Food and Beverage Market - Soft Drinks

The needs of Soft Drink Producers are varied, which is why 3M Purification has developed an extensive range of products that deliver flexible solutions to meet the filtration demands and production capacity of this industry.

Water is often challenging to filter and, depending upon the source, can vary due to security of its source. Seasonal variations can often impart new challenges in a process that has historically run smoothly. This is why 3M has developed an extensive range of depth filters that deliver exceptional dirt-holding capacity and high flow rates to assure the quality of water used in the production of beverages. 3M filters address the challenges of improving clarity, taste and odor as well as bacterial removal.

3M Purification products can be configured to meet the flow rates from niche small scale producers up to large scale, high capacity production plants.

In addition to water, 3M has further solutions specifically for the filtration of concentrates, high viscosity syrups, sweeteners and natural extracts used in the flavoring of Soft Drinks as well as gas filtration for carbonated drinks.

The following sections outline some of 3M Purification's solutions for various process steps:
