In FIG. 3, carbon dioxide gas (CO 2 ) purged from the carbon dioxide tank 21 having an integral structure is supplied into the degassing tank 24 through the pipes 22 and 23 and the regulator 19.
The inside of the degassing tank 24 is always in a carbon dioxide gas atmosphere. The treated water becomes a jet flow by the jet nozzle 5 and is violently struck on the liquid surface in the degassing tank 24 to generate bubbles in the liquid and replace the air in the treated water with carbon dioxide gas. The expelled air passes through the purge pipe 17, and is continuously discharged from the continuous gas purger 18 to the atmosphere together with the carbon dioxide gas in the degassing tank 24. The pressure inside the degassing tank 24 is controlled to a predetermined pressure by the regulator 19. The treated water from which air has been removed and carbon dioxide has been absorbed is sent to the proportioner 6 by a water pump,
There it is continuously mixed with the syrup in a constant ratio. The continuously mixed liquid is sent to the plate cooler 9 via the pipe switching board (multiway) 7, cooled by cold water or brain, and sent to the carbonator tank 21. The inside of the carbonator tank 21 is maintained at a predetermined constant pressure by the pressure controller 14 and the pressure regulating valve 16. The liquid sent into the carbonator tank 21 is the water distribution nozzle 20.
Water is distributed to the inside of the carbonator tank 21 by which a thin film is formed and absorbs carbon dioxide while flowing down. Then, the solution is stored in the lower part of the carbonator tank 21, and is sent to a bottle filling machine or a canning machine (not shown) by the carbon dioxide pressure in the tank or the pump 13. Next, in the case of a soft drink manufacturing process that does not contain carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide is not supplied from the carbonator tank 21 to the degassing tank 24, and the vacuum pump 1 keeps the inside of the degassing tank 24 at a high degree of vacuum. Degas and mix with syrup in the same manner as before. Then, it is sent to another device such as a sterilizing device (not shown) from a pipe switching board (multiway) 7 at the exit of the proportioner 6.
