The flow of product is measured by an electromagnetic flow meter at the inlet of the system. The system doses the additives according to product flow and in a fixed rate given by the recipe for malt extract, hops products, flavours or enzymes. The flow of additives is controlled by frequency controlled metering pumps or by control valves.
The dosing takes place directly in-line and via a hygienic valve combination. CO
2 can also be applied to the container or the dosing vessel to avoid contamination with oxygen. At the end of production, the complete dosing system can be rinsed with water and cleaned via a CIP station.
The unit can be controlled by a local PLC with a touch panel or by a process control system.
Designed for high hygienic standards, all common cleaning agents in the beverage and chemical-pharmaceutical industry can be used for CIP cleaning.
