Abstract:
A liquid sugar syrup and water based liquid blending apparatus, comprising:a. a first conduit for said liquid sugar;b. a second conduit for said water based liquid;c. a third conduit connected to said first and second conduits to provide a mixture stream of the liquid sugar and water based liquid;d. means for applying pressure to the liquid sugar in said first conduit;e. means for applying pressure to the water based liquid in said second conduit at a greater value than said pressure applied to said liquid sugar in said first conduit;f. means for setting a particular desired Brix value of the mixture stream containing the liquid sugar and water based liquid;g. means for detecting the actual value of the Brix in the mixture stream; andh. comparitor means for regulating the flow of the water based liquid in said first conduit to essentially set the Brix of the mixture stream to said particular desired Brix valve, by determining the difference between said particular desired Brix value and said actual Brix value of the mixture stream, said comparitor means including a valve located in said second conduit to regulate the flow of the water based liquid.
