SUMMARY
The Armfield FT102XA miniature-scale carbonator provides the ability to establish precise and repeatable parameters when carbonating in the laboratory, this can dramatically improve the speed with which new products are developed.
The FT102XA is a totally new design including a large number of improvements and enhancements. In particular, special attention has been given to the ease of use, enhanced flexibility, reliability and improved Clean In Place (CIP).
Both premix and postmix operations are available from the standard machine, and an option is available to add the syrup for postmix automatically. Other options enable for deaeration of the product and evacuation of the bottles, continuous processing capability, and filling and capping (screw and/or crown) at a single station without removing the bottle.
The FT102XA Carbonator, Filler is easy to install, set up and use.
Colour touch screen control is used with a new graphical interface, enabling different carbonating and filling scenarios to be set and stored. The improved semi-automated cleaning program takes the user step by step through the cleaning process and enables the unit to be made ready for another product or formulation.
FEATURES
1. Accurate carbonation levels in excess of 12g/l (± 0.1g/l)
2. Cans, PET and glass bottle filling
3. Screw, crown, rip-cap and ROPP capping
4. Can seaming
5. CO2 recycling for environmentally friendly processing
6. Deaeration
7. Vessel purging
8. New vacuum system compatible with high foaming products
9. In-bottle pressure measurement
10. Pre-mixing and post-mixing capability
11. Syrup dosing into the bottle
12. ArmBUS control system with 32 process recipes and flexibility of computer control over PLC control
13. Full data capture through ArmBUS data viewer (exportable to Excel)
14. Twin filling head option available
BENEFITS
1. Reduced movement of bottle increases the accuracy and reliability of carbonation
2. On-board high-efficiency chiller reduces space required in laboratory
3. Removable side panels and IP65 electrical cabinet for easy access to internal components and spray down when required
4. Can operate as standalone unit or with the continuous feed vessel FT102XA-44
5. No need for an external chiller or ice water supply
APPLICATION
The FT102XA is ideally suited as a general purpose filling and carbonation installation for small laboratory applications. Used in conjunction with one of Armfield’s FT74XA UHT/HTST units, a complete drinks line can be created in the laboratory; consisting of heat treatment, carbonation, filling and capping.
