Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2772367A1] The invention concerns a device for preparing homogeneous mixtures from constituents having different levels of viscosity, in particular for making beverages, characterised in that it consists in incorporating, on the feed line (12) of the bottling machine, between the feed pump (10) thereof, and the bottling machine, a saturating/blending dynamic loop (14), of reduced volume wherein the mixture continuously circulates the saturating/blending mixture, with reduced volume and comprising: a pump (20) receiving upstream the supplies of constituents (driving and driven products) to be mixed, said pump ensuring a minimal flow rate higher than the bottling machine flow rate and the circulation of the mixture in said dynamic loop (14); a holding loop (9) with capacity adapted to the flow rate and the manufactured product; and a separator (27) ensuring the output of the homogeneous mixture towards the bottling machine feed line (12).
