From conceptualization to realization, our team spearheaded the design, implementation, installation, and commissioning of a state-of-the-art fully automated blending plant. This project marks a significant milestone in the realm of FABs and RTDs production, integrating innovative technologies and processes to ensure efficiency, precision, and excellence every step of the way.

 

Key highlights of our contributions include:

- Integration of steam, compressed air, and automation systems for optimal operational performance.

- Establishment of offloading stations catering to Bulk Spirits and Bulk ingredients intake and storage.

- Implementation of advanced raw equipment handling solutions.

- Introduction of a Powder to liquid make-up system for enhanced product consistency.

- Construction of a cutting-edge blending line, equipped with 6 ingredients tanks for precise formulation.

- Creation of an EX area to ensure safe handling of alcohol.

- Installation of high gravity equipment for dilution and carbonation en route to the fillers.


The Blending plant now boasts a capacity of 950,000 hectolitres per annum, poised to elevate to an impressive 1,525,000 hectolitres per annum, setting new benchmarks in the industry.
