Beverage producers are under pressure to run faster, waste less and change products more often. Several practical trends are shaping new and upgraded lines.
More automation and monitoring
PLC and SCADA based controls give operators one view of the line, record batch data and make it easier to repeat a recipe exactly. Automating cleaning cycles also reduces downtime between products.
Flexible lines for more variety
Juices, soft drinks and functional drinks often share one site. Modular process systems, mixing and blending skids and quick changeovers let one plant make several products.
Energy and water efficiency
Heat recovery in heat exchangers and well-designed CIP reduce the energy and water used per litre. Treating effluent on site also helps meet environmental requirements; see our environmental protection solutions.
Hygiene by design
Hygienic design lowers contamination risk and speeds cleaning. It starts with the choice of process equipment and how the line is laid out.
