Cleaning and Disinfection of Bottles (Barrels) and Their Caps

2. Production Process of Drinking Purified Water:

1. Source water
2. Coarse filtration
3. Fine filtration
4. Deionization purification (ion exchange, reverse osmosis, distillation)
5. Sterilization
6. Filling and sealing
7. Light inspection
8. Finished product

Carbonated Beverages

1. Water treatment
2. Water + additives
3. Cleaning and disinfection of bottles and caps

Raw materials

4. Mixing
5. Cooling, carbonation
6. Filling and sealing
7. Warm tank
8. Light inspection
9. Finished product

Tea Beverages

1. Tea extract (or its concentrate, instant tea powder)
2. Mixing (or not mixing)
3. Filtration
4. Sterilization
5. Filling and sealing
6. Light inspection
7. Finished product

1. Using Concentrated Fruit (Vegetable) Juice (Puree) as Raw Material:

1. Water + additives
2. Concentrated juice (puree) → Dilution, mixing
3. Sterilization
4. Aseptic filling (hot filling)
5. Light inspection
6. Finished product

2. Using Fruits (Vegetables) as Raw Materials:

1. Fruits (Vegetables) → Preprocessing → Juicing
2. Dilution, mixing
3. Sterilization
4. Aseptic filling (hot filling)
5. Light inspection
6. Finished product

Dairy Beverages and Plant Protein Beverages

1. Dairy Beverages

1. Milk (Reconstituted milk) → Mixing → Homogenization → Sterilization filling (sterile filling)
2. Sterilization and cooling
3. Water + additives
4. Fermentation → Homogenization → Mixing → Homogenization → Sterilization filling (sterile filling)
5. Finished product

Note: Active lactic acid bacteria beverages do not undergo the final sterilization process.

Plant Protein Beverages

1. Water → Water + additives
2. Raw materials → Preprocessing → Pulping → Filtration degassing
3. Mixing → Homogenization → Sterilization filling (or filling sterilization)
4. Finished product

Solid Beverages

1. Water + additives
2. Raw materials → Mixing → Dehydration drying
3. Shaping and packaging
4. Finished product
