Beverages — soft drinks
Soft drink
sugar handling.
Behind every bottling line is a syrup room, and behind that a sugar system moving tonnes per hour from silo to dissolver.
In brief
Soft drink production's powder problem is bulk sugar: tanker or bulk-bag intake, silo storage, and conveying to syrup-room dissolvers at line rates. TLG builds sugar systems with moisture-protected storage, contained transfer and the dust-zone compliance sugar demands.
The powder problem
Process requirements.
Sugar sounds simple until scale: it cakes with humidity, abrades what it touches, and its dust is combustible. Silo storage with conditioned air, dense-phase transfer to protect crystal and pipework, and zoned, extracted transfer points make tonnes-per-hour routine.
- Intake
- Tanker and bulk-bag sugar receival
- Storage
- Silos with moisture-managed air
- Transfer
- Dense-phase to dissolvers at line rate
- Compliance
- Sugar dust zoning and extraction
The process — stage by stage
The soft drink line, stage by stage.
Every stage below is equipment TLG designs and builds — follow any of them into the solutions range.
- 01
Raw material intake
Sacks and bulk bags enter the line contained — dust captured at the tip point, foreign objects screened out.
- 02
Raw material & finished goods storage
Silos with discharge engineered to the powder's measured flow properties — storage that empties reliably.
- 03
Automated batching
Every ingredient weighed to recipe on isolated load cells, majors to minors, with the batch record generated automatically.
- 04
Foreign material removal
Magnets hold ferrous wear metal; check-sieves reject oversize — placed where HACCP analysis puts them.
- 05
Dissolver feeding
Continuous or batch delivery of powders into liquid processing, at the rate the dissolver can wet.
- 06
Dust extraction
Capture at every transfer point, ducted to reverse-jet filtration — hygiene, compliance and recovered product.
- 07
Automation & controls
One control system sequencing the whole line — recipes, interlocks and records included.
