GEA Diessel continuous in-line blending systems type DICON-C™ are designed for the continuous high-precision mixing
of soft drinks. The number of the components to be mixed is not limited. Flow
rates from 2 l/h are possible in the concentrate lines.
Liquid flows
are measured by accurate flow meters (such as mass flow meters type MDM or
electromagnetic flow meters type IZM™) and transmitted to the automatic system
controller. The digital controller compares the measured values in
consideration of the preselected mixing ratios and actuates the controlling
devices in such a way that the preset values are exactly kept. Short-termed
control deviations are completely compensated. Deaerating and test vessels
prevent any air occlusions and thus even any potential measuring errors. Apart
from that, they permit the cyclical monitoring of the flow meters for the
concentrates. Modulating valves and/or positive pumps with frequency converter
are used as controlling devices. The in-line blending system is followed by the
carbonator, type DICAR™, wherein the desired CO2 content is set. Essential
product criteria like Brix value and conductivity are determined and monitored
on-line in the DICAR™ carbonator. If desired, an automatic correction (e.g. of
Brix deviations) can be carried out within the DICON-C™
system, too.
Special features:
- Direct mixing of the products in the pipeline, no mixing tanks required
- Small product quantities only are included in the system, quick
availability of the product
- High accuracy by the use of precise flow meters
- Cyclical monitoring of the flow meters during the running process
- The digital controller is not subject to any fault caused by the signal
conversion and compensates any short-termed deviations completely
- Easy handling
- Compact factory-tested device, ready for connection
- Can be combined with the carbonator, type DICAR™
