MicroBlend™ is the only patented mass-flow based multi-stream blending system which offers precision blending to an accuracy of ± .1% with a repeatability of ± .025%. The system uses Micro Motion Elite Mass Flow Meters to measure the syrup, water and CO2 streams with blending ratios ranging from 2-to-1 to as high as 30-to-1. All quality, yield, efficiency and production records are displayed in real time as well as logged for review and can be ported to a supervisory computer.

Flow, density and temperature each play a crucial part in calculations performed in the MicroBlend system. The MicroBlend system has achieved its ability to measure, blend, carbonate and calculate product strength and yield information due to the capabilities of the Mass Flow Meters and the specialized software developed for this process.

Our customers have provided strong endorsement for MicroBlend’s™ capacity to:

• Virtually eliminate losses due to off-spec product
• Reduce downtime due to flavor or tank changes
• Continuously monitor syrup concentration to reduce variances and improve product quality and yield
• Calculate the exact amount of gas to inject into the blended beverage
• Virtually eliminate product loss or empty containers left on the line due to its automated container cut-off feature

RDM can manufacture a variety of blender combinations. Carbonated Soft Drink blenders offer optional CO2 or N2 injection, with water deaeration and product chilling. Hot Fill and Non-Carb blenders are manufactured without the gas injection, deaeration and product chilling. Systems are manufactured in 304L or 316L SS depending on customer specifications. Mineralized waters can be blended at approximately 25-to-1.
