Aseptic storage tank for beverage industry

Ensure product sterility with advanced aseptic storage that compensates for filler micro stops and maintains pressure to prevent contamination.

Sterilizes and Stores Beverages Aseptically

The EASY.ATK aseptic buffer tank from A Due S.p.A. is designed to seamlessly integrate into your production line, bridging the gap between pasteurization and filling processes. This high-capacity stainless steel tank, available in AISI 304 and AISI 316, ensures your beverage operations remain uninterrupted by compensating for filler micro-stops. By maintaining a constant overpressure using a nitrogen-steam panel and featuring cooling jackets, EASY.ATK preserves product sterility while resisting infiltration. Its automatic pressurization control system adjusts to recipe parameters, ensuring consistent output quality. Applicable across diverse liquid products, such as juices, flavored waters, and plant-based beverages, this aseptic storage solution adheres to PED standards, offering robust and reliable performance in demanding environments. With optional add-ons like magnetic stirrers and dedicated CIP, this versatile tank facilitates efficient cleaning and maintenance, enhancing your production capabilities.

Benefits
