Aseptic filling system for sensitive beverages
When developing new sensitive beverage products, ensuring sterility during filling and capping is crucial. Traditional methods can introduce contaminants, prolonging time to market and risking product safety.
Sterilize, fill, and cap bottles aseptically
The GEA Aseptic Filling Pilot Plant, available at the GEA Test Center for Aseptic Processing & Filling in Ahaus, Germany, offers a comprehensive solution for aseptic filling. This system sterilizes, fills, and caps bottles in a sterile environment, ensuring product safety. The modular design allows for flexibility, accommodating various bottle shapes and sizes (100 ml to 3 l) and multiple container materials. Utilizing a dry sterilization process with vaporized H2O2, it achieves up to 6 log reduction without water consumption. This system is particularly suited for a wide range of liquid products, including carbonated or still beverages with different acidity levels and particle content. The Fillstar PX aseptic piston doser minimizes particle destruction and maximizes filling accuracy, supporting innovative and premium beverage formulations. Designed for both feasibility trials and full production scale-up studies, the GEA Aseptic Filling Pilot Plant helps reduce the time to market for new beverages.
