Component Specifications

Definition
Liquor inlet/outlet ports are engineered fluid transfer interfaces integrated into soaking drum systems, designed to facilitate the controlled introduction and discharge of alcoholic or aqueous solutions during soaking, marinating, or extraction processes. These components feature precision-machined connections, often with sanitary fittings, to maintain hygienic standards, prevent leakage, and optimize flow dynamics for consistent product quality in beverage and food manufacturing applications.
Working Principle
Operates by providing sealed, directional pathways for liquor flow into and out of the soaking drum. Inlet ports typically connect to supply lines with valves to regulate input, while outlet ports enable drainage or transfer to subsequent stages, often utilizing gravity or pump-assisted systems to maintain controlled pressure and flow rates.
Materials
Stainless steel (AISI 304 or 316L), food-grade polymers (e.g., PTFE, PP), or sanitary alloys, selected for corrosion resistance, non-reactivity with alcohols, and compliance with food safety standards like FDA or EU regulations.
Technical Parameters
  • Port Diameter 25-100 mm
  • Surface Finish Ra ≤ 0.8 μm for sanitary applications
  • Connection Type Tri-clamp, flange, or threaded
  • Pressure Rating 0-10 bar
  • Temperature Range -10°C to 120°C
Standards
ISO 2852, DIN 11851
