WS’ philosophy is to manufacture high-quality and reliable equipment, equipped only with top brand components: ALFA LAVAL, ENDRESS+HAUSER, PALL, ANTON PAAR, SIEMENS, FESTO, SPIRAX SARCO are the typical components our 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 We reached a very high level of specialisation 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 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; 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.

In the beverage industry, the automatic washing of recycled bottles has now reached a high level of specialization. In this context, works AKOMAG, company located in Soragna (Parma), able to offer a varied production, which includes bottle washing machine, rinsing machine, sterilizers for glass or PET bottles, crate washer and accessories to complement. Very large is the choice of the washer, the potential of which obviously varies in base at the model, and the ranges it is from 100 to 60.000 bph. The modular structure of all installations allows to gradually increase the functions and the level of sophistication, including special washing sections and sanitizing, automatic control of process parameters, security systems, energy recovery, reduction of discharges and automatic sanitization of the parties most important from the point of view of hygiene. Start the washing At low production capacity, the range offer GENESI, available in very small dimensions in order to be inserted in any operating environment. Designed under the indication of the producers with low production capacities, the series has a simple but functional washing cycle, which lowers operating costs (water, energy, detergent) without negatively affecting cleaning bottles to recycle, the complete removal of the labels and their total evacuation outside. The particular ease of use and maintenance, increases productivity and reduces downtime. The modularity of the GENESI series allows at the customer to “build a machine to measure”, adapting it from time to time to different types of use (water, wine, oil, beer, soft drinks). Constructed in accordance with the Machinery Directive (EC), is equipped with all the accessories needed for the proper functioning: a heat exchanger built with stainless steel tubes arranged geometrically to prevent the deposit of mud or various precipitation
that would compromise the performance or, alternatively, a combustion chamber built with direct burner operation. Safety guards and dust cover to protect the unloading of bottles; grouped grease; saving valve for the water network and automatic control of the presence of water in the last rinsing station; electronic speed control; electronic security on the main gearbox that stop the machine in case of overload; spray pumps with casing and impeller made in stainless steel AISI 316 and protective filters; valves for emptying the waste paper and spray tanks; control panel adjustable, made in stainless steel; IP55 electrical plant; gauges and thermometers in visual range of the operator; setting and control of all the machine by “touch-screen”. This are the main amenities that characterize the series. The GENESI machine is also arranged for the introduction of detergent and liquid additives in the bath and in the detergent tank, disinfectants and other products in the spraying tanks. Internal spraying (made with self-cleaning rotating nozzles) and external high pressure spraying are easily removable for routine cleaning and maintenance. The loading and unloading of bottles is completely automatic, and perfectly synchronized with the movement of the main chain. Dry cycle To streamline the washing cycle, the company has realized the HYDRA series, a series of fully automatic machines which comprise a first station for emptying the bottles followed by prewashing spraying and first pre-maceration bath. This configuration helps to reduce the pollution of the detergent bath and reduce fuel consumption. The triple station for labels extracting ensures their complete detachment from used bottles, while the rotating filter displaced over the entire width of the machine ensures the evacuation outside. The bottle washing is complete with indoor and outdoor spraying, which occurs with high-pressure cleaner distributed with rotating nozzles self-cleaning and self-centering. To complete rinsing, however, ensure the phase abatement alkalinity followed by spraying with external and internal water network. Built according to the Machinery Directive (CE) also, the series has different predispositions that increase safety, including: sensors for slowing down and eventually stopping the machine in case of failure or obstruction of bottles on conveyor; detergent introduction and liquid additives in the bath and other products in spray tanks; the automatic loading and unloading of the bottles is perfectly synchronized with the movement of the main chain; the economizer valve for the water network and the automatic control of the presence of water on the last rinsing station.

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 postsale 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, yoghurt, 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 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.

TPI: Energy saving in CO2 recovery Tecno Project Industriale pays great attention to any new requirement of its customers and always tries to turn it into a technical update of its own plants. Settled in Curno (about 50 Km North-East of Milan), TPI has been working in the CO2 Food Grade industry for 30 years and has recently integrated into its CO2 Recovery
lines for breweries some equipment designed to achieve considerable energy saving and to reduce the running costs of the plants. The new CO2 recovery plants from fermentation are provided with the CombiCondensers liquefiers and the Energy Saving evaporator, equipment which enables to recover the frigoria released by
the liquefied CO2 stored in storage tanks when it is turned into gas to be used in bottling lines. As a matter of fact, nearly the 50% of the electric power consumed by a CO2 recovery plant is for the liquefaction unit. A TPI CombiCondenser enables a brewery - producing a million hl/y - to avoid consumption of about 300,000 kWh. These significant figures enable ROI on the short run. Similarly, a TPI’s Energy Saving evaporator enables to recover 0,1 kWh per hectoliter of beer produced since the frigoria recovered from CO2 evaporation are used in the glycol water cooling system of the factory (thus reducing power consumption of cooling compressors). In addition, these two pieces of equipment show a very important feature: they can be installed in already existent plants with a very low impact. Further recent news from TPI is a new architecture for plants up to 1000 Kg/h capacity, built in one single skid. A compact technical solution bringing two big advantages: first the possibility of testing and fine tuning the whole plant in the workshop before shipment and second a very short installation and commissioning phase, dropping installation costs and start-up time down to the minimum. TPI plants are running in all the largest breweries of the world producing Food Grade CO2 and granting top performances in terms of purity (99,99%) and unitary consumption of energy and cooling water. With over 30 years’ activity in the beverage market and more than 600 CO2 plants installed in 91 Countries, Tecno Project Industriale confirms its status of flagship brand in the sector of CO2 Recovery plants from fermentation and in CO2 production plants. If CO2 recovered from fermentation is not enough to satisfy the factory needs, TPI proposes plants for in-house production of carbon dioxide, from the flue gas of a boiler (natural gas or oil fueled). CO2 production plants by TPI offer three relevant benefits, without ever jeopardizing quality (also if the CO2 is Food Grade). The economic benefit is due to the saving possible with in-house production in comparison with the cost of CO2. The strategic benefit, not to be underestimated, is related to the continuous availability of the product, without any logistic problem of shortage in times of most demand. Not less important, the environmental benefit which regards the greenhouse emission reduction.

The Lees Stop filter and the other innovative solutions introduced by VLS Technologies at SIMEI 2015 At the latest SIMEI 2015, VLS Technologies introduced, together with other new solutions for liquid treatment, the “Lees Stop”, an innovative technological solution for filtering products with high content in solids: this solution was awarded with the prize ““SIMEI New Technology 2015”. We are talking about it with Mr. Jacopo Velo. Would you give us a brief overview on VLS Technologies? What I usually say to make people briefly understand who we are is that “VLS Technologies is the new technological partner for liquid processing…with a 30-year experience on it!” With that I mean that, from our perspective, it is possible to match both “innovation”/“freshness” and experience and, at the end of the day, this is what we try to do; even if our expertise dates back to 1985, we try every day to build innovative forms of partnership with our customers so to try to be a twentieth century Brand that acts on the global market with proposals that can have a deep effect on our customers’ productive processes so to make them
more efficient and improve performances. How have you evolved since 1985? Everything began with my father, Mr. Giovanni Velo, who set the bases of our company thanks to his creativity and experience in the sector. The production of housings and microfiltration plants started in 1987 already. The 90s were synonymous with strong worldwide commercial expansion both in EU and in extra-European countries and in 2002 the “second generation”, represented by me and my brother Tommaso, entered the company. I believe that now VLS represents the constant innovation in the sector; a company that, regardless of current economic conditions, made strong investments, doubling up the employers and acquiring solid competence in the sector of liquid processing. Important investments have been made in research and development during the last two years and the technical solutions introduced at the recent international exhibitions are proving it. What is new with the “Lees Stop”? The lees Stop is an “ad hoc” solution meant for filtering products with high content in solids that replaces the traditional polymeric membranes of the cross flow filters with sinterized stainless steel membranes. Sinterization is a thermal process to which stainless steel powders undergo. High temperatures “weld” these powders together by heating them below their melting point. Thanks to several tests, we have verified that this kind of material perfectly fits the cross flow filtration of difficult to treat products leading to products on the outlet with concentration up to 95% V/V. What are the advantages of this solution? Sintered Stainless Steel has a structure that guarantees high mechanical and chemical
resistance that translates to high resistance to pressure, thermal shocks, impacts and chemical washing with high PH. Therefore, a solution that lasts over time. The Lees Stop also allows the filtration of a broad range of products, from lees to industrial waste: in example, very good results have been achieved with producers of juices. If we take in consideration the knocking down of costs connected to disposal, the high quality of the filtrate, the full automation and the economical comeback from waste of the process, “Lees Stop” really represents the ultimate solution for who needs to filter efficiently and in innovative way products with and high content in solids. What other news have you introduced at SIMEI 2015? One of the most interesting news introduced at SIMEI 2015 is surely the UNICO filter. This filter is meant for small/medium producers who need to filter their products (wine and lees) with one solution only, obtaining a high-quality filtrate and with turbidity lower than to 1 NTU. For those reasons, VLS has created “UNICO”. Thanks to our filter it is possible to reach a perfect filtration of the product and shoot down the microbiological flora meanwhile saving the organoleptic characteristics or improving them sometimes. The filtering media that we are using can stand repeated regenerations with hot water and detergents and that means a long lifespan. All models come in the semi-automatic or automatic version. In the latter the PLC handles all the phases filling, filtration, cleaning - and constantly monitors all parameters without any need for the operator’s intervention. Thanks to the “touch” screen it is possible to set all phases, times and all the parameters necessary to the correctly operating of the machine.”
