The aseptic liquid nitrogen dosing machine is an advanced piece of equipment designed for aseptic packaging applications, particularly in the food and beverage industry. This machine specializes in liquid nitrogen dosing, a process that involves the precise introduction of liquid nitrogen into a container before sealing it. The rapid evaporation of liquid nitrogen displaces oxygen and creates a nitrogen-rich atmosphere, which is essential for preserving the freshness, flavor, and quality of products while extending their shelf life.
Performance-wise, the aseptic liquid nitrogen dosing machine excels in delivering highly accurate and sterile dosing. It is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to ensure that each container receives the exact amount of liquid nitrogen needed. This precision is crucial in maintaining the aseptic nature of the packaging process, as it minimizes the risk of contamination and ensures that the product remains safe for consumption. The machine's advanced sensors and control systems monitor the dosing process in real time, making adjustments as needed to maintain consistent dosing accuracy.
One of the standout features of the aseptic liquid nitrogen dosing machine is its ability to operate in a sterile environment, making it ideal for products that require strict hygiene standards, such as dairy, beverages, and pharmaceutical liquids. The aseptic conditions help prevent microbial contamination, thereby preserving the product's integrity and safety. This capability is especially important for products with long shelf lives or those that do not contain preservatives.
The liquid nitrogen dosing machine not only aids in preserving the product's quality but also helps maintain the structural integrity of the packaging. By creating a slight positive pressure inside the container, it prevents collapse or deformation, which is particularly useful for lightweight or flexible packaging materials. This ensures that the product remains visually appealing and intact throughout its shelf life.
Incorporating an aseptic liquid nitrogen dosing machine into a production line can lead to significant improvements in product quality and shelf life, as well as operational efficiency. The machine's ability to deliver precise liquid nitrogen dosing under sterile conditions makes it a valuable asset for manufacturers looking to enhance their packaging processes and meet stringent food safety standards. By investing in this technology, companies can offer products with extended freshness and better quality, catering to the growing consumer demand for safe and preservative-free options.
WYD-600 Liquid Nitrogen Dosing Machine is the latest liquid nitrogen dosing machine in China which uses the similar machines abroad for reference. It could control dosing volume accurately, no-container-no-liquid dosing, small size, easy installation and could coordinate with any filling production line. Control system comprises Siemens PLC and touch screen, all pipes adopt vacuum heat-insulated pipes which could ensure minimum consumption of liquid nitrogen and no frosting operation condition.
Nitrogen Dosing in PET Bottles: By injecting nitrogen into PET bottles, the internal pressure is increased, oxygen is removed, and the weight of the bottle is reduced, allowing for the use of lightweight bottles.
Vacuum Insulation: The system maintains a vacuum (less than 1×10⁻⁵ mbar) with insulation to achieve ultra-low daily evaporation rates, thereby reducing operating costs.
Nozzle Blanketing System: The nozzle is protected with dry nitrogen under positive pressure to prevent external air from entering, which can cause frost formation and blockages inside the nozzle. This setup ensures the nozzle remains ice-free and maintains a stable flow and direction of liquid nitrogen, unaffected by the positive pressure in the cleanroom or airflow generated by high-speed filling and sealing.
Liquid Level Control: The liquid nitrogen level is controlled by level probes and a vacuum pneumatic cryogenic proportional valve, ensuring stable levels and improving dosing accuracy.
Automatic Adjustment: The system automatically compensates the dosing amount (valve opening percentage) based on the filling and capping machine's speed, according to preset programs.
Soft Dosing Technology: This technology prevents rebound, splashing, evaporation, and boiling of liquid nitrogen during dosing, reducing liquid nitrogen loss and the occurrence of high-pressure and low-pressure products, thus saving costs.
Bilingual Interface: The system supports Chinese and English languages, allowing for easy switching between them.
Gas-Liquid Separator: It maintains pure liquid nitrogen at the outlet.
Speed and Position Tracking: The system can automatically track the speed and position of the filling and capping machine.
Communication Function: It can communicate with the filling and sealing machine.
Automatic Flow Adjustment: When speed changes occur, the dosing flow rate automatically adjusts. The adjustment of the flow rate, which corresponds to the valve opening percentage, switches automatically according to preset menus. This ensures consistent dosing amounts at different speeds, maintaining uniform product pressure.
Advanced Liquid Inlet Valve Design: The system features a scientifically advanced liquid inlet valve design with bellows compensators and gas seals, extending the machine's lifespan.
