China filling machine still take effort

As everyone knows that  at present, the way to produce the tea drinks is hot filling production process. Tea and juice hot filling machine of the filling equipments can keep their tea original nutrients and flavor to maximize, but also greatly reduce the production cost, having good benefits and development prospects. If the drink with this process, then it can be more likely to color and flavor retention, the hot filling process can be prepared to the advantages.

In industries different processing equipments are used for filling and sealing various types of products. The various types of filling machine are used according to the specific needs of the industry as there is no any single type of filling machine available to fill different types of liquid, solid or powder. China’s current drinking water, carbonated drinks, tea drinks pre-treatment equipment can basically meet the needs of domestic products, medium and low speed Unscrambler, packing equipment, there are products available that match the options in the hot liquid filling machine, many factories are able to solve the equipment in the control of liquid filling machine sealing and other process requirements. But whether it is carbonated drinks, bottled water, juice or tea drink, PET bottles, metal cans or Tetra Pak, China’s leading beverage companies are basically using equipment which are imported.

The future direction of the filling machine

Currently, the increasingly fierce competition in the food packaging machinery, food filling machinery  with the industrial automation, and promote the overall level of packaging equipment, the development of versatile, high efficiency, low consumption of food packaging equipment.

Liquid Filling Machine is filling a machine of the liquid. The use of mechanized filling not only can improve labor productivity, reduce product loss, to ensure the quality of packaging, but also can reduce the cross contamination of the production environment and the materials were loaded. Therefore, the modern wine production industry generally mechanized filling machine. Such as: wine filling machine, drinking water filling machine. Filling machine knowledge: different containers (bottles, cans, boxes, barrels, bags, etc.) and different filling materials (including gas liquids, excluding gas, liquid, paste, etc.), filling machine varieties not the same.

Filling machine development and life are closely related, it is filling the quality, performance, and so affect our standard of living.

Wine production the main technical conditions

So far, the wine industry is still the world’s largest industry in the biotechnology industry. In our country, the wine industry stand the biotechnology industry more than 30%. Wine is a kind of food and beverage, also be a kind of connotation is rich cultural products. Wine production, reference and consumption involves the national character, culture, interests, economic, legal, regulatory and political all aspects of life, and people’s quality of life and the national economic development are closely related. The world all walks of life to all sorts of attitude forward, wine is no exception. The old wine producing countries such as France and other strength don’t reduce, production has a different degree of growth, in the image and influence on young wine with competition compete. The young wine countries such as Australia and other sound field show unprecedented momentum, yield increase quickly, the grape growing area of more than old wine producer, and with the good and cheap wine and traditional wine producer of the competition.

In wine brewing, grape broken and at the same time and addition of suitable amount of SO2, can effectively prevent the crushing grapes after fermentation before oxidation. After the break for general except the stems, and in addition to infarction and after for squeezed. Squeezing process should be relatively slowly, and the pressure is on the increase. In order to increase the rate of juice, generally USES many press, that is when the first after pressing, will loose debris, and make the second squeezed. At this time, grape juice is divided into three parts: their juice; The first and second after squeezing the outflow of the juice of pressure. For red wine, squeezing is about 15%. For white wine, squeezing is about 30%.

The alcoholic fermentation can trigger nature, but now many artificial add yeast way. According to the characteristics and the types of wine making, to choose appropriate selection of yeast, and in the right time with the right way to increase to add yeast.

In wine degrees certain influence malic acid-lactic acid fermented and smooth triggered the decisive factors including temperature, pH and SO2. First fermentation temperature keep in 18 ~ 20 ℃, adjustment of the pH value of the wine for 3.2. For raw materials of SO2 processing can’t more than 60 mg/L, when the alcoholic fermentation is over, not wine of SO2 processing. Apple acid-after the end of lactic acid fermented, shall be immediately separation wine, add the SO2

For alcohol fermentation, detection grapes fermentation of the residual liquid mash sugar content, is to control the wine fermentation process of the main indexes are over. When using a laboratory titration method of measured residual sugar to a 0.2 g/L the following and think that alcohol fermentation over.

Now commonly used wine filling machine and a liquid filling machine sort has installed the pressure filling machine, vacuum filling machine and siphon filling machine.

(1) pressure filing machine using liquid storing box in the upper air chamber gas bottle of air, make the two close to equal the pressure, and then flow into the bottle wine by dead weight.

(2) vacuum filling machine will bottle in vacuum pumping form negative pressure, and thus help to wine into the bottle.

(3) siphon filling machine using siphon principle, will use by liquid storing wine carried in the box inhaled bottle, and until both equal level so far.
