Beverage Production Line Commonly Used Production Equipment Types

First, water treatment equipment

Water is a raw material used in beverage production, and the quality of the water has a great impact on the quality of the beverage. Therefore, water must be treated to meet the process requirements of the beverage line. Water treatment equipment is generally classified into three categories according to its function: water filtration equipment, water softening equipment, and water disinfection equipment.

Second, the filling machine

From the perspective of packaging materials, it can be divided into liquid filling machine, paste filling machine, powder filling machine, particle filling machine, etc.; from the automation degree of production, it is divided into semi-automatic filling machine and automatic filling production line. From the filling material, whether it is gas or not, it can be divided into equal pressure filling machine, atmospheric pressure filling machine and negative pressure filling machine.

Third, sterilization equipment

Sterilization is an important part of beverage processing. Beverage sterilization is somewhat different from medical and biological sterilization. Beverage sterilization has two meanings: one is to kill the pathogenic bacteria and spoilage bacteria contaminated in the beverage, destroy the enzyme in the food and make the beverage in a specific environment, such as a closed bottle, a can or other packaging container. There is a certain shelf life; the second is to protect the nutrients and flavor of the beverage as much as possible during the sterilization process. Therefore, the sterilized beverage is commercially sterile.

Fourth, CIP cleaning system

CIP is an abbreviation for clean in place or in-place cleaning. It is defined as a method of washing the contact surface with food by using a high-temperature, high-concentration cleaning solution without disassembling or moving the device.
