Heigu Tianfu has delivered a complete food production line to a food company in Guangzhou, including square emulsification tanks, top-mounted emulsification tanks, hot water tanks, transfer and holding tanks, CIP storage tanks, volumetric blending tanks, and shell-and-tube heat exchangers. The entire line achieves micron-level emulsification fineness, high blending precision, and comprehensive energy savings of approximately 25%. Based in Chongqing, we are a manufacturer directly from the source. Please feel free to contact us at 19562136132.
A Food Production Line Project in Guangzhou: From Emulsification to Formulation to CIP, Full-Chain Smart Equipment Empowers the Smart Manufacturing of Healthy Beverages
I. Project Background and Client Requirements
This Guangzhou-based food company primarily produces plant-based protein beverages and functional fruit juices. Its existing production line suffered from issues such as uneven emulsification, time-consuming cleaning, and high steam energy consumption, making an upgrade urgently needed. Heigu Tianfu (Chongqing) Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. was commissioned to handle the design of the entire production line and the supply of equipment. Requirements:
The product's stability meets export standards
Overall energy consumption across the entire production line has been significantly reduced
CIP cleaning time has been significantly reduced
Supports flexible switching between multiple product categories (such as oat milk, coconut milk, and blended fruit juices)
II. List of Core Equipment and Their Technical Functions
| Equipment Name | Role in the Production Line |
|---|---|
| Square Emulsification Tank | High-efficiency emulsification of oil and water, with fat particles at the micron level |
| Top-mounted Emulsification Tank | Stabilizers and protein powder dissolve quickly without clumping |
| Hot Water Tank | To provide a constant-temperature heat source for blending and CIP |
| Interim Insulated Tank | Store semi-finished products after blending at a constant temperature |
| CIP Tank | Online cleaning, acid and alkali recovery, and significant water savings |
| Volume-Adjustment Mixing Tank | Precise dosing, with minimal batch-to-batch variation |
| Shell-and-tube heat exchanger | Rapid Heating/Cooling, Energy Savings Through Waste Heat Recovery |
III. Line-Wide Integration and Energy-Efficient Design
Heat Recovery Coordination: Hot water from the outlet of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger enters the hot water tank, reducing the need for steam heating; hot water discharged during CIP preheats the cold water for use in the next batch of material.
Smart Control: The PLC centrally controls emulsification time, mixing sequence, and CIP programs, allowing for one-touch recipe switching and significantly reducing changeover time.
Sanitary Design: All tanks are made of 316L stainless steel, with an internal surface finish of Ra ≤ 0.4 μm and a pipe slope of ≥ 1%, ensuring no dead corners and compliance with GMP standards.
IV. Project Outcomes and Client Feedback
Emulsion Stability: The product’s centrifugation sedimentation rate has decreased significantly, and its shelf life has been extended.
Energy-saving data: Total energy consumption was reduced by approximately 25%, resulting in significant annual savings on steam and water costs.
Improved Efficiency: Shorter batch times and a significant increase in production capacity
Customer review: “The engineers from Heigu Tianfu spent a week on-site conducting commissioning, even personally measuring the angle of the CIP piping. Their professional approach gave us great peace of mind.”
