Monitor and optimize your mixing and blending process

Mixing and blending of beverages has become increasingly complicated with the rise of more complex formulations for drinkable products such as sports drinks, protein smoothies, energy drinks, organic health beverages, new sodas, and artificial sweeteners. Precise measurements are crucial in the production of soft drinks to ensure consistent product quality and efficient use of precious raw materials.

Implementing inline measurement helps to ensure:

Accurate sugar concentration
Precise dosing of additives
Efficient phase separation

Process insights

Preparation of softdrink and syrup processing

Mixing and blending of mixed beer drinks

Process overview of soft drink syrup processing and all relevant measurement parameters at a glance.

Mixing and blending process in mixed beer production, Endress+Hauser supports this application.

Manage your process in real time and measure the sugar concentration inline.

Accurate sugar concentration

Sugar concentration is an important parameter for the consistent quality of soft drinks or juices. To determine the concentration, the density values are converted to different units such as Brix, Baume, API or Plato. Implementing inline measurement technologies into processes provides continuous product monitoring. This real-time data helps to ensure product quality and avoid product loss.

Mass flow meters in beverage production to ensure right dosing

Mass flowmeters ensure accurate dosing of recipe components in beverage production

Precise dosing of additives

The proper implementation of beverage recipes depends on the exact dosage of ingredients and additives. It has a direct influence on product quality and the efficiency of cost-intensive raw material handling.

Mass flowmeters at critical points continuously measure the composition of the mixture, and signal how much additives, such as flavors, colors or sweeteners, should be added to maintain the correct recipe. To ensure precise dosing, highly accurate flow meters such as Proline Promass F 100 are used.

Selected product for additives dosing

Promass F has a long-standing reputation as a highly accurate device under varying process conditions for a broad range of applications.
