In laboratory: fast, easy, accurate and cheap analysis these are some of the features of DR 10 – Easy Diet differential refractometer (picture), the new laboratory instrument created for measuring the concentration of diet or no-added sugar beverages, including carbonated soft drinks, flavoured waters and functional beverages.
Press for synthetic cork
Presmahas been designedRoto T1/48 V ELupon specific request of an Italian customer wanting to make T-shaped corks by automatic loading of plastic or wood heads of different size, without having to change the mould. Although plasticization group is horizontal, unlike previous versions, it is equipped with a head with vertical nozzle with lower injection. The injection hinged group, running by rotary movement, enables the nozzle to move nearer and to drive away; such configuration has also enabled to reduce overall size.
Isobaric filler
MBF’s isobaric fillerFILLMATIC HPpromises to make us forget the past, thanks to its innovative filling technology, quick and automatic sanitization process, its flexibility in the management of formats and products, the high quality of the materials used to construct it and the possibility to customize the machine. Suitable for filling function with sparkling wines and champagnes even at room temperature, FILLMATIC HP optimize the process and eliminates the costs of cooling and heating the product. The machine, equipped with a complete automatic management of the entire work cycle, can be quickly configured for each type of product and bottle size. The automatic regulation of the levels, together with the already established technology of the universal type inlet and outlet stars (MBF patent) mean that there is virtually no manual intervention on the filler during the phase of format change, leading to a drastic reduction in the time dedicated to this operation. Another feather is the sanitization that takes place using the basin device, a patented system, without using dummy bottles, and allowing easy, quick and complete recovery of the product when necessary.
Analysis by gas chromatography
To assure the best performance of each cork: this is the mission ofAmorim Cork, leader company on international and Italian market for the sale of bottling caps. If cork is considered by experts as the best raw material for wine bottles’ closing than alternative aluminum or plastic ones, the possibility of running in the so-called “cork taint”, due to the presence of “trichloroanisole”(TCA) natural compound may still raise suspicions.
Still wines, spirits, sparkling wine
Oeneois a group quoted on the stock exchange that produces cork stoppers brandedDiam Bouchage. Cork is purified through Diamant patented process, which guarantees sensorial neutrality and respect of the flavors and assures differentiated homogeneity and permeability. Caps are made individually and vary in size according to the shapes of the wine bottles. They are guaranteed singly without cork taint (TCA releasable under 0.5 ng/l limit of quantification), and the eradication of undesirable molecules assures the absence of sensory deviations.
Wine safe bottling
Cork stoppers are considered unsafe for bottling, since they can cause organoleptic problems that can alter wine. The solution is possible with a relatively simple system: by testing the cork to understand exactly which steps to take. There are organoleptic tests to be done on corks that consider and test all organoleptic parameters related to the material: contaminated such as TCA, TCB, and pyrazines, leakages related to the cap density, moisture, residual of oxidants, etcetera. The purpose of these “sample” analysis (the percentage of stoppers to be analyzed is defined by a precise sampling plan) is to obtain a result within the range defined by the current regulations, by stating if the cork meets the regulations.
Exchangers Tube-in-tube heat
TheVeloSTT Tube-in-Tube Heat Exchangersare modular units for eating/cooling products, such as must and fruit juices both with and without pulp. Their shape makes easy the access to the tubes conveying the product and therefore a rapid cleaning of the heat exchanger. The system features a series of units including two horizontal concentric Aisi 304 stainless steel tubes, positioned one above the other. The product flows inside the tube while the heating/cooling fluid flows in the circular crown section between the two tubes. The inside of the tube is corrugated with a spiral pattern which produces turbulent flow in order to improve the heat exchange. Each single element is lagged with 30 mm thick high density foamed polyurethane covered with Aisi 304 stainless steel sheet.
Blendsystem M Premix Unit
The growing market’s confidence gained by process plants manufactured by DRINK SYSTEMS, already well-establishedWATER SYSTEMS’ brand, allowed a continuous development of blending technology for carbonated soft drinks (CSD) production to such an extent that we had the possibility to supply a plant for 25.000 l/h of product to an important producer of CSDs (based on juice fruit with pulp), which is probably the most famous one of the sector.
The realization of this kind of device is on one hand the positive result of the technologic growing process planned by the firm management since the society has born and on the other hand it lays the foundations for a further business growth of the firm itself: the unit represents the top of technology which is now available on the market and allows to reach the highest performances in terms of dosing accuracy (0,03°Brix and 0,05 v/v of CO2) and of residual oxygen in water after the double stage of deaeration (lower than 0,5 ppm), which are the same performances guaranteed by the biggest bottling lines manufacturers. The specific need of the Customer to integrate the equipment in an existing line made necessary the preventive study of components placing (and its approval by him) by means of CAD instruments for 3D drawings, which allowed to optimize the system compactness and at the same time to guarantee an easy access to components for maintenance operations.
The whole system, realized to guarantee the highest qualitative standards and a qualitatively constant production, also running in conditions of considerable format change, is completely preassembled on stainless steel circular-section skid for an easy and efficacious cleaning. It includes the following subsystems:
– inlet water deaeration: a double stage deaerating system equipped with vacuum pump removes incondensable gases; the vacuum pump is conceived to maintain the dissolved oxygen level below 0,5 ppm values;
– carbon dioxide dosing: a modulating valve and a mass flow rate transmitter inject carbon dioxide in quantity that is proportional to water quantity loaded to the deaeration tank; the water flow rate is measured by a magnetic flow rate transmitter. A special gas injecting and mixing system – specifically developed by WATER SYSTEMS – performs a careful mixing with the water to be treated and, hence, best results in terms of product perlage; the carbon dioxide concentration is maintained constant in the product receiving tank by a supervising software, which checks possible fluctuations in temperature of feeding water and in product buffer tank; the effective dissolved carbon dioxide concentration in the product is checked using a carbometric unit, installed on the filling machine feeding line;
——糖浆剂量和混合:起初糖浆是商店d in a small buffer tank, whose atmosphere is modified and enriched with carbon dioxide, in order to avoid oxidation. Syrup injection is made by a sanitary design modulating valve and a mass flow rate transmitter in a quantity which is proportional to the water amount fed from the deaeration tank; furthermore the use of a mass flow rate transmitter allows to check constantly the effective density of the inlet syrup and therefore to compensate immediately for the dosing and to stabilize the sugar concentration in the end product within established bounds. Analogously, when producing diet beverages, a specific refractometer allows the constant check of syrup injection also in case of flow rate fluctuations from syrup room; a second refractometer, installed on the filler feeding line, allows the continuous product check and, if necessary, its adjustment. Similarly the instruments minimize waste of both syrup and product during transitory phases of production, such as start and stop, thence allowing water-syrup dosing ratio up to 1:1 in this phase;
– product cooling: the cooling section of this plant consists in tubes heat exchangers instead of plates ones because of the considerable size of pulps present in the product;
– mixing systems: for the same reason, pulp presence in concentrate and thence in end product, the tanks of syrup and end product have been equipped with agitators designed and manufactured by ALFA LAVAL in order to guarantee product homogeneity also in case of filling line stop;
– pumping systems: concentrate and product transferring is carried out with lobes volumetric pumps which are conceived to avoid fruit cells damaging;
– product receiving tank and filling machines feeding system: as above announced, the product tank (conceived to work at a pressure up to 7,0 bar), is equipped with agitator designed to avoid pulps precipitation in case of filling line stop; furthermore the output line is provided with a cluster of mixproof valves in order to allow the feeding of two different fillers and to carry out cleaning operations on a part of equipments while the other part continues the production.
All the mixproof valves installed on pulp product lines are “seat clean” to allow the valve drain chamber during cleaning phase for the highest hygiene degree. The supervising software loaded on the mass-control premix unit – Blendsystem M is conceived to guarantee the best results in terms of dosing, offering at the same time an easy control by a friendly user interface; this software enables on one hand to set the main production parameters and visualize their state graphically and on the other hand to set the statistic parameters (ca, cpe cpk) linked to that kind of production. The equipment is equipped with field buses (ETHERNET) for a complete integration in the bottling line and the control of production, cleaning and sanitizing processes.
