Pretreatment System

Beverage Pretreatment System

1. Hot Water System

Function: Generate and supply hot water required for ingredient dissolution, pipeline cleaning, material preheating and CIP sanitation.

Advantages: Stable temperature control; supports continuous production; reduces heating time for raw materials.

2. Sugar Melting System

Function: Dissolve granulated sugar or syrup into qualified sugar liquid by heating and stirring.

Advantages: Fast and uniform dissolution; less sugar caking; automatic concentration control.

3. Deacidification System

Function: Adjust acidity of raw juice or beverage base by removing excess acid.

Advantages: Precise pH adjustment; protect beverage flavor; stabilize product taste batch by batch.

4. Extraction System

Function: Extract active components, flavor substances from tea, fruits or plant raw materials.

Advantages: High extraction rate; retain natural aroma; easy parameter tuning for different raw materials.

5. Milk Powder Dissolving System

Function: Fully dissolve milk powder for lactic acid beverage production.

Advantages: Prevent powder agglomeration; shorten mixing time; improve liquid homogeneity.

6. Monosaccharide & Polysaccharide Preparation System

Function: Prepare monosaccharide and compound sugar solutions according to formula requirements.

Advantages: Accurate brix control; flexible formula switching; stable sweetness performance.

7. Mixing & Allocation System

Function: Mix all raw materials (sugar liquid, juice, additives, water) to get standardized beverage base.

Advantages: Uniform mixing; formula traceability; suitable for multi-product switching.

8. CIP (Clean-in-Place) System

Function: Automatic on-site cleaning and sterilization for tanks, pipelines and equipment without disassembly.

Advantages: Save labor; avoid cross-contamination; meet food hygiene standards.

9. Plate / Tube UHT Sterilizer

Function: Realize ultra-high temperature instantaneous sterilization of beverage feed liquid.

Advantages: Short heating time; maximize flavor retention; high sterilization efficiency.

10. Mixer

Function: Stir and blend raw materials evenly during batching process.

Advantages: Gentle stirring; low shear damage to flavor; easy operation and maintenance.

11. Vacuum Degassing & Aroma Recycling System

Function: Remove dissolved air from liquid and recover volatile aroma components.

Advantages: Reduce oxidation; retain natural fragrance; extend shelf life.

12. Homogenizing System

Function: Break particles and fat globules to stabilize beverage texture.

Advantages: Improve mouthfeel; prevent stratification; make product color uniform.

13. Control System

Function: Monitor and regulate temperature, flow, pressure, time of the whole pretreatment line.

Advantages: Automatic operation; real-time data recording; full batch traceability.

14. Multi-tank Sanitary Filtration System

Function:

Remove suspended solids, colloids and fine particles in liquid. As a pre-treatment filtration unit for beverage production lines, it is generally installed after the batching tank and before UHT sterilization to protect the subsequent homogenizer and UHT heat exchanger and prevent clogging

Advantages:

1. Four sanitary SUS304/316L stainless steel filter vessels mounted in parallel on one skid.

2. Pressure gauges on top of each vessel monitor inlet-outlet differential pressure to identify filter blockage.

3. Complete with pipelines and valves, plus central PLC touchscreen control cabinet for automatic tank switching and on-line pressure monitoring. Supports in-line CIP cleaning.
