Continuous in-line blending systems are mainly used to blend the finished
beer. With the DICON™-B, liquid components are mixed in the pipeline already in
a constant ratio. Digitally working controllers keep the mixing ratio constant
even in case of a deviating flow rate. The DICON™-B can directly feed the
filler.
In principle, the DICON™-B is able to blend as many components
as required, limited only by expenditure and price of the system. The
construction of the DICON™-B mainly consists of the main pipeline, from which
the components to be dosed are fed, the dosing sections with feeding pumps and
deaeration tanks and, of course, the metering technology to ensure the exact
mixing of all components. The quality of the flow meters directly influences
the mixing accuracy of the DICON™-B
Mixers (static or dynamic) are
integrated into the system for a homogenous blending of products with different
or high viscosities. A mixer is not required if a good blending is ensured by
down-stream pumps.
The construction of the continuous in-line blending
system, with its short pipelines, guarantees that product losses are reduced to
a minimum.
Special features:
• Mixing in the
pipeline (low space required)
• High mixing accuracy by using precise flow
meters
• Digitally working controller (without remaining deviations)
•
Low product quantities remaining in the system
• Systems available for very
low and very high capacities
• Large range of ratios (1:10)
Variations in continuous in-line blending:
•
Continuous in-line blending system DICON™-B, used in breweries for original
gravity adjustment (HGB procedure)
• Yeast pitching
