WS is a company, founded in 2005, working as process equipment supplier for the beverage industry. During these years, WS has achieved a very good reputation in the beverage industry field, managing to cooperate with the major global players, such as Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, Nestlé Waters and Orangina-Schweppes, and with private investors installing new production facilities, quite often green fields, in emerging Countries.

WS has met new standards for product quality, energy saving and maximum plant output while complying with the strictest criteria for hygiene and safety.

All the devices are entirely conceived and designed to guarantee the best requirements in terms of microbiological, physicalchemical and organoleptic properties; the entire production process and software development are managed internally, as well as installations and commissionings which are carried out with WS’s own resources.

WS’ products for beverage industry are: • water purification plants (mechanical filtration, microfiltration, reverse osmosis, UV disinfection, sterilisation) designed according to the customer’s exigencies and the chemical analysis;

• sugar dissolving systems (single batch, double batch and continuous up to 35.000 l/h); • semiautomatic and automatic syrup rooms; • premix units; • flash pasteurising units; • ozone generators; • carbonating equipment (water, wine, beer, soft drinks); • in line syrup blending systems and ingredients mixing systems; • steam sterilisable microfiltering systems (juices, beer, wine); • mineralising equipment; • equipment for preparation of non-chemical bottles rinsing and disinfecting solutions (such as ozone) and chemical solutions preparing devices (peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, chlorine, etc.); • equipment for the preparation of sterile water;

Asiatic Edition 2019 / 2020 • Beverage Industry

• manual and automatic CIP systems.

Thanks to its skill and process expertise, today WS is widely present worldwide even with turnkey solutions including ancillary equipment (cooling equipment, boilers, etc.).

WS’ philosophy is to manufacture highquality and reliable equipment, equipped only with top brand components: Alfa Laval, Endress+Hauser, Pall, Anton Paar, Siemens, Festo, Spirax Sarco are the typical components customers will find on their plants.

The choice of providing only state-of-the-art solutions has brought us to be appointed as officially authorized integrator by Alfa Laval.

Between main technical references, WS can list the supply of two fruit juice tubular flash pasteurizers for aseptic filling to OranginaSchweppes in France; furthermore, it’s significant to point out that WS is included in NESTLÉ WATERS’ authorized suppliers list for water purification systems: recently an important contract for the supply of

a top-technology water treatment plant in the far East has been finalized.

Amongst last supplies (early 2016), WS also boasts a complete line for soft drinks production in Las Vegas – USA (Coca Cola co-packer): from water treatment to hot fill pasteurizer, through sugar syrup preparation and ingredients mixing, also including CIP equipment.

WS considers Customer Service one of the greatest keys to success: entire business, marketing, sales and profits depend on customers’ satisfaction so the after sales team is constantly trained to perform the simplest solution in the shortest possible time to support the customer’s business.

“BLENDSYSTEM M” Premix Unit The growing market’s confidence gained by process plants manufactured by WS, allowed a continuous development of blending technology for carbonated soft drinks (CSD) production to such an extent that it reached a very high level of specialisation

INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINES

.it

in manufacturing mass controlled blending systems, named BLENDSYSTEM M. BLENDSYSTEM M is a piece of equipment for preparing beverages, completely preassembled on a skid for an easy and quick shipment and installation, conceived mostly for the production of carbonated soft drinks (CSD), but also carbonated mineral water (CMW) and still water (charged with nitrogen in order to increase the mechanical resistance of the bottle). The required quantity of ingredients (water, syrup, and CO2) is carefully measured and dosed in an electronically controlled continuous process.

The whole system, realized to guarantee the highest qualitative standards and a qualitatively constant production, also running in conditions of considerable format change, is completely preassembled on stainless steel circular-section skid for an easy and efficacious cleaning. It usually includes the following subsystems: • inlet water deaeration: a vacuum pump removes incondensable gases; the pump is conceived to maintain the dissolved oxygen level below 1 ppm values; • carbon dioxide dosing (or nitrogen in case of still mineral water production): a modulating valve and a mass flow rate transmitter inject carbon dioxide in quantity that is proportional to water quantity loaded to the deaeration tank; the water flow rate is usually measured by a magnetic flow rate transmitter, which may be replaced with a mass flow rate transmitter in case water presents a very low electrical conductivity level. A special gas injecting and mixing system - specifically developed by WS performs a careful mixing with the water to be treated and, hence, best results in terms of product perlage; the carbon dioxide contents is maintained constant in the product receiving tank by a supervising software, which checks possible fluctuations in feeding water temperature and product buffer temperature; the effective dissolved carbon dioxide contents in the product is checked using a carbometric unit, installed in by-pass on the filling machine feeding line;

• syrup dosing and mixing: at first syrup is stored in a small buffer tank, whose atmosphere is modified and enriched with carbon dioxide in order to avoid oxidation occurrence. Syrup injection is made by a sanitary design modulating valve and a mass flow rate transmitter in a quantity which is proportional to the water amount fed from the deaeration tank; furthermore, using the mass flow rate transmitter, it is possible to check constantly the effective density of the inlet syrup and therefore to compensate immediately for the dosing and to stabilize the sugary concentration in the end-product within established bounds (usually ±0,05 °Bx). A specific

10

refractometer installed in by-pass on the filling machine feeding line, allows the constant check of the product and, if necessary, its adjustment; similarly, the instruments minimize waste of both syrup and product during transitory phases of production, such as start and stop.

Furthermore, customized solutions for product cooling are also available, depending on the environmental conditions of the system installation.

The supervising software loaded on the mass premix unit - BLENDSYSTEM M - is conceived to guarantee the best results in terms of dosing, offering at the same time an easy control by a friendly user interface;

Asiatic Edition 2019 / 2020 • Beverage Industry

this software enables on one hand to set the main production parameters and visualize their state graphically and on the other hand to set the statistics parameters (ca, cp e cpk) connected to that kind of production.

Using a more advanced version of this software, associated with specific instruments, it is also possible to control automatically saccharose inversion, so that the need of intervention by laboratory technicians is reduced.

The equipment is equipped with field buses (MPI, Profibus or Ethernet) for a complete integration in the bottling line and the control of production, cleaning and sanitizing processes.

The machine for the PepsiCo Group is a Hydra 8.2, characterised by very high production: 37,500 bottle/h. The new model, the pride of mechanical Made in Italy, reaches a mechanical efficiency equal to 99.4%, successfully exceeding the standards required by the customer in the contractual phase. With this new provision, Akomag confirms itself once again as world leader in the construction of glass bottle washers. The bottle washer has been specially designed in order to minimise the environmental impact, with particular attention to water and steam consumptions, and to the duration of the detergent bath.

The completely automated wash cycle includes an initial bottle-emptying station followed by a pre-wash spraying and first pre-soak bath that significantly reduces detergent bath pollution and markedly decreases consumption levels. In the presoak area the project also provides for the installation of a belt filter that allows to automatically remove the main impurities typical of recycled bottles (straws, paper, cigarette butts, for instance). The washing of bottles is completed with the internal and external high-pressure detergent wash sprays, using self-cleaning and self-centring rotating nozzles.

In designing Hydra 8.2, Akomag has focused on the final rinsing sprays using mains water. The expedients developed during the design stage have allowed to achieve extraordinary results. By installing a special valve with integrated flow meter on the mains pipe (controlled directly by the control panel), it is possible to detect the instantaneous and daily water consumption required for the proper washing of the bottles. With pride and satisfaction, Akomag technicians declare that thanks to the new design the new machine has a water

12

consumption equal to 0.098 litres per bottle. A lower value than rigidly imposed in contractual phase by the customer.

The supply is completed with many other technological innovations, including sensors for slowing down or stopping the machine in

Asiatic Edition 2019 / 2020 • Beverage Industry

case of missing or clogging of the bottles on the conveyor belts; synchronization systems of the bottle washer speed with that of the filling monobloc; control and introduction of detergent and additives in the washing bath and of sequestrants/ disinfectants in the spray tanks; self-cleaning filters in the tanks; automatic bottle loading and unloading, perfectly synchronized with the movement of the main chain.

Akomag is a flexible and dynamic company that bases its policy on customer satisfaction, the quality of its systems, its assistance services and technological innovation. For several years, Akomag has been working in the bottling sector and thanks to the proven experience developed in this field, it can guarantee its customers maximum yields, user-friendly operation and minimum operational costs, as well as long working life of its machines built with top-quality materials. From the province of Parma, Akomag aims to meet the needs of all those who are looking for high-quality products.

FBF Italia has designed and manufactured since 1987, high pressure homogenizers, positive displacement pumps, laboratory homogenizers, dosing systems and, thanks to the wide experience gained in this field, is now a key point-of-reference for plants manufacturers, suppliers of turnkey equipment and end-users in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical sectors.

On-going innovation, exacting experimentation of special materials, strict quality controls and endurance tests allow FBF Italia to guarantee maximum performance, durability, reliability and safety; its mission is to offer to all its customers not only excellent sale services but also continuous relationship with constant, direct post-

30

sale technical assistance; the target is to keep friendly relationship built on mutual evolution and innovation.

FBF Italia’s machines are suitable to process a lot of products and can be inserted into complete process/production, both in sanitary and aseptic design.

The main utilization fields of the company machineries are: • dairy industries (milk, cream, cheese, yogurt, caseinates, proteins, soya milk, etc.); • ice-cream industries; • food, processing, preserving and beverage industries (fruit juices, tomato sauces, oil, ketchup, eggs, vegetable greases, emulsions, concentrates, baby food, etc.);

• cosmetic, pharmaceutical, chemical and petrol-chemical industries (starch, cellulose, wax, colorants, beauty creams, tooth paste, detergents, disinfectants, emulsions, inks, latex, lotions, emulsifiers oils, pigments, proteins, resins, vitamins, etc.).

But what about the homogenizing principle? In order to permanently mix one or more substances in a liquid, a homogenizer must be used in such a way as to make it possible to micronize and disperse the suspended particles in the fluid, rendering it highly stable even during successive treatments and storage.

The product reaches the homogenizing valve at a low speed and at high

FBF Italia Srl Via Are, 2 43038 Sala Baganza (Parma) Italy Tel. +39 0521 54 82 11 Fax +39 0521 83 51 79 info@fbfitalia.it www.fbfitalia.it

pressure. As it passes through the valve, it is subject to various forces that cause the micronization of the particles: violent acceleration followed by immediate deceleration causes cavitation with explosion of the globules, intense turbulence together with high-frequency vibrations, impact deriving from the laminar passage between the homogenizing valve surfaces and consequent collision with impact ring.

Homogenization can occur with the use of a single stage homogenizing valve (suitable for dispersion treatment), or double stage homogenizing valve (recommended for use with emulsions and for viscosity control when requested).

FBF Italia’s range of machines can be commonly classified as follows: • high pressure homogenizers: The homogenizer is often necessary to mix one or more substances within a liquid. This machine allows micronizing and scattering the particles suspended in the fluid, so that the product becomes highly stable, no matter the followings treatments and storage the product may undergo. The “Buffalo Series” homogenizers are manufactured according to the UE directives and are available with capacity ranging from 50 up to 50.000 litres/hour; according to the products to be processed, the requested pressure may vary up to 2.000 bars (29.000 psi) • positive displacement pumps: these pumps are used to transfer the products from a storage system or process one to a further part of the plant at a high pressure.

These machines are commonly used for feeding of spray driers, tomato paste plants, osmosis plants, etc.

• laboratory homogenizers: manufactured to replicate the same homogenization conditions that can be expected in a real production process these machines offer the possibility to execute tests up to very high pressure (1500 bar) and do not need of any other device to work. Easy to use and to move, with the highest reliability, is the best choice for keeping the production always under control.

• positive displacement pumps for product containing particles: these pumps are mainly used for product containing particles with a max. sizes of 15x15x15 mm such as tomato cubes, vegetable or fruit pieces. The construction of such a machine is much the same as the homogenizers, except for the compression head which is equipped with special pneumatically controlled valve groups.

Mixers in the beverages industry Why should we use GREC mixers in tanks and autoclaves for oenology products? Just because all the major Italian producers have been doing so for decades, and sometimes they are even unaware of this because, after being installed, the GREC mixers haven’t caused any problem.

Featuring simple construction and ample size, the machine is therefore highly reliable.

Owing to its extensive experience, GREC knows every application and provides the right movement inside the tank, regardless of its shape.

GREC has successfully settled any problem deriving from the fact that in recent years autoclaves have been built taller, thus the distance between the machine on the floor and the farthest point to mix is now considerably longer. GREC has done such by decreasing the power applied to the liquid, thus reducing any risk of excessive product mixing.

GREC has provided very important information, such as inclination and maximum length of the tank outlet, in such a way as to help designers as much as possible. It has also proposed different size solutions. The electric motor can be upright, downward or sideward.

Each solution has been studied to cope with ever smaller room in today’s cellars.

GREC has also paid attention to the new safety norms for production facilities and difficulty to get into the tank for maintenance operations. That is why it has developed specific solutions tailored to tank size.

In conclusion, for particularly wet environments, it is possible to operate surface treatments or use special materials to guarantee that GREC mixers remain nice to the eye for long.

Ask GREC to know if it is possible, and how much it will cost, to improve a special situation; on the other hand, if you need new tanks, the company will be able to select the best machine to your requirements.

GREC needs to know tank diameter, top height of the liquid inside the tank, construction material and finishing requested, other information on viscosity, density and solid content.

GREC always suggests that powders and crystals are dissolved in a separate small tank, by means of vertical mixers, which may be fast or slow depending on the product to be mixed or the shape of the tank.

Siat Spa Via G. Puecher, 22 22078 Turate (Como) Italy Tel. +39 02 96495389 siat@siat.com www.siat.com www.maillis.com

SIAT is the well-known brand of strapping hand tools, s/a wrappers and case handling machines, part of the Maillis Group.

With its completely made in Italy production, using only highquality level components aims to design and supply high-tech equipment, auxiliary material and industrial packaging services in the application of adhesive tape, wrapping and strapping, proposing technical solutions for cost optimization, maximizing safety, performance, creating shared added value at the service of our partners.

Whit its experience in several applications and thousands of customers worldwide, Siat will help you optimize your packaging line, catalyzing all the know-how acquired over the years. To define best-in-class solution for a specific industry, it is fundamental to consider its specific requirements, in terms of loading: wine industry will have its own. First critic aspect is the timing: the complete wine production process is shrunk in a short period when all its equipment must work hard and efficiently, without downtime and issues. From recent researches emerged that the most expensive activities for wineries are bottling and packaging. Siat can provide the right solution in order to reduce and optimize the packaging for each company, from the biggest to the smallest, ensuring the right protection of the load that commonly is quite expensive.

Thanks to its expertise and application-driven approach, Siat team can lead its partners to their best solution, working with the customers in order to give them reliable and complete packaging line, and services to face everyday challenges. Siat can offer different packaging solutions based on required customer needs and effective packaging line usage: For small/medium companies with a production volume lower than 200,000 bottles/year, machines can support operators guaranteeing a safer sealing of boxes and wrapping of loads.

The most suitable configuration that we suggest a line made by: SIAT semi-automatic Case Erector F105 folds the bottom flaps of boxes inserted into the machine by an operator, realizing a time saving of 50% compare with a manual operation. The box with the bottom flaps folded remains in vertical position for filling operation after which it could be pushed through a pneumatic cylinder in a “fixed format” case sealer machine for sealing with adhesive tape.

Siat Semi-automatic case sealer SK20, with double top and bottom drive belts, allows to control the carton box also during the incoming process before sealing it. Thanks to the robust “H” frame dual masts and the premium quality components, machine Configuration for small/medium companies

is extremely reliable. Due to flexible adjustments, SK20 is the perfect choice for industries where the height of the box is bigger than its width (as winery is).

SIAT semi-automatic stretch wrapping machine OneWrap is designed according to the highest safety standards and it can improve customer productivity thanks to the automatic operating mode (up to 25 pallets/h). The sturdy structure (up to 2.4 tons payload!) increases the service life of the machine. The userfriendly control panel, is easy to use and able to manage the different customer scenarios in terms of lay on force, ensuring perfect load stability. It can be equipped with powered pre-stretch carriages.

For big companies with a high production volume of more than 200,000 bottles/year, where the operator manages only the filling of the box with bottles, Siat experience suggests using the line made by: Siat automatic Case Erector F344 is designed to form and seal with adhesive tape boxes on the bottom part. The machine can process up to 1100 boxes/hour according to box dimensions. Machine adjustments are simple and fast: the setting can be done in few minutes. It is available in different versions, designed for small boxes (model F344/4) and bigger carton sizes (models F345 and F346).

Siat automatic Case sealer SM11 has manual adjustment so it’s perfectly suitable to be inserted in an automatic high-speed production line where required changes are relatively few, served by our automatic case erector. The machine is designed to automatically apply a “C” shape strip of adhesive tape to the top and bottom of boxes. Adjustments and use of the SM11 case sealer are intuitive, simple and fast.

The markets of wine, beer, spirits, juices and soft drinks are constantly evolving, and the technological solutions adopted for the filtration of liquids must keep up with innovation and growth.

VLS Technologies represents worldwide a single reference point for the client for both the aspect of filtration and more complex needs that involve the whole process of liquid treatment: that is made possible by the production plant in San Zenone degli Ezzelini in the Province of Treviso, northeast Italy, as well as by an established worldwide network of agents, authorized reselling and assistance.

In addition to traditional applications, as sheet filters or pressure leaf filters, the focus of VLS Technologies is the development of innovative solutions as cross-flow filtration systems and reverse osmosis.

Innovative technologies guarantee a number of advantages. For example, in cross-flow filtration the liquid is pushed by means of pressure through the particular pores of a membrane: thanks to this system the clients are able to improve the obtained quantity of product, decreasing energy consumption and production costs, for example avoiding the usage of clarifiers and adjuvants.

Among technologies based on cross-flow filtration, the most valued are Unico and Lees-stop.

Unico Filter Unico filter is a solution designed for small/ medium manufacturers that need to filter their products (wines and lees) with a single solution, obtaining a filtered product of

60

excellent quality with a turbidity below 1 NTU. That is why VLS Technologies has created Unico filtration system: thanks to our filter it becomes possible getting a good filtration of the product and reducing the microbiological flora; all of this by saving all the organoleptic characteristics of the product. The filtering media can stand repeated regenerations with warm water and detergents: this means a longer lifespan. Unico won the “Innovation Challenge Lucio Mastroberardino” at SIMEI Drinktec 2017.

Lees Stop Lees -Stop Filter enables to free users from the daily use of rotary drum vacuum filters and offers an automatic, economical filtration without using earth. The filtered wine is perfectly brilliant and clear (< 1 NTU). It can directly be added into the

Asiatic Edition 2019 / 2020 • Beverage Industry

filtered batch without undergoing any additional treatment (fining and filtration).

The recovery, depending on the load of the filtered products, is higher than the one obtained with rotary drum vacuum filters.

In addition, the filtered product is of better quality (analytic parameters are maintained, and wine is in a “pre-bottling” quality).

This cross-flow filter specifically dedicated to the treatment of “tank bottoms” is equipped with a stainless steel membrane with a selectivity adapted to very clogging products such as fining lees (bentonite, …) and centrifuge sludge. This membrane has the characteristics to be long lasting and resistant to pressure, temperature and chemical products. Those features are as many assets for the reliability of the filtration and the capacity of regeneration of the membranes. “Tank bottoms” are filtered through a series of 2 to 8 membranes of 7.5 m² each. Lees – Stop Filter exists with 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 membranes. Clogging is contained on the surface of the membrane which allows for more consistent removal of solids from filterable area, thus allowing for longer, more productive filter cycles.

The filter is more productive than a classical rotary drum vacuum filter, and will not lose quality or alcohol. Moreover, residues, still containing alcohol, can easily be valorized in a distillery.

VLS Technologies, thanks to its 35-year experience in the market, can guarantee a dynamic and flexible approach, realizing long-term partnerships with both medium and small production companies as well as with major brands worldwide. www.vlstechnologies.it
