Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for producing beverages from flowable components in accordance with the preambles of claims 1 and 11.
  • Beverage manufacturing processes and the associated devices are used for dosing, mixing, homogenizing and / or deaerating and carbonizing flowable components. These are, for example, fruit juices or lemonades, which are mixed from water as a larger component and other components such as finished syrup, flavors and odors and the like.
  • 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 to a limited extent, 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 dose, mix, homogenize and / or deaerate and carbonize respective amounts of flowable components for the production of different drinks with high dosing accuracy by the smallest technical and time expenditure.
  • the advantage of the solution according to the invention consists essentially in the fact that only one pump is necessary for all process steps and for carrying out all functions of the device, such as dosing, mixing, collecting, venting and carbonizing, and also removing the components or the finished beverage.
  • This pump operates a circulation of the mixed beverage flow in a mixed beverage circulation line. In this line, the pump is followed by injectors that cause mixing, homogenization and deaeration and carbonization.
  • the mixed beverage circulation flow generated by the pump is used as the driving jet. If the injectors are arranged in branched and parallel mixed beverage circulation lines, it is also still possible to select the propulsion jet quantities in accordance with the proportions of the components in order to achieve lower pressures in the lines.
  • the device can be designed very simply and has only a few wear parts. It can be used universally. By the presence the energy consumption of only one pump is low. Flow measuring devices are used for dosing. Furthermore, due to the constant circulation of the beverage mixture flow, a complete mixture is available, ie the finished beverage is completely homogenized. In this way, the production of desired beverages of all kinds is possible inexpensively with a very simple device.
  • the invention will be explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment.
  • the figure shows a schematic device for producing beverages from flowable components.
  • the beverage is produced from several flowable components.
  • a larger quantity component such as water and smaller quantity components such as finished raw materials or sugar solution and concentrates of taste and smell carriers are brought together. All components are brought together in the suction process, with a finished or formed mixed beverage circulation stream being used as the driving jet for the suction. Only one pump is provided for circulating the beverage mix. The components are measured in the flow method. The mixture of beverages formed is continuously circulated, with the components continuing to mix and homogenize. If the beverage mix is to be vented and carbonized, the beverage mix recirculation stream is also used as a driving jet for the suction of the inert gas, preferably CO2.
  • the flow velocities of the individual components are reduced before the dosing setpoints are reached, ie it is operated in a so-called slow speed.
  • the metering is interrupted when the setpoints are reached.
  • the process can also be operated in such a way that the circulation of the mixed beverage flow is constant and the metered addition of the components at intervals or that the circulation is only carried out for one batch at a time.
  • the components can be added in series or in parallel circulation lines can be made.
  • the finished beverage mix is then taken directly from the beverage mix recirculation stream and collected and, if provided, post-carbonated. It is then discharged.
  • the device for producing beverages from several flowable components 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 tank 2 and a gas discharge line 6 with a check valve 7 is provided on the upper part of the water tank 2 for discharging gas.
  • the mixture collection container 3 has a beverage mixture circulation line 8, the beginning of which is arranged in the bottom of the mixture collection container 3 and which in turn ends in the mixture collection container 3 in the upper part.
  • a pump 9 is arranged in this mixed beverage circulation line 8.
  • the injector 10 is connected via a line 13 to the water tank 2, the injector 11 is connected via a line 14 to a container 15 for finished syrup and the injector 12 is connected via a line 16 to a CO2 source.
  • These lines 13; 14; 16 are on the suction side of the injectors 10; 11; 12 arranged.
  • the lines 13 and 14 each have a flow measuring device 17 and 18.
  • a switchable throttle 19 and 20 and a shut-off valve 21 and 22 are each arranged in the lines 13 and 14.
  • a shut-off valve 23 is also present in line 16 to the CO2 source.
  • the line 16 begins in a post-carbonation and finished product collection container 24.
  • This post-carbonation and finished product collection container 24 is connected to the mixed beverage circulation line 8 through a ready-mixed line 25 which branches off from the mixed beverage circulation line 8 after the pump 9 and in which a shut-off valve 26 is installed.
  • the shut-off valve 26 is controlled by software. When the pump 9 is stopped, the shut-off valve is closed.
  • Minimum and maximum contacts 29 are present in the post-carbonation and finished product collecting container 24 and a product discharge line 30 is arranged in the bottom.
  • the mode of action is as follows: Mixed drink is in the mixture collecting container 3. This beverage is constantly circulated by the pump 9 via the beverage mixture circulation line 8. The beverage is therefore removed from the mixture collecting container 3 and fed back to it. It is continuously mixed and homogenized.
  • the beverage mixture circulation line 8 there are the injectors 10; 11; 12, which are connected on the suction side to the lines 13; 14; 16 for the individual components to be mixed or to a CO2 source 28.
  • the mixed beverage circulating stream is used as the driving jet for the injectors 10; 11; 12.
  • Only one pump 9 is provided for the circulation. Water as a larger component is supplied to the water tank 2 via the water supply line 5 with the valve 4 open.
  • the smaller components, in the example only one component, namely finished syrup, are located in the container 15.
  • the flow velocities of the individual components are reduced before the dosing setpoints are reached, ie it is drove in a slow speed.
  • the chokes 19, 20 are switched accordingly.
  • the shut-off valves 21, 22 are closed. This metering can be carried out in such a way that the circulation of the mixed beverage flow is carried out continuously and the metered addition of the components at intervals or the circulation is only carried out for one batch at a time.
  • the finished beverage is passed from the beverage mixture circulation line 8 via the ready-mix line 25 into a post-carbonation and finished product collecting container 24. It is collected there and, if desired, post-carbonized.
  • a further injector 27 is present in the ready-mix line 25, which is connected to the CO2 source 28.
  • the finished beverage is then fed via the product discharge line 30 to a filling machine, for example.
  • Software is used to produce a wide variety of beverages. This software controls the entire machine according to the desired data entered and the minimum and maximum contacts in the containers.
