ABSTRACT:
A batch mixing process for the preparation of a beverage syrup which results in a requirement for significantly lesser quantities of water in the syrup mixing process, primarily by reducing the amount of rinse water required to rinse between the mixing of the separate components of the beverage syrup. The syrup batching loop employs a main syrup tank and a subsidiary premixing tank for premixing selected components of the beverage syrup with a quantity of water to dilute each premixed component. A feed line extends from the premixing tank to the syrup tank, such that after dilution, each diluted premixed component can be pumped therethrough from the premixing tank to the main syrup tank. A significant feature of the present invention is the utilization of a recycle line extending from the syrup mixing tank to the premixing tank, which allows recycling of the partially prepared syrup mixture from the syrup tank to the premixing tank for rinsing of the premix equipment between the individual mixing steps of the overall syrup making process. While the premixing tank is being emptied of the diluted component into the syrup tank, the premixing tank and the lines associated therewith are also being rinsed with the partially completed beverage syrup from the syrup tank, rather than with rinse water. The premixing and rinsing steps are repeated for each additional component of the beverage syrup mixture which must be premixed in that manner, such that the rinse water normally required to rinse the premixing vessel and the lines associated therewith between each different premixing step is not required.
