Aseptic filler for fluids, concentrates, and particulates

Optimize your fluid and concentrate filling process with a high-speed aseptic solution that ensures sterile integrity without chemical intervention, tailored for diverse packaging standards across various products.

Fills and Sterilizes Liquid Foods Efficiently

The AF2000 IMPERIAL Aseptic Filler from JBT is a versatile machine designed for high-speed filling and sterilization of liquid food products. It features a “steam only” sterilization system for the filler heads, eliminating the need for chemicals or sterile gases, ensuring a contamination-free environment. Ideal for juices, vegetable smoothies, and tomato products, it effectively processes products with a pH of less than 4.5. The machine operates efficiently, with working speeds ranging from 5-12 bags per hour for a single head up to 60 bags per hour with the triple head. This system is PLC-controlled, offering a self-diagnostic operational mode for seamless integration into your production line. Engineered to fill pre-sterilized bags of 220 liters or 1,200 liters, its aseptic filling chamber can be opened without losing the aseptic condition. The design supports various packing standards while ensuring sanitation via an automatic Clean-in-Place (CIP) system, facilitating easy maintenance.
