Background
Soft drinks are enormously popular beverages consisting
primarily of carbonated water, sugar, and flavorings.
The market expanded in the 1830s when soda water was first sold in glass bottles. Filling and
capping the gaseous liquid in containers was a difficult process until 1850, when a manual filling
and corking machine was successfully designed. The term "soda pop" originated in the 1860s
from the popping sound of escaping gas as a soda bottle was opened.

 CLARIFYING THE WATER - The quality of water is crucial
to the success of a soft drink. Impurities, such as suspended
particles, organic matter, and bacteria, may degrade taste and
color.

FILTERING - The clarified water is poured through a sand filter
to remove fine particles of floc.
 STERILIZING - Sterilization is necessary to destroy bacteria and
organic compounds that might spoil the water's taste or color.

DECHLORINATING THE WATER - an activated carbon filter
dechlorinates the water and removes residual organic matter,
much like the sand filter.

G PROCESS

• Mixing the ingredients -The dissolved sugar

and flavor concentrates are pumped into
the dosing station in a predetermined
sequence according to their compatibility.
The water and syrup are carefully combined
by sophisticated machines, called
proportioners, which regulate the flow rates
and ratios of the liquids
 CARBONATING THE BEVERAGE - Carbonation is generally added
to the finished product, though it may be mixed into the water at
an earlier stage.

MANUFACTURI
NG PROCESS
FILLING AND PACKAGING - The finished product is transferred
into bottles or cans at extremely high flow rates. Because soft
drinks are generally cooled during the manufacturing process,
they must be brought to room temperature before labeling to
prevent condensation from ruining the labels.
• Finally, containers are packed
into cartons or trays which are
then shipped in larger pallets or
crates to distributors.
RAW MATERIALS
BASIC INGREDIENTS
• Carbonated water: on average, 94% of a soft
drink
• Sweetener (sugar, high-fructose corn syrup
[HFCS], or non-caloric sweetener): on average,
6–12% of a soft drink.
Diet Sodas on the other hand are made
of artificial sweeteners
RAW MATERIALS
MINOR INGREDIENTS
• Acids (most commonly citric acid) to sharpen the
background taste and enhance the “thirst-
quenching experience by stimulating saliva flow”
• Additives to enhance taste, mouthfeel, aroma,
and appearance
• Emulsions (most commonly gums and pectin) to
enhance appearance
• Preservatives
• Saponins enhance the foamy head of certain soft
drinks, like cream soda and ginger beer.

WATER TREATMENT
EQUIPMENT

• this equipment is
responsible for removing
large amount of organic
compounds or dissolved
organic materials in water.
WATER FILTRATION
SYSTEM

• this equipment removes

particulate matter from
water by forcing the water
to pass through porous
media which often made up
of sand, gravel and charcoal.
WATER CHLORINATION
SYSTEM

• this equipment is
responsible of adding
chlorine to water which kills
certain bacteria and other
microbes.
 ACTIVE CARBON
DECHLORINATION
SYSTEM

• this equipment is
responsible for the reaction
of carbon and free chlorine
which is converted to
chloride. This purify the
liquids and gases.
 SODA MIX TANK

• the water and other

ingredients are mixed in this
tank which the soft drinks
will be made.
BOTTLE MOLDING
MACHINE

• this equipment is
responsible for formation of
hollow plastic parts that can
be joined together. It is also
used for forming glass
bottles or other hollow
shapes.
BOTTLE WASHING
MACHINE

• this equipment is
responsible for cleaning the
bottles before filling it with
the mixed soft drink
 ADHESIVE

• this machine is responsible

of putting the labels to the

 BOTTLE FILLING
MACHINE

• this machine filled the

mixed soft drinks to the PET
bottles.
 CONVEYOR
SYSTEM

• this equipment is used to

move the materials to
another location.
 BOTTLE
PALLETIZER

• this machine is for the

packaging of the finished
product.
 • The most critical equipment is the water filtration because it
MOST CRITICAL ensures that the water used to make the drinks is treated
and cleansed to meet quality-control standards. Without
EQUIPMENT this, the soft drinks will be harmful to the consumer, thus
the production will stop.
