Skid-mounted CO₂ carbonation mixer for soft drinks and sparkling water, 1,000–5,000 L/h. Japanese single-pass mixing technology, PLC control and ±0.5% ratio accuracy for stable, high-carbonation beverages.
The ZL Series carbonated water mixer is the heart of any carbonated soft drink or sparkling water line. Engineered by Zhonglian for beverage plants across Central Asia, Africa, Southeast Asia and South America, it dissolves CO₂ into chilled water and syrup under precisely controlled pressure and temperature — delivering a consistent fizz and taste, batch after batch. Its compact skid-mounted build drops straight into a turnkey production line.
Why This Mixer Stands Out
Unlike standard beverage mixers, this unit is built to achieve a noticeably higher carbonation level. Every wetted part — tanks, pipelines and valves — is fabricated from food-grade low-carbon stainless steel, mirror-polished inside and out to meet international food-hygiene standards. Electrical components and instruments are sourced from leading brands for long-term reliability.
Key Features
- Advanced carbonation technology: high gas-dissolving efficiency for stable, consistent CO₂ content and taste.
- ±0.5% ratio precision: a fine-tuning metering needle valve holds the water-to-syrup ratio to roughly 5 parts per thousand.
- PLC intelligent control: tank pressure and liquid level are regulated in real time, cutting manual error.
- Full safety protection: automatic alarm and emergency shutdown on fault, with auto-resume after reset.
- Flexible adjustment: output, sugar-water ratio and carbonation level are all adjustable without swapping mechanical parts.
- Compact skid design: small footprint, easy to install, debug and maintain on lines of any scale.
How It Works
Chilled water and syrup are fed into the mixing system at a preset ratio, then blended with high-purity CO₂ under stable pressure using an efficient single-pass process. The PLC continuously monitors tank pressure, level and flow to ensure the gas dissolves uniformly, and the finished carbonated liquid is delivered continuously to the filling stage.
