Description
Used Syrup Room with Alfa Laval Pasteurizer This used syrup room is a complete processing unit designed for the preparation of concentrated base syrups and finished syrups for beverage production. Designed for upstream integration with a premix and isobaric filler, it supports efficient workflows for industrial packaging in a used bottling line. It is ideal for beverage production environments that require reliable sugar dissolution, heat treatment, and hygienic storage before blending, carbonation, and filling. The system covers the entire syrup preparation sequence: simple syrup creation from treated water and sugar, blending of the finished syrup with concentrates, acids, colorants, and flavorings, and hygienic storage in stainless steel tanks. A dedicated pasteurizer helps ensure product stability, while mixers and pumps support consistent, repeatable processing. This Syrup Room is perfect for formulating non-alcoholic beverages like cola, tonic, and other flavored carbonated drinks, and integrates seamlessly with pre-mix units that add CO2 just before the filling machine. The layout and selection of components make it a practical solution for upgrading or expanding a bottling line used in the beverage industry. Technical Specifications and Performance Data Sugar Dissolver: AICMA Pasteurizer: Alfa Laval Storage Tanks (Finished/Plain Syrup): 4 x 4,000 L Cavalzani Storage Tanks (Finished/Plain Syrup): 3 x 2,000 L Bertuzzi Mixers and Pumps: Included for circulation, transfer and mixing Process Materials: Treated water, sugars/sweeteners, fruit concentrates, flavorings, additives Construction: AISI 304/316 stainless steel process equipment Cleaning: CIP-ready design for in-place sanitary cleaning Advanced Automation and Control Systems The Syrup Room features a centralized control panel with analog/digital selectors for process management, allowing operators to supervise dissolving, heat treatment, storage and transfer operations. Dosing can be achieved through precision pumping and flow control to maintain recipe accuracy. The hygienic design, hygienic valves, and instrument connections support repeatability and quality. The configuration is suitable for integration with plant-level automation and recipe control, with clear operator interfaces that simplify service changeovers and routine adjustments, while supporting safe and reliable operation. Production line integration capabilities: This processing plant is designed to deliver finished syrup to a premix unit, where it is mixed with treated water and CO2 immediately prior to isobaric filling. It can be integrated inline with existing beverage production and industrial packaging equipment and is compatible with bottling lines that handle both PET and downstream glass bottling. Recipe-based operation supports multi-flavor portfolios, and transfer connections allow for direct connection to upstream water treatment and downstream premix and filling systems. Machine Condition and Maintenance History The Syrup Room is offered as a pre-owned processing plant in good working order and supplied as expected, ready for use in a properly prepared production environment. The high-quality components and stainless steel construction ensure long operational life and maintainability within beverage manufacturing facilities. Operational Performance and Versatility: Optimized for consistent syrup quality, the plant enables precise preparation of simple syrup and finished syrup for a variety of beverage recipes, including cola, tonic, and flavored CSD formulations. Heat treatment via an Alfa Laval pasteurizer improves product stability, while dedicated mixers and pumps ensure homogeneous mixing and reliable transfer. The hygienic tank farm provides buffered storage to stabilize line flow to the premixing and filling machine. Installation Requirements and Site Preparation: Installation requires adequate space for tank storage, sugar dissolver, pasteurizer skid, and control cabinet, as well as clear access for CIP connections and service points. Utilities typically include electricity, treated process water, hot water or steam for dissolving and heat treatment, cold water or cooling where applicable, and compressed air for valves and instrumentation. Proper hygienic drainage, pipe racks, and connections to water treatment, premix, and the filling room are recommended for efficient commissioning. Safety Standards and Compliance Certification: Process equipment is made of stainless steel and designed for food and beverage applications, with hygienic connections to support hygiene and cleanliness. The control panel provides operator protection with clear status indication and emergency shutdown capability. Protective welds, sanitary welds, and CIP-ready features align with good manufacturing practices for beverage plants, supporting safe operation and product quality in an industrial environment.
