(1) Cooling effect
(2) hinder the growth of microorganisms
(3) Highlight the fragrance
(4) It has a comfortable brake taste

2. Factors affecting carbonation effect
2.1 Temperature and pressure
Solubility of CO2 in 100 volumes of water at 1 atm:
Table:

Volume numberTemperature (℃)
1710
11910
8820
75.725
3660

The solubility of CO2 in water is inversely proportional to temperature and proportional to the pressure acting on the liquid surface.
2.2 Air
1 volume of air removes approximately 50 volumes of CO2. At the same time, the presence of air will cause foaming and gushing during filling.
2.3. Beverage properties
Different types of liquids and the different solutes present in the liquid have a great influence on the solubility of carbon dioxide.

3. Measurement of CO2 Solubility
CO2 solubility is measured as the volume of gas (G.V.) dissolved in water under standard conditions.
Standard state refers to 1 atm, 20°C.
The solubility of CO2 in water in the standard state is approximately 1, and carbonated beverages use this as the unit of solubility, that is, under this condition, the amount of CO2 gas dissolved in carbonated beverages is 1 gas volume (1 G.V.).

National standard regulations:
The CO2 content in cola beverages shall not be less than 3 times the gas volume, and in other carbonated beverages shall not be less than 2.5 times the gas volume.
Internationally, the CO2 content in carbonated beverages is expressed in g/L.
Gas volume multiple × 1.84 = CO2 content (g/L)

4. Measures to improve carbonation effect

III EQUIPMENT COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE INTRODUCTION

1. Equipment composition:

Washing part, filling part and sealing part.

2. Structure introduction

⑴Washing part

The flushing port is mainly composed of the main part of the bottle washing machine, the fixed frame and the inlet and outlet liquid system, the dispenser part, and the bottle clamp part.

A. Spindle components

The big gear is driven by the main transmission gear, which makes the machine rotate synchronously with the filling machine to complete the tasks of flushing and conveying bottles.

B. The tail of the clip moves with the track, which drives the body of the bottle clamp to rotate around the rotation axis so that the bottle clamp is turned 180, and the washing work is completed in a vertical state.

C. Distributor components

The medium distributor is used to connect the medium used for flushing bottles to the equipment from the user’s pipeline and distribute it to each medium switching valve and nozzle. The materials of this part are stainless steel and special materials, which meet the food hygiene requirements.

(2) Filling section

The filling part is composed of a filling liquid cylinder, a filling valve, a bottle lifting part, an on-off valve and an exhaust port.

A. Filling valve consists of three parts: gas injection, exhaust and liquid valve.

B. Filling process and principle

The bottle is lifted by the bottle holder under the control of the lifting cam, and the bottle mouth is in contact with the rubber seal, which is tight and tightly sealed.

Under the action of the bottles and non-filling mechanism, the valve rod is opened by the blocking post, and the gas injection position is turned. The sterile air or CO2 gas in the cylinder also flows into the bottle through the inner hole.

When the pressure in the bottle is equal to the pressure in the filling cylinder, the liquid valve opens under the action of the spring, the liquid is evenly poured into the bottle along the bottle wall through the diverter umbrella, and the gas in the bottle flows back to the liquid cylinder through the air hole.

When the liquid level in the bottle reaches the gas pipe, the gas circuit is cut off, and the liquid stops flowing; that is, the length of the gas pipe can be changed to adjust the level of the liquid.

At the same time, when the valve is closed, the exhaust cam opens the exhaust rod, and the remaining gas in the bottle is discharged to the atmosphere to prevent foaming in the bottle after the bottle is removed.

(3) Sealing section

This single machine is configured for the production of polyester bottled beverages by most manufacturers at present. The machine has the characteristics of good sealing quality, compact structure, low noise, and easy maintenance. The single machine is mainly composed of two parts, the main shaft and the screw cap.

Capping head and its sliding sleeve

Working principle: The cap screwing head and the sliding sleeve are connected as a whole. When the cap screwing shaft rotates with the main shaft, the gear of the cap screwing shaft meshes with the internal ring gear through the intermediate gear to make it rotate and tighten the bottle cap. If it exceeds the specified torque, the sliding sleeve Rotate with the case, do not turn the cap sleeve to prevent damage to the bottle or bottle cap.

Adjusting the torque: loosen the fastening screw on the adjustment nut, turn the adjustment nut clockwise to turn the torque to a small torque, and tighten the fastening screw after adjusting to an appropriate torque.

When changing the caps of different bottles, the cap ring must be replaced.

IV, INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING

1. Equipment foundation, installation conditions and technical requirements for installation:

The ground is flat, the unit weight is more than 10kg per square centimetre, and the height of the plant is not less than 3.5 meters

2. Installation method and precautions

V. OPERATION

1. Preparation and inspection before use

a. Cleaning:

Basic principles and purpose of cleaning

The purpose of the cleaning process on the food production line is to make the final product meet the required quality standards.

Water circulates through all parts that the filling liquid passes through at high speed, so the effect of mechanical cleaning is achieved. Each cleaning process can be divided into two categories: mechanical cleaning and sterilization cleaning by means of hot water or steam. The in-situ cleaning method enables the relevant cleaning agent to be used multiple times. During cleaning, the loss of concentration or temperature can be compensated by increasing the concentration again or by reheating. How often is the same solution used? Depending on the situation, one capsule can be used 2 to 3 times.

b. Precautions during maintenance

(1) It is not advisable to put water into the gears, bearings, seals and the inside of the table during cleaning. The residual liquid should be scrubbed clean.

(2) When repairing the parts, try not to damage the outer surface of the parts, seals and non-metal parts.

(3) Where grease needs to be filled in advance, the grease should be replenished during maintenance.

(4) The maintenance of supporting parts should be maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If necessary, professional manufacturers can be assisted in the maintenance.

2. Equipment and operation

(1) Before starting the machine, the operator should be familiar with the machine’s manual. They should have a basic understanding of the main structure of the machine, the features and functions of each structure, and the automatic control functions introduced in the previous sections.

(2) Connect the power supply, run idly at idle (pay attention to forward and reverse), check whether the transmission part is normal and whether the safety devices are reliable.
