Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for producing beverages from a plurality of flowable components in accordance with the preambles of claims 1 and 10.
  • Beverage mixing methods and the associated devices are used to mix beverages from liquid components. These are, for example, fruit juices or lemonades, which are mixed from water and sugar syrup as larger components and other smaller components such as flavor and odor carriers.
  • the disadvantage here is that the level of the various liquids in a mixing container is used as the starting variable for a dosage.
  • the dosing accuracy depends on the mixing ratio. The greater the ratio of syrup to water, the lower the accuracy of the proportions of the components to be mixed. A complete mixing of the different liquids cannot be guaranteed with this process.
  • a similar batch-wise mixing process is known in a device for dosing, deaerating and carbonating multi-component drinks from several liquid components (DE 31 32 706).
  • this device at least one container is provided, in which the components for metering are measured and which are emptied in batches into a collecting container from which the mixture is fed to a downstream post-mixing container, whereby an at least two-stage mixture is achieved.
  • CO2 is guided in counterflow to the liquid flow through the post-mixing tank, the collecting tank and at least one measuring tank or a component storage tank connected upstream of this. In this way, a three-stage ventilation and carbonization should take place with good mixing.
  • the last container in the gas flow direction is a measuring container or component storage container for the component which contains no aromatic substances.
  • the largest component flows through the measuring container of smaller components.
  • the disadvantage of this device is that the mixing ratio can only be varied within a narrow range, since the smaller component, usually syrup, always has a constant volume.
  • Such a mixing device must therefore always be operated with a fixed basic setting.
  • the device requires 3 different containers for water, syrup and for the mixing process.
  • the generic device for producing beverages (DE 40 31 534) from at least two liquid components is also known.
  • the batch quantities of the components to be mixed are measured in a metering container of the larger component and a metering container of the smaller component and then drained into a collecting container.
  • the metering container of the smaller component has an additional inlet, through which a quantity of the larger component flows from a storage container into the metering container the smaller one can be filled in before a quantity of the smaller component corresponding to the intended mixing ratio is let in from the storage container.
  • a disadvantage of this device is in particular the complex apparatus structure for metering and mixing the individual components, since a complete metering unit must be present for each component. Furthermore, additional containers and lines are required for mixing.
  • the object of the invention is to selectively dose, mix and homogenize the respective quantities of several flowable components for the production of different drinks with high dosing accuracy independently of external disturbances by the smallest technical and time expenditure.
  • the advantage of the solution according to the invention consists essentially in the fact that the metering of the larger components water and sugar solution and the metering of the smaller components takes place simultaneously and continuously, thereby reducing the time required for known solutions to a minimum.
  • Flow metering devices are used for metering, which measure the mass or the volume. When measuring the mass, the mixing ratio is independent of temperature. Due to the circulation of the dosed larger components and the delivery of smaller components, a complete mixture is available, ie the finished beverage is completely homogenized. Furthermore, due to the batchwise dosing operation, dosing is independent of faults outside the system, for example in a filling machine to be fed by the system.
  • the invention will be explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment.
  • the figure shows a schematic device for producing beverages in the form of a metering and mixing station for four flowable components.
  • the beverage is produced in batches from several flowable components. Larger components such as water and sugar solution or only water and smaller components such as finished raw materials or sugar solution and concentrates of flavor and odor carriers are combined.
  • the larger components in the example water and sugar solution are removed from containers and measured in batches and brought together continuously. They are mixed at the same time.
  • the components are dimensioned using the flow method.
  • the mixture formed is continuously circulated, with the components continuing to mix.
  • the smaller components, in the example two concentrates are also measured in batches during the batch breaks.
  • the dimensions are volumetric in containers. These measured quantities of the smaller components are conveyed into the circulating liquid flow and are also circulated. The entire mixture is continuously mixed and homogenized. It is then discharged.
  • the device for producing beverages from several flowable components essentially consists of a lying container, which is divided by a radial partition 1 into a water container 2 and a mixture collecting container 3.
  • a water supply line 5, which can be shut off by a valve 4 opens into the water container 2 and a gas discharge line 6 with a check valve 7 is provided on the upper part of the water container 2 for the discharge of gas.
  • a water drain line 8 with a rotary piston pump 9 is arranged at the bottom of the water tank 2.
  • the water drainage pipe 8 has a connection to a mixing point 12 via a check valve 10 and a mass flow meter 11. This mixing point 12 is also connected to a line 13 for sugar solution.
  • the sugar solution is located in a sugar solution container 14, into which the sugar solution passes through a sugar solution feed line 15.
  • a sugar solution discharge line 16 with a rotary piston pump 17, check valve 18 and a mass flow meter 19 is arranged between the sugar solution container 14 and the mixing point 12.
  • the mixing point 12 and the mixture collecting container 3 are connected by an inlet 20.
  • a circulation line 21 with a pump 22 is provided for better mixing and homogenization and for adding further components.
  • this circulation line 21 consists of several sub-lines, the part leading upwards starting in the lower region of the mixture collecting container 3 and leading to a turning part. The turning part is followed by a part directed downwards, which in turn opens into the mixture collecting container 3.
  • the beginning and the end of the circulation line 21 are advantageously always in the liquid area of the mixture collecting container 3.
  • Containers 23, 24 are respectively provided for the admixing of further components, namely smaller components.
  • These containers 23; 24 each have a concentrate inlet 25; 26 with shut-off valve 27; 28.
  • the amount of the concentrate is determined by measuring the height in the containers 23; 24.
  • a line 29; 30 for the concentrate is arranged in the bottom of the containers 23; 24, which leads together into the downward-facing part of the circulation line 21.
  • an injector 31 is provided at this point.
  • the head space of the containers 23:24 is still connected to the mixture collecting container 3 and, for cleaning, also to the circulation line 21 by means of shut-off valves 32, 33 with shut-off valves.
  • a discharge line 34 with a pump 35 is provided.
  • the mode of action is as follows:
  • Water as a larger component is supplied to the water tank 2 through the water supply line 5 with valve 4. From there, the water is conveyed to the mixing point 12 by a rotary piston pump 9 and the water drainage line 8 via the check valve 10 and the mass flow meter 11. The same happens with the larger component, namely the sugar solution.
  • the sugar solution is fed through the sugar solution supply line 15 with valve to the sugar solution container 14. From there, the sugar solution is conveyed through a rotary piston pump 17 and the sugar solution drain line 16 via the check valve 18 and the mass flow meter 19 to the mixing point 12. Since the larger components are dosed and mixed in batches, the rotary lobe pumps 9 and 17 are started at the start of the batch and stopped at the end of the batch.
  • the start of the batch is controlled by a minimum contact (not shown) in the mixture collecting container 3 and ends for each individual larger component by signals from the mass flow meters 11 and 19.
  • the two larger components are brought together in the mixing point 12, these components being mixed intensively.
  • a further mixing and homogenization is carried out by constantly circulating the components.
  • the circulation is carried out through the circulation line 21 in which the pump 22 is located.
  • a favorable circulation is carried out in the example in such a way that the circulation line 21 begins in the lower region of the mixture collecting container 3 and also ends there again, that is to say always in the liquid region. It is led upwards, has a turning part and leads down again.
  • an injector 31 in which the components which are not in terms of quantity are supplied to the circulation flow of the already mixed components which are of larger quantity.
  • the smaller components in the example two components, are located in the containers 23; 24. They are concentrates through a concentrate inlet 25; 26 into the containers 23; 24.
  • the concentrates are measured in terms of quantity during the batch breaks and when a certain liquid level is reached the respective shut-off valve 27 or 28 assigned to the concentrate inlets 25; 26 is closed. This dimension takes place per batch.
  • the concentrate measured in each case is introduced into the circulation line 21 and the mixture of the larger components is metered in. For better mixing, the concentrates are introduced through an injector.
  • the mixture which now consists of four components, is fed into the mixture collecting container 3 and continuously circulated through the circulation line 21, while still being intensively mixed and homogenized. It is fed through the discharge line 34 with pump 35, for example, to a filling machine. This removal of the mixture from the mixture collecting container 3 takes place continuously. When the mixture reaches the minimum contact level in the mixture collecting container 3, the next batch is triggered. This batch is not interrupted, even if there is no acceptance, since the mixture collection container is dimensioned in such a way that it is able to absorb the quantity of a batch above the minimum contact.
