Aseptic filling system for milk-based drinks

Sterilizes, Bottles, and Caps Liquid Products

The Whitebloc Aseptic Filling System from GEA is engineered to address the rigorous demands of aseptic bottling for dairy and beverage industries. This system stands out for its hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-based sterilization technology, providing an efficient solution for preserving the shelf life of sensitive beverages like UHT milk, plant-based milk, and probiotic drinks. It processes up to 48,000 bottles per hour, integrating seamlessly into high-speed production lines with automatic bottle changeover and minimal downtime.

Featuring PLC control and real-time monitoring, the system guarantees sterilization efficiency through its ‘Smart Sensor’ technology, which ensures precise treatment of every bottle. Designed for versatility, it handles both HDPE and PET containers, compatible with varied bottle and cap types. By eliminating the need for water rinsing, it achieves water conservation while maintaining up to 6 log bacteria reduction. The incorporation of VHP (Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide) for cap and foil sterilization furthers its comprehensive sterilization capabilities. The system is enclosed in a microbiological isolator that maintains hygiene with sterile air overpressure to prevent contamination, ensuring ease of cleaning and maintenance while supporting customization and engineering support tailored to specific production needs.
