A PROJECT REPORT On

SOFT DRINK (Beverage Industry)

Soft drinks have become part and parcel of the Indian lifestyle. Taste is the main factor which drives the demand of the product. Urban areas report a dramatically high consumption of aerated drinks as compared to rural areas. Be it children, the college kid or the middle aged Indian soft drinks are enjoyed by one and all in the country. Especially after the influx of a number of fast food joints in India soft drinks have gained more popularity. The process of dissolving carbon dioxide gas is called carbonation. It results in the formation of carbonic acid (which has the chemical formula H2CO3). Soda water is generally of two kinds, viz. Plain Soda Water (Aerated Soda Water) and Flavored Soda Water (Aerated Beverages). In Plain Soda Water, Carbonic Acid Gas (CO2) & Sodium-by-carbonate solution under pressure is mixed with pure water. Flavored Soda Water contains flavors of lemon, ginger (Masala Soda), milk rose, mango, pineapple, etc. in syrup base and this preparation is also made using carbonic acid gas (CO2) under pressure. Soft drinks constitute the third largest packaged food segment in India after packaged tea and packaged biscuits. LOCATION The plant can be located at any suitable place where availability of clean water, power, PET bottles and in the vicinity of the market. PRODUCTION PROCESS The Bottling Process is carried out in a fully automated plant with human supervision. The entire production is through integrated unit comprising: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Water Treatment Plant Bottling Plant Syrup Room Crowner Packaging

Water in the plant shall come from the nearby source and stored in the Reservoir, before ensuring production raw material (clean water) is treated in the water treatment plant. The process involves is

known as the coagulation process. Chemicals used in this process are calcium hydroxide, chlorine and calcium sulphate. Initially water is treated with the chemicals in the chemical tank and become turbid. Turbidity is not only an aesthetic problem in water. Water with a high turbidity can be very difficult or impossible to properly disinfect. As a result, the maximum allowable level of turbidity in water is 0.5 NTU, while the recommended level is about 0.1 NTU. (NTU, or TU, stands for nephelometric turbidity units, a measurement of the turbidity of water.) Turbidity and color are much more common in surface water than in groundwater. As surface water flows over the ground to streams, through streams, and then through rivers, the water picks up a large quantity of particles. As a result, while aeration is more commonly required for groundwater, treatment involving coagulation and flocculation is typical of surface water. Impurities get settled at the base and remove the turbidity. Next it is sent to a sand filter to remove the turbidity from where the water is sent to CARBON TANK where all the micro organism and chlorine is removed the water so obtained is completely free from any kind of impurity and is ready to be used in further processing the maximum alkalinity is maintained. BOTTLING UNIT The Automatic conveyor machine takes the empty bottle to the machine. A person is required to put the empty bottle on the roller conveyor. Used bottle from the market are stealthy. It is completely outer process which takes place within a machine. The machine has three compartments. Bottles for washing placed on conveyor comes inside the machine and get successive treatment. Bottles are treated with caustic soda in the first compartment in the frost compartment. Thereafter, bottles are again washed with cleaning agent in the second compartment. In the third compartment Bottles are treated with soft ware. SYRUP ROOM Syrup room shall be equipped to prepare syrup from filtered water, sugar and the concentrate. The room is well equipped with several tanks and filter process. The first one is heating tank in which syrup is actually prepared. Calculated amount of sugar, concentrate and water is heated upto 850C. Thus a saturated solution is prepared. The filled bottles are crowned with metallic caps to protect the impurity of content. Then the bottles are given the batch no. bottling date with the help of laser machine. The filled bottles are lifted from the conveyor belt and placed manually in crates. The bottling of beverage is carried out at 240bottles per minute.
