously

The Innopro DCX from KHS Group is a versatile deaerator and carbonator unit tailored for high-speed beverage and liquid food production lines. It adeptly uses vacuum spray deaeration techniques in one or two stages for flexible processing based on product requirements. This unit is integral to operations involving the preparation of mineral waters, soft drinks, and fruit juices, offering a seamless transition from deaeration to carbonation. With a throughput capacity of up to 65,000 liters per hour, it accommodates demanding production needs effectively.

Automation is a key feature, with recipe-controlled CO2 addition and buffer tank pressure adjustments that ensure precise carbonation while minimizing CO2 usage and operator intervention. This results in improved energy efficiency and consistently high product quality.

The compact design ensures easy integration into existing processing lines, requiring minimal space. The system’s robust construction offers reliability with reduced maintenance demands, enhancing overall line performance with less downtime.

The Innopro DCX is an indispensable asset for beverage producers seeking to optimize their processing capabilities and maintain superior product quality in a competitive market.
