QHS Series Carbon Mixer

Beverage Pretreatment

Carbonating mixer is the equipment to mix sugar syrup, water and carbon dioxide. The product water is degassed and mixed with the syrup in a fixed proportion, cooled to the process temperature through a plate heat exchanger, and then fully mixed with carbon dioxide to complete carbonation.

QHS Series Carbon Mixer Introduction:

The carbon mixer is an advanced inline mixing system engineered to precisely blend syrup, treated water and carbon dioxide (CO₂) into a uniform, fully carbonated beverage in a single continuous process. The product water is degassed and mixed with the syrup in a fixed proportion, cooled to the process temperature through a plate heat exchanger, and then fully mixed with carbon dioxide to complete carbonation.

Using mass flow meters or ratio-based control, the CO2 beverage drink mixer system accurately doses syrup and purified water into a static or dynamic mixing chamber. Liquid CO₂ is then injected under controlled pressure and temperature conditions, where it rapidly dissolves into the liquid stream. The mixture passes through a contact tank or carbonator to ensure complete saturation before being sent directly to the filler.

Carbon Mixer System Features:

Precise Ratio Control: Digital or PLC-based systems maintain exact syrup:water:CO₂ ratios for flavor consistency.
High CO₂ Solubility: Optimized pressure/temperature management ensures stable carbonation (typically 2.5–4.5 volumes of CO₂).
Inline Continuous Mixing: Eliminates batch tanks—reducing footprint, cleaning time, and product waste.
Hygienic Design: 3-A or food-grade stainless steel (SS304/SS316) construction with CIP (Clean-in-Place) compatibility.
Real-Time Monitoring: Integrated sensors for pressure, temperature, flow rate and Brix level.
Energy Efficient: Low-pressure CO₂ consumption with optional recovery systems.
Scalable Capacity: From 500 BPH (bottles per hour) to 30,000+ BPH for small startups to large-scale lines.

CO2 Beverage Drink Mixer System FAQ:

Q: How does the system ensure consistent carbonation and flavor?

A: The system uses mass flow meters or ratio-based controls to maintain exact syrup-to-water ratios, while CO₂ injection is regulated by pressure, temperature, and flow sensors. Advanced models include real-time Brix monitoring and automatic correction to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency.

Q: What types of beverages can it produce?

A: This system is suitable for:

Carbonated soft drinks (CSD);
Sparkling flavored or unflavored water;
Energy drinks;
Carbonated juices;
Low- or no-sugar sodas;
Private-label carbonated beverages;

Note: Non-carbonated drinks typically require a separate non-carbonated mixing line.

Q: Does it require a batch tank?

A: No. Most modern CO₂ mixer systems are inline/continuous, meaning they blend and carbonate the beverage just before filling—eliminating the need for large batch tanks. This reduces cleaning time, minimizes product loss, and improves hygiene.

Q: How is CO₂ consumption controlled?

A: CO₂ dosage is automatically adjusted based on:

Desired carbonation level (e.g., 2.8 volumes for colas, 4.0 for sparkling water);
Beverage temperature and pressure;
Flow rate of the liquid stream;
Advanced systems include CO₂ flow meters and loss-detection alarms to minimize waste.

Q: Can I switch between different drink recipes quickly?

A: Absolutely. Systems with HMI touchscreen controls allow you to store multiple recipes (syrup ratio, CO₂ level, etc.) and switch between them in seconds—ideal for multi-product lines.
