Product features
- Automatic Brix control: In-line measurement provides precise concentration control, with APV documentation specifying Brix accuracy down to ±0.1°, supporting consistent syrup preparation.
- Continuous production: Sugar syrup is prepared continuously rather than through conventional batch dissolution, supporting stable supply to downstream beverage processes.
- Efficient dissolution: The jet-mix principle promotes effective sugar dissolution and contributes to fast stabilization of the required concentration.
- Reduced ingredient losses: Accurate concentration control produces more consistent syrup, helping avoid unnecessary sugar consumption caused by over-concentration.
- Lower operating costs: Automated processing reduces labour requirements, while heat-recovery capability can reduce energy demand within the sugar preparation process.
- Simplified cleaning: Self-cleaning final filtration reduces manual cleaning requirements and supports efficient hygienic operation.
- Flexible integration: The system can be incorporated into existing or new beverage-processing installations rather than requiring a standalone production architecture.
- Installation-ready configuration: Modular, pre-assembled and factory-tested construction supports faster installation and commissioning while reducing site integration work.
APV Flex-Mix Continuous Sugar Dissolver is specified for continuous preparation of sugar solutions in hygienic food and beverage production. Rather than preparing syrup as separate batches, the system continuously meters, dissolves and controls the required sugar concentration. This supports predictable syrup quality and provides downstream beverage processes with a controlled ingredient stream. AxFlow identifies the equipment specifically for continuous sugar-solution preparation in hygienic food and beverage applications.
The system uses controlled dissolution combined with Brix analysis to maintain the specified syrup concentration. APV documentation states that the Flex-Mix Continuous Sugar Dissolver provides Brix accuracy down to ±0.1°, while the jet-mix principle promotes effective dissolution. This precision can reduce raw-material consumption by limiting unnecessary sugar addition and variation between production runs. Continuous automatic operation also reduces labour requirements compared with processes requiring greater manual intervention.
The Flex-Mix system is constructed as an integrated process solution rather than simply a standalone dynamic mixer. Its configuration incorporates the equipment required for controlled sugar preparation, with automatic process control and filtration forming part of the operating concept. The system can also incorporate plate heat exchanger heat recovery to reduce energy consumption. Final materials, connections, utilities and individual equipment specifications should be verified for the supplied configuration, as the current AxFlow source does not publish detailed construction data.
For new installations, the system can be specified around required syrup production capacity, concentration, utilities, downstream equipment and available plant space. For existing beverage plants, its ability to integrate with established processing equipment provides a route to replacing or upgrading batch-oriented sugar preparation. Modular construction, automatic control and reduced cleaning requirements can lower operating effort over the equipment lifecycle. AxFlow can support configuration verification, OEM spare-parts planning, service and availability for the installed APV system.
