JUICE MIXING STATION

Use

The mixing system has been designed for manufacturers of juices and other beverages and
liquid products. This practical solution enables preparing mixtures of concentrates made up
from any components available in the plant to create a satisfactory finished product of con-
stant quality.

Principles of operation

The system is based on control system software which controls the operation of valves and the
working of valve blocks with the rest of the system. The mixing system operates on collecting
pipes, in an arrangement that enables performing several product mixing cycles simultaneously.
This requires entering the types, quantities and storage locations of components into the com-
puter. Each product has an assigned number and its basic parameters are entered into the
system. The programme can store data of up to 100 components for preparing mixtures.

All mixing processes are controlled by a controller which can store several hundred recipes.
If no recipe is available, a process specialist can enter it into the recipe database by selecting
any components, bearing in mind that the sum of all components must be 100%.

The process of mixing components

according to a recipe involves
selecting the recipe number and
name, specifying the total quan-
tity after mixing the components
and the mixing location. When
executing a product recipe, the
programme feeds the individual
components through the valves
into the collector and pumps
them into the mixing tank.

The visualisation functionality allows constant monitoring of the components’ transport into
the mixing tank and viewing the set recipe on a special panel. The panel shows each indi-
vidual phase of obtaining components, their quantity and the increasing weight in the mixing
tank. The HACCP-compliant software ensures full product traceability in each production
phase. When the process is finished, the programme automatically starts cleaning the instal-
lation. Installation cleaning can be performed simultaneously to the production process.

Scope of delivery

B&P ensures a comprehensive service to its customers: from defining customer requirements,
preparing an offer, execution, compiling technical documentation, which is an integral part
of the manufactured equipment, and finally organising transport as well as providing
a number of services related to installation and start-up.

An individual project is prepared for every customer, defining the number, type, capacity of
tanks and the type of control system. The mixing station can be integrated into an existing
bottling line or other equipment.
