Aseptic bottle sterilisation system for Pet containers
Ensure aseptic integrity and high-speed efficiency in beverage production with a solution that reliably handles sterilisation, filling, and capping while minimizing contamination risks and maximizing output of up to 36,000 bottles per hour.
Sterilises and Fills Aseptic Bottles
The PET-Asept D system from Krones is an aseptic bottling solution designed to meet the rigorous demands of beverage manufacturing. Utilizing a 100% dry hydrogen peroxide sterilisation method, the system effectively eliminates germ presence, ensuring product safety and integrity. Suitable for a wide range of aseptic products, the PET-Asept D is engineered to process up to 36,000 bottles per hour, making it ideal for high-speed production lines in the food and beverage industry.
With capabilities for filling both still and carbonated drinks, including those with particles up to 10 x 10 x 10 millimeters, this system addresses diverse product needs such as fruit smoothies, almond milk, and carbonated soft drinks. It integrates seamlessly into production lines with its PLC-controlled operations and automatic changeover features, minimizing downtime during product transitions.
Enhanced by HEPA filtration in its air handling unit, the PET-Asept D ensures consistent air purity, while its centralized exhaust system supports efficient operations. The dry handling of bottles in warmed air conditions also prevents condensation, facilitating a swift sterilisation process. Designed for continuous operation, the system can function up to one week before requiring a 150-minute cleaning cycle, supporting uninterrupted production with ease.
Krones offers this equipment with options for customization and engineering support, ensuring compatibility and optimization within existing production environments.
