Product Overview
The High Gravity Dilution System is a precision automated unit designed for the dilution of high-gravity concentrates, such as those used in brewing. As a critical component within liquid handling systems, it precisely blends concentrated wort with dilution water to ensure consistent final gravity and uniform product quality. Leveraging advanced flow monitoring and automated control technologies, the system allows for pre-setting mix ratios based on production demands. By continuously capturing real-time flow data for both concentrate and water, it automatically adjusts flow rates and proportions, making it adaptable to various production scales. This system is particularly suited to meet the stringent hygiene and quality standards of beer production, including Pure Draft Beer, offering fully automated operation, ease of use, and accurate ratio control. It significantly enhances production efficiency, minimizes material loss, and guarantees final product consistency.

Integrated into a comprehensive automated control system, it eliminates manual adjustments and enables fully automated ratio control with real-time data acquisition. Remote monitoring capabilities allow technical and production teams to view operational status instantly, simplifying daily operations and maintenance.
- Strong Adaptability, Flexible Adjustment
Mix ratios can be flexibly adjusted based on production conditions to accommodate the dilution needs of various high-gravity concentrates. It is scalable for both large-volume industrial production and smaller-scale lines, demonstrating robust compatibility. - Hygienic Compliance, Safe & Reliable
Components in contact with product are designed to sanitary standards, integrated with sanitary piping and processes. It is compatible with CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems for comprehensive cleaning, preventing product residue and microbial contamination, and adhering to food-grade production standards. - Stable Operation, Low Loss
Features a well-engineered structure with reliable core components. The mixing process ensures no residual material waste, significantly increasing material utilization. It also reduces the probability of equipment failure, ensuring continuous and stable production.
Equipment Structure and Operating Principles
- Composition: The system primarily comprises an electromagnetic flowmeter, a control valve, a metering pump, and corresponding mixing pipe sections. It can be integrated into an overall PLC control system, linking with relevant units such as flow detection and temperature control to achieve coordinated operation.
- Operating Principle: A predetermined mixing ratio of the high-concentration material and dilution water is set on the control board. The electromagnetic flowmeter collects real-time flow data from the high-concentration material and dilution water pipelines. Upon receiving this data, the control system automatically adjusts the control valve on the dilution water line, continuously regulating the dilution water flow rate. Through the synergistic action of the metering pump and mixing pipe section, the high-concentration material and dilution water are thoroughly mixed, ensuring the actual mixing ratio matches the preset ratio. This ultimately outputs a finished product with stable concentration.
Avantages
- Precise Ratio Control: The mixing ratio can be preset, with real-time monitoring and automatic flow adjustment to ensure accuracy and guarantee uniform finished product concentration.
- Real-time Data Monitoring: Flow data for high-concentration material and dilution water is collected in real-time and fed back to the control system for immediate monitoring and traceability.
- Automated Operation: The entire process requires no manual intervention, enabling automatic ratio adjustment and flow regulation. It can be linked with the overall production system to enhance operational efficiency.
- Flexible Adaptation: The mixing ratio can be adjusted according to production demands, accommodating the dilution needs of high-concentration materials of various specifications and concentrations.
- Hygienic Design: Compliant with sanitary production standards, it can be cleaned in conjunction with CIP cleaning systems, preventing contamination and ensuring product hygiene and safety.
Application Fields
This equipment is primarily applied in the brewing industry, specifically for High Gravity Beer Dilution Processes in various breweries, enabling the production of Pure Draft Beer and other standard beer types. It is also suitable for other food and beverage production scenarios requiring the dilution of high-concentration materials, providing precise, stable, and efficient ratio solutions for high-concentration material dilution stages.
