Aseptic storage tank for beverage industry
In beverage production, maintaining the sterility of products during intermediate storage before packaging is challenging. Fluctuations and brief pauses in packing lines can lead to contamination risks.
Ensures sterile intermediate storage for beverages
The EASY.ATK, offered by A Due, is an aseptic storage solution designed to maintain the sterility of beverages during intermediate storage phases. Constructed from stainless steel AISI 304 and AISI 316, it comes in a range of capacities from 2,000 to 40,000 liters. The tank operates as a buffer between the pasteurizer and the filler, compensating for micro stops in the filler without compromising sterility. Sanitized and sterilized with steam at 140°C, the tank is kept overpressurized with sterile gases from the nitrogen-steam panel to prevent contamination. The automatic pressurization control system maintains a pressure greater than 200 millibars. Its external cooling jackets prevent product contamination, and it complies with PED standards to withstand absolute vacuum and sterilization pressures. Optional accessories such as magnetic drag stirrers, a dedicated CIP, and a stand-alone electric panel enhance its functionality.
