Plant type: CIP station (cleaning in place)
Engineered with Step7 S7315-2DP, HMI WinCC flex panel TP 270 10“
CIP station is used to clean process units in the Food & Beverages, Chemical and
Pharma Industries.
In the software we use SFC (sequential function charts) and some PID Loops. Main
purpose is to make a flexible and user friendly environment. The operator is able to create
own recipes according to the technological requirement. Further the operator can define his
own recipe sequence by influencing every process object (motor, valve, control loop) and all
other plant parameters and Boolean logic. The number of steps is unlimited and can be
easily edited in the Recipe Matrix Editor on the HMI and saved on the MMC card on the HMI
panel.

Plant type: EVAPORATING PLANT
Engineered with Step7 S7315-2DP, HMI WinCC flex panel TP 270 10“
Evaporating plants have a broad application in food and chemical industry. They are used for
evaporating of fruit juices, milk etc. Evaporating plant has 5 evaporation stages trough which juice
flows which will be evaporated (to reduce the amount of water) from 20Bx to 64Bx. In the first stage
juice comes with approximately 20Bx, in this stage in the system also steam arrives. After that juice in
free fall comes to the bottom of the first stage and then moving on the top of the second column
(stage). The steam from the first stage goes to the second stage. In the second stage steam
temperature is less (temperature profile from the first to the last stage is in levels of 15°C). In total
there are 5 evaporation columns. The main challenge is to control the temperature (with steam-huge
time lag) and the flow rate to get the right value of Bx. For example temperature change of 1°C on
the first stage will change the amount of Bx in about 90 sec. Additional product which can be caught
in the process of evaporation is aroma. In the second stage also the aroma of juice is evaporating and
can be caught with the vacuum system into the aroma tank where it will be cooled down in to a fluid
state.

Plant type: PIPE AND TUNNEL PASTEURIZER
Engineered with Step7 S7315-2DP, HMI WinCC flex panel TP 170 10“
Pasteurizers are used for beverage pasteurization (giving pasteurization units to different
product types). The main task is keeping a constant temperature of pasteurization thru the
disturbance in the steam system and other disturbances like unwanted plant stops or jams on the
pasteurizer or other equipment. Pasteurization goes through some steps and the main challenge is to
keep same quality of the end product.

Plant type: FLAVOURMIX with or without pasteurizer
Engineered with Step7 S7315-2DP, HMI WinCC flex panel TP 270 8“
Flavour mix is used for mixing mountain spring water with syrup concentrate. Input syrup
concentration is approximately 65Bx and mixing with water we like to have a concentration of
approximately 3Bx. With the dosing pump we add K-sorbidum (preservative) in the mixture of water
and syrup. The Flavour Mix device has 5 modules:
1. Deaeration (using vacuum for taking out the oxygen),
2. Preparing K-sorbidum and inline dosing of his preservative
3. Syrup Unit
4. Mixing Unit (main part of the Flavour Mix)
5. Pasteurizer where the beverage will be pasteurized and cooled down to room temperature
Main challenge is to keep constant ratio of water and syrup due to some pressure changes in the
water or syrup pipe. Keeping constant ratio will guarantee a stable quality of the juice without any
huge deviations in the Bx. Also the start-up ramp of both pumps (water and syrup) will guarantee a
small deviation of required Bx during the first minute of running the Unit without throwing out to
much waste Juice into the drain.
