Equipment list：

B. Structure and work procedure: (reference design drawing in scene)

1. Structure:

Clean the filling line by using the u-shaped structure, the keg inlet and outlet is kept parallel. A set of conveyor chain, a set of pre-wash, a set of outside washing, a set of prewashing unqualified roll-out devices, a set of automatic weighing and disqualified roll-out devices, a set of CIP system for the cleaning of the keg’s inner wall. The equipment is generally u-shaped, and the inlet conveyors and outlet conveyors  are vertical with keg filling and washing line respectively. The CIP system for cleaning the inner wall of the keg is located in the middle part of the filling part so as to save space. The washing and filling line is connected with the CIP system, external compressed air, CO2, steam, beer pipe and other pipe connections (site installations ) through the pipe interface and the cleaning of the inner wall of the keg.

2. Work procedure:

(1) Put keg up-down on the conveyor, keg will prepare working automatically.

(2) Keg will prepare working automatically move to station 1 begin washing.

(3) Keg will move to station 2 washing automatically, at the same time, next keg will move on station 1 to prepare washing.

(4) Keg will finished wash, sterilize and fill from station 1 to station 6 as the same way.

(5) Keg will move on the weighing system to check up to standard or not by the conveyor.

C. Performance introduction of each part:

1. Main part of Washing and filling line:

(7) Mechanical driving mechanism adopts the linkage mode of mechanical crank, so that the equipment can run smoothly, reliably and accurately, so as to avoid the occurrence of failure rate.

(8) Device is equipped with automatic pressure detection, residual liquid detection after purging, wine spear open detection, sterilization temperature detection, alarm and location, the location after the alarm, the following location are to stop work and stop filling, can guarantee the physical and chemical indicators qualified filling wine, avoid the waste of alcohol.

(9) The filling is filled with CO2 backup pressure, and the pressure differential is sealed and filled. The filling volume is tested by imported flow meter, and different filling capacity can be set according to different capacity barrels. It can be used to ensure the low foam, low consumption, accurate filling quantity, and the alcohol loss can be controlled below 1%.

(10) The equipment has its own CIP and wine pipeline CIP cleaning function, which can guarantee the hygiene of the wine pipeline and the filling head, so that the wine can meet the hygienic standard. The wine after filling keeps the original taste and taste of beer.

(11) The filling method of the equipment can be set and adjusted by the touch screen to adjust the filling capacity, and can adjust the error, which can display the number of filling barrels and liters in real time. Normal filling error can be controlled at 0.2 L.

(12) The equipment is randomly matched with CO2 filter, steam filter and pressure-reducing valve to guarantee the expiration date of the finished wine.

(13) The design capacity of single cleaning and filling line is 60 PCS/H (30L), and the total capacity is.

 Equipment parameters

2. CIP system for cleaning of keg inner surface

(1)The system has three CIP tanks and three CIP pumps,water tanks is Caustic, hot water and rinse water. The maximum lift of each pump is 40-45 meters. The automatic constant pressure valve is provided to washing and filling line.

(2) Caustic tank and hot water tank have automatic filling water, automatic heating and keeping temperature function to ensure the process requirements of CIP liquid.

3.PASTEURIZER (2000L/H)

Pasteurizer structure:

Beer piping system

By sight glasses, beer high-pressure pump inlet valve, beer, plate heat exchanger, heat preservation pipe section, flow control valve, turbine flowmeter, exports pneumatic butterfly valve, pneumatic directional valve cycle, etc.

The steam piping system

Ball valve by steam, steam pressure reducing valve, pneumatic control valve, steam heat exchanger, etc.

Hot water piping system

By adding water valve, vertical storage tank, heat pump, heat exchanger, etc.

Refrigerant piping system

By the filters, cooling valve, cooling pump, heat exchanger, etc.

Electric control system of instrument

Display instrument refrigerant pressure gauge, beer electric contact pressure gauge, etc. Flow control device by beer, the sterilization temperature, cooling temperature, PLC and electrical components and lamp, etc.

Working principle:

Prepare sterilization cold beers after high pressure pump into the plate heat exchanger, have been completed per heated to 65 ℃ heat sterilization of beer, then by 85 ℃ hot water heated to 75 ℃, the heat preservation thermal insulation pipe section after 30 seconds to 25 pu pasteurization unit value, and then be cooled to 12 ℃ preheat the cold beer, and finally into the cooling system is cooled to 2 ℃, into the buffer tank for filling.

Operation sterilization temperature is lower than the technical requirements (set at 75 ℃), can be automatically entered into circulation state, when sterilization temperature up to 75 ℃ delay 1 minute closed automatically circulating valve, pneumatic butterfly valve to open out the wine, ensure the quality of sterilization. Than other control parameters setting, alarm and automatically stop equipment.

5. Weighing system

(1) Weighing system is in a plate type electronic scale above supporting chain conveyor system, go through the chain transmission to run to the electronic weighing barrel according to the above, go through the chain suspension after complete automatic weighing process.

(2) Whether the bucket meets the weight standard is to use the actual weighing value of the bucket and the set value of the weighing instrument to compare the judgment; The actual weighing value is considered qualified if the value is greater than or equal to the set value.

(3) The maximum weight range is 150KGS.

(4) Whether the bucket qualified after weighing is determined by the control system and memory, when the unqualified bucket is delivered to the launch device, the device automatically pushes the bucket to the unqualified area; The qualified drums are not moved, and are transported directly to the finished area through the conveyor chain.

(1) All inlet and outlet the conveyor chain adopt stainless steel chain roller chain, form a complete set of inlet and outlet blocking device, according to three lines of start-stop condition and counting mechanism at the same time supply three line into the keg and the keg of the output.

(2) The auxiliary photoelectric switch and the keg can be used to adjust the photoelectric switch according to the diameter of the keg, so that the keg can operate in the middle of the conveyor, so that it can be suitable for different kegs.

D. Host CIP cleaning scheme

The filling head and pipeline of the washing and filling line are required to be cleaned by CIP before and after each production, normally using 80-85 degrees of hot alkali water and hot water. The device does not have the CIP cleaning system of the host itself, CIP is provided by the user. CIP enters the filling head through the wine line, cleaning the wine pipeline and filling head and related pipeline. With CIP, the user can be scrubbed by CIP in CIP program mode. Because of the small amount of CIP fluid used in the cleaning of equipment, no alkali recovery line is used, and the alkaline water and hot water are discharged after washing. If the user needs to perform alkali recovery, please specify in advance.

E. Equipment configuration scheme:

The equipment frame, pipeline, valve and water tank are all made of standard SUS304. Electrical components, water pumps, detection components, sensors are all in high - grade configuration.
