Coca Production Process Flow
Cola
1. Water Treatment:
The water is subjected to a demanding
treatment to adapt to the
WHO requirements, organizations
locales and The Coca-Cola Company. The
the treatment consists of several steps of
filtration and disinfection with which
the safety of water is ensured (free
of microorganisms), removing
besides strange flavors and
chemical pollutants.
2. Preparation of Simple Syrup:
The treated water is mixed with
nutritive sweeteners such as
sugar in exact measures forming the
simple syrup; the one that is filtered at low
pressure thus eliminating any
impurity.
3. Preparation of Finished Syrup:
The syrup is mixed with the concentrate,
which is provided by Tha
Coca-Cola Company which they grant
flavor, color and smell of their products.
4. Preparation of the Drink
Finished:
The treated water and the finished syrup,
they are dosed in appropriate proportions
in a deposit that mixes them.
non-carbonated drink (water-syrup) is
driven by a pump to
carbonated (pond) where the
liquid falls on the tray
distributor, which has small perforations in line with the plates of
cooling. Through these openings, the drink flows in the form of a thin sheet that
descends through the cooling plates in a carbon dioxide gas atmosphere which is
lower part of the carbonated pond. From there, due to the pressure it is subjected to
Once the Drink is finished, it exits through a pipe towards the filler.
5. Packaging Process:
a) Displacement: The boxes with empty containers are removed in an orderly manner.
manually from the pallets and placed on a conveyor belt of
boxes.
b) Unpacking: the boxes with
empty bottles enter a machine
that removes the bottles and places them in the
bottle conveyor belt.
c) Pre-wash Inspection: It is carried out
visually removed manually the
very dirty bottles, with strange objects
and damaged.
d) Washing and Sterilization: It is carried out in
an autonomous injection machine
a hot caustic solution that cleans
the bottles and rinse them under pressure with
fresh water to get a bottle
clean and sterile.
e) Post-Wash Inspection: Each
bottle that comes out of the washer is checked
to ensure that it is clean and in
perfect conditions, to be filled.
f) Filling and Sealing: The container is
pressurized to the same pressure of the
filler, which is under pressure
of carbon dioxide; once it reaches the
pressure equilibrium between the filler
and the inside of the containers, the drink is
transferred by gravity, into the interior
from the container, interrupting the filling
when it reaches the full level
suitable. Immediately at the exit of
the filler is capped or crowned, with
a hermetic lid for the drink
preserve its characteristics
organoleptic.
g) Post-Filling Inspection: the
bottles filled and perfectly sealed
They are inspected on illuminated screens, verifying that the level exists
of filling this within the specification.
h) Coded: Once the container has been filled, it is coded in a way
automatic with the date of preparation, Production line, time of
identification of the plant.
i) Boxing and Palletizing: The already inspected bottles enter a
machine that places them in their respective boxes to finally return them to
manually arranging on pallets.
j) Stacking: The pallets are stacked in an orderly manner based on the principle
FIFO and protected under cover, waiting to be distributed by the
trucks.
k) Transport and Distribution: The pallets are loaded by fork lifts
to distribution trucks and/or hauling trucks to be delivered to
the Operating Centers for subsequent distribution to the customers, who
they are responsible for selling the product to consumers.
