Getting a grip on anything that flows
Whether conventional technology or in-line processes: GEA
Diessel has the right process unit for anywhere in the manufacturing process of
free-flowing food and beverage products. From the intake and storage of crystal
sugar all the way to continuous blending to produce the finished beverage. From
planning to commissioning, we supply the complete solution all from the same
supplier.
GEA Diessel develops both individual components and complete production
systems for everything from the processing of neutral alcohol to the complete
production of spirits. It holds domestic type approval for equipment to meter
alcohol/water mixtures for both customs and excise and commercial purposes:
older existing equipment can easily be replaced.
For the optimum input of raw materials and output of product, GEA Diessel’s
preassembled units bring together the company’s combined experience in flow
technology and inline
analysis techniques. The units are assembled and
tested before installation, leading to a decisive shortening of commissioning
time. They are adapted to the individual situation, so
that they can be
integrated seamlessly into the process.
Batch mixing systems
type DIMA™ and DI-BATCH™
GEA Diessel’s batch mixing
equipment is principally used to ensure that the mixing of syrup base is
subject to precise control. The
DIMA™ and DI-BATCH™ devices
convey the liquid components through pipes to the mixing tanks one after
another. Theoretically, any number of components can be connected up and mixed.
The equipment works on the full-hose principle, so that product losses are
practically excluded.
Continuous blending systems type
DICON™ and DIVA™
The DICON™ and DIVA™ components are
used in the continuous blending of finished beverages. The liquid media are
blended in the correct proportions in-line in the pipe. Digital regulators keep
the blending proportions constant, even when the total throughput fluctuates.
Blending and carbonation system
type DIMIX™
The beverage blender DIMIX™ is designed for the highly accurate continuous blending
and carbonation of soft drinks. The streams of liquid are recorded by accurate
flow meters
and conveyed onwards. The digital regulators ensure that the
recipe values are precisely complied with. The attached saturator adds CO2 gas
to the already blended beverage, and ensures that it is finely distributed and
mixed homogeneously into the product.
Carbonation system type DICAR™
Components of the DICAR™ are designed for the highly accurate continuous
carbonation of soft drinks. The special injection process uses CO2 very
efficiently, thus saving costs and reducing the impact on the environment. The
finely effervescent distribution of the gas ensures a taste experience to
tickle the palate.
Water deaeration
systems DIOX™ and VARIDOX™
The requirements for the shelf
lives of beverages have been constantly tightened up over recent years. The
removal of oxygen is an essential element in meeting these demands.
GEA
Diessel offers just the right technical solution, depending on the limit value
required and the nature of any further processing, with its DIOX™ and VARIDOX™ units. Technological
solutions for all modern processes.
Sugar dissolving systems
type DI-SUGAR-T™, DI-SUGAR-H™, DI-SUGAR-C™
For the
manufacture of sugar syrup by the discontinuous tank dissolving process using
DI-SUGAR-T™, water is held in a
dissolving vessel and crystal sugar introduced into it. In the continuous
process using DI-SUGAR-H™ and
DI-SUGAR-C™, both components
are fed into the system directly in the desired proportions, the sugar is
dissolved to perfection, and if required the syrup is simultaneously
pasteurised.
Stationary reception
systems
Stationary reception systems for road tankers and mobile
metering equipment mounted on the vehicles are available for any purpose with a
variety of additional components, either in a weights and measures approved
version or otherwise. These devices are based on GEA Diessel metering
technology which has led the way for decades, having originally been patented
in 1957, and which became a byword in breweries under the name “Diessel meter”.
CIP systems
For modern
CIP (cleaning in place) and disinfection, GEA Diessel relies on the DICIP-E™ and DICIP-S™ storage tank/recycling
systems, which are more economical and versatile than single use systems while
offering a convincingly high standard of reliability. Tank capacities and the
number of circuits can be adapted precisely to the operating conditions
and
the various demands of the equipment to be cleaned.
Mobile metering
units
Mobile metering units are required every day in almost all
branches of wine-making, brewing and the fruit juice and soft drink industries.
GEA Diessel’s DI-MOBIL™
metering equipment operates by electromagnetic flow metering (in litres) or by
mass flow metering (in kg or litres) and offers the possibility of preselecting
quantities, with automatic pump cut-off and an electric stop valve.
