- at least one preferably flavor-forming additive component e.g., syrup
- the mixed beverage is a carbonated beverage
- carbonation and buffering of the mixed beverage with CO 2 gas also take place until it is filled into containers or bottles.
- the preparation of such mixed products takes place in multi-component mixing plants, which are often referred to as a mixer.
- the degassing of the at least one base component can be carried out in different ways, for example by a single or multi-stage vacuum degassing and / or by a single or multi-stage pressure degassing.
- vacuum degassing the partial pressure gradient, which is necessary for the release of foreign gases dissolved in the at least one base component, is achieved by vacuum or pressure reduction.
- pressure degassing the delivery of the Foreign gases from the respective base component obtained by diffusion into an oxygen and / or nitrogen-free carrier gas, eg C02 gas.
- the mixing of the base component with the at least one additive component (e.g., syrup) to the finished or mixed product has heretofore been governed by a ratio control, i. by controlling the volume flows of the base component and the additional component to one setpoint in each case. Both setpoints are set in relation to the preselected or desired recipe.
- a ratio control i. by controlling the volume flows of the base component and the additional component to one setpoint in each case. Both setpoints are set in relation to the preselected or desired recipe.
- the carbonization or metering of the CO 2 gas also takes place in known processes and mixing plants via a ratio metering or via spray carbonization.
- the mixed product is sprayed into a container pressurized with CO 2 gas.
- the gas pressure is according to the u.a. set by the dosing rate and the temperature-dependent saturation pressure.
- the CO 2 gas dissolves in the mixed product until a balance is achieved between the pressure of the CO 2 gas atmosphere and the CO 2 gas partial pressure or saturation pressure of the carbonated mixed beverage.
- the carbonated mixed product or mixed beverage produced with the mixing plant is usually filled into containers or bottles with the aid of a filler.
- the latter like the mixing plant, is part of a complete filling line. Due to disturbances in the environment and / or in the system and / or due to disruptions of the packaging material (eg bottle breakage, etc.), stops or reduced performance often occur.
- known systems for uncoupling or buffering between mixing plant and filler require a buffer tank or tank which in known mixing plants has a relatively large volume, for example a volume up to 1000 liters got to.
- Such buffer tanks are usually operated with a highly fluctuating level, so that the mixed product must be superimposed in the buffer tank with a C02 gas cushion, the pressure of which is higher than the CO 2 saturation pressure in the mixed product.
- the level changes, it is necessary to add or remove the CO2 gas in the respective buffer tank, which leads to a high consumption of CO 2 gas.

- the metered addition of the at least one additional component in the mixing chamber can be carried out continuously or intermittently or batchwise.
- the mixing chamber also forms the buffer memory, from which the mixed product is fed to the following in the overall systems filler. Since continuous operation is not required for mixing, the mixing space and thus also the reduced volume buffer or buffer tank formed by this mixing space can be carried out, for example with a volume of only 100 liters at a nominal capacity of the apparatus or mixing plant of 30 m 3 / h. Alone by the reduced volume of serving as a buffer tank mixing space results in a significant reduction in the size of the mixing plant according to the invention or apparatus for producing mixed products.

- the line 10 is connected via a control valve 12 to a source, not shown, which provides the CO2 gas under pressure.
- the control valve 12 is controlled so that the gas pressure within the functional container 2 and in particular also within the functional spaces 2.1 and 2.2 corresponds to the CO2 concentration in the produced mixed product, namely u.a. also taking into account further parameters, e.g. the temperature of the mixed product, dosage or recipe of the mixed product, etc.
- control valve 12 is u.a. taking into account measurement signals which provide pressure sensors 12.1 provided on the functional spaces 2.1 and 2.2 and / or provided temperature sensors 12.2, controlled so that the CO 2 pressure in the functional tank 2 is set so high that the desired CO 2 content in the mixed product is achieved It should be remembered that adding the CO2-free syrup will reduce the CO2 content in the finished product.
- the output or the pressure side of a pump 13 is connected in the flow direction of the CO2 gas to the control valve 12, which is connected to its input via a line 14 to the subspace 2.2.1.
- the additional component serving as a mixing chamber and at the same time as a buffer memory functional space 2.3 is connected to a line 15, in which inter alia, controlled by a suitable meter, for example by a flow meter 16 metering valve 17 and a pump to lead the additional component are provided under pressure.

- MID magneto-inductive flow meter
- a density measurement is preferably integrated into the flowmeter 16, so that a dosage is possible which is, inter alia, independent of temperature and / or pressure or at least largely temperature and / or pressure independent.
- the meter may, however, also be, for example, a mass flow meter (MDM), by which, although not directly the volume flow can be measured, but by which the mass flow, the density and the temperature can be determined.
- MDM mass flow meter
- vent tank 19 vent lantern
- the input of the pump 18 is connected via a vent tank 19 (vent lantern) to a source, not shown, for providing the additional component.
- the vent tank 19 is vented via a vent valve assembly 20, so that this container is then completely filled with the additional component and thus in particular a buffering of the additional component in the vent tank 9 by a pressurized inert gas buffer, such as C02 gas buffer is not necessary, which contributes significantly to the reduction of the inert gas or CO 2 gas consumption.
- a pressurized inert gas buffer such as C02 gas buffer
- a product line 21 with pump 22 and flow meter 23 is connected, via the (product line) the device 1 with a filling machine, not shown, for filling bottles or other containers associated with the mixed product.

- the operation of the device 1 can be described as follows:
- the functional space 2.1 takes place, as already stated, the degassing and at the same time at least partially carbonizing the base component with. For example, 80-90% of the CO 2 concentration of the mixed product.
- the functional space 2.1 is also subjected to the required CO 2 gas pressure for this, controlled by the control valve 12.
- the base component is sprayed upward in the direction of the ceiling or in the direction of the upper boundary of the functional space 2 and then rains back onto the bottom of the functional space 2.1 formed by the partition wall 3.
- a pressure degassing of the base component takes place by diffusion and at the same time also the carbonization of the base component. This is in equilibrium with the CO 2 gas pressure in the functional space 2.1 (CO 2 pressure equal to the saturation pressure).
- the height of the functional space is used twice, resulting in an extension of the residence time of the sprayed base component in the functional space 2.1 and also to an increase in the Exchange surface between the base component and the C02 gas in the functional space 2.1 leads.
- the foreign gas content in the base component is still about 10% or less after the treatment.
- the degassed and carbonized base component builds up on the partition wall 3 and then passes through the openings partition wall section 3.1 in the func- tion room 2.2, in the local subspace 2.2 arranged below the partition wall section 3.1.
- at least one control valve 9 controlling filling level sensor 9.1 is provided, for example, from a Min / max probe is formed and controls the liquid level in the subspace 2.2.1 such that the level of this liquid level is constantly well below the upper edge of the overflow weir 6.
- the base component from the subspace 2.2.1 is constantly conveyed via the line 10 to the arranged above the subspace 2.2 nozzle 1 1, ie the subspace 2.2 .2 and thus the inlet to the functional space 2.3 are constantly overflowed with the base component.

- the greater part of the CO 2 gas which has passed into the functional space 2.1 via the dividing wall section 3.1 is used in the manner described above for degassing and simultaneous carbonization of the base components discharged from the nozzles 7.
- This C02 gas is discharged via a valve arrangement provided on the upper side of the functional container 2 or the functional space 2.1 - which is also referred to in practice as Fremdgasabschnüffelung 25, and indeed for discharging the removed from the base component defective gases.
- the functional space 2.3 is always completely filled with the mixed product, in such a way that the liquid from the subspace 2.3 is present through the passage 5 in the subspace 2.2.2 up to the upper edge of the overflow weir 6.
- the additional component is supplied via the metering valve 17 controlled by the flow meter 16 continuously or intermittently or batchwise, depending on the amount of the mixed product taken from the functional space 2.3 and the filler via the product line 21, i. as a function of the measuring signal of the flow meter 23 and as a function of the required dosage of the additional component in the mixed product.
- the dosage of the additional component is thus ultimately in response to the amount of mixed product taken from the device 1 via the product line 21.
- serving as a mixing chamber and buffer memory function space 2.3 is constantly filled with the base component, and in fact that at least the greater part of emerging from the at least one nozzle 1 1 basic component reaches the top of the subspace 2.2.2. If the liquid level in the subspace 2.2.2 has dropped below the level of the upper edge of the overflow weir 6 and thus refilling of the subspace 2.3 with the base component is necessary, the base component which has reached the subspace 2.2.2 passes via the passage 5 into the subspace 2.3.
- the base component discharged from the nozzle 1 1 flows back over the edge of the overflow weir 6 into the subspace 2.1 .1.
- a direct mixing of the basic component recorded in subspace 2.2.1 with the component in subspace 2.2.2 or with the mixed product in subspace 2.3 is avoided by the partition wall 4 with the overflow weir 6.
- the pump 13 has a delivery rate V13, which is greater than the delivery rate V22 of the pump 22. Regardless of the operating condition of the Pump 22, the flow rate V 3 of the pump 13 in any case greater than the maximum flow rate V22 of the pump 22.
- V13 the delivery rate of the subspace 2.2.2 and the overflow weir 6
- the subspace 2.3 is constantly a constant Has filling level and the base component removed with the finished mix on the product line 21 is constantly replaced immediately.
- Advantages of the device 1 according to the invention include u.a. in their compact design, in the particularly simple control of the dosage of at least one additional component and in particular in a reduced consumption of CO 2 gas.
- the entire mixing plant is summarized, for example, in a single functional container.
- the functional space 2.3 forms both the mixing tank and the buffer tank.
- the inventive type of control or regulation of the metering is within the apparatus 1 for the correct functioning of the mixing plant - in contrast to the prior art - a continuous volume flow not required lent, so that in contrast to known mixing plants, a large-volume buffer tank to ensure a continuous Operation of the mixing plant is not required even in a stop / go operation of the filling machine.
- a rated power of the device 1 of 30 m 3 / h is a volume of only 100 I for the serving as a buffer memory space 2.3 is fully sufficient, which contributes to a significant reduction in the construction volume of the device 1, in particular also taking into account It is a fact that known systems require buffer storages with a much larger volume.
- a further advantage of the invention consists in the fact that, as a result of the described design and control of the device 1, the mixing vessel and buffer reservoir
- At least one additional component in this functional space e.g. Fade dosages, for example due to a faulty concentration of the additional component, etc. compensate.
- the degassing and carbonization of the base component in more than one stage, for example, in the form that in the common functional container 2 a plurality of the functional space 2.1 corresponding functional spaces are provided, namely in terms of their function cascade successively such, i0 that the degassed in a first functional space and at least partially carbonated base component is further degassed in a further functional space and nachkarbonIFF etc.
- at least the degassing possibly also the degassing and Vorkarbonmaschine make the base component in an additional system.
- the mixing plant or device according to the invention can also be designed for admixing two or more than two, even different additional components to at least one base component, but all versions are preferred in common that the dosage of at least one additional liquid component to at least one ßasiskomponente in dependence from the withdrawn amount of the mixed product.
- Another essential advantage of the method according to the invention is that it is no longer necessary to prepare the mixed product according to its manufacture. with a CO2 gas cushion, the pressure of which is higher than the CO 2 saturation pressure in the mixed product. This is due to the now made possible, continuously producing the mixed product even with fluctuating amount per unit time, whereby a buffering in a buffer tank is unnecessary. By this procedure according to the invention, the consumption of CO 2 gas is considerably reduced.
