Continuous Beverage Syrup Blending

Process Description

Finished beverage syrup is produced by blending water, sweeteners and flavor concentrates. Sweeteners are supplied from storage tanks. Flavor concentrate is unloaded from portable tote tanks. A metering system controls the rate at which the individual components are added. The various solutions are metered through an in-line mixer into the syrup changeover tanks. Two tanks are supplied to simplify switching from one flavor to another. The finished syrup is fed to the carbo-coolers by the syrup feed pumps.
