Application of reverse osmosis pure water treatment equipment in the food & beverage industry

With the great concern for food safety sanitary and drinking water sanitary, many related production enterprises, especially food and beverage processing enterprises, need a large amount of pure water in the production process, so choosing the right water treatment equipment has also become an important part.

Water quality affects food quality:

1. Water hardness: hardness is one of the most common and most concerned indicators, mainly reflected in the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions in water, high hardness will cause discoloration, precipitation and flavor change, hardening and other situations.

2. The alkalinity of water: too high alkali will also lead to a decrease in food aroma, precipitation, and is not conducive to the growth of yeast.

3. The peculiar smell of water: The water itself has a peculiar odor, which can easily affect the flavor of the finished food.

4. Chromaticity and turbidity of water: excessive chromaticity and turbidity will cause product precipitation, carbonation difficulties, color changes, etc.

5. The pH of water and phenols, free ammonia, dissolved oxygen, nitrates, organic matter, heavy metals and microorganisms in water may also affect food processing.

It can be seen that the substances in these raw water must be removed by special water treatment technology to make the water quality reach the corresponding standards, and finally meet the physical and chemical indicators of water quality required by the food production and processing process.

What kind of water is qualified?

All kinds of food production water must meet China’s “drinking water hygiene standards”, food and beverage industry, common water quality needs: pure water conductivity below 10uS/cm, the total hardness of softened water is less than (in Caco3) 30mg/l.

Food and beverage industry requirements for water quality: food and beverage industry water usually needs to use pretreatment of pure water or pure water, in line with GB5749-2006 drinking water hygiene standards, CJ94-1999 drinking water purification standards, GB17324-2003 bottles (barrels) drinking pure water hygiene standards.

Principle of reverse osmosis pure water equipment of Toption machinery: water treatment equipment for food and beverage industry is to remove organic matter, pigments, colloids, impurities, residual chlorine, etc. in water through an efficient and reasonable pretreatment system, and then apply reverse osmosis technology to remove bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in water and a large number of heavy metal impurities mixed into water that are harmful to the human body, so as to achieve the physical and chemical indicators and health standards stipulated for drinking, and produce pure water for food processing and production.

Application field of reverse osmosis pure water treatment equipment in food processing industry: reverse osmosis pure water treatment equipment is suitable for the production of various juices, beverage, brewing beer, dairy product, various food, milk, wine mixed beer, pure water, direct drinking water.

Through scientific and reasonable process flow, reverse osmosis pure water treatment equipment can effectively remove impurities and salts in water, improve the purity of water, and protect people’s health. Toption Machinery’s reverse osmosis equipment has been recognized and praised by many customers for its advanced technology, high-quality materials, stable performance and good after-sales service. In the future, Toption Machinery will continue to increase research and development efforts, continuously improve product performance and services, and provide customers with more high-quality softened water treatment equipment, thereby promoting the development of China’s water treatment equipment industry.
