Fruit base processing technology for yoghurt and bakery

Ensure the integrity of fruit preparations while maximizing variety and quality with versatile processing solutions that minimize mechanical and thermal stress on raw ingredients.

Processes and Packages Aseptic Fruit and Dairy Ingredients

The Aseptica Prima from Bertuzzi is an aseptic filler designed specifically for the efficient processing and packaging of fruit preparations and dairy ingredients. This equipment ensures contamination-free environments, incorporating a vacuum-assisted aseptic filling system that handles both batch and continuous operations. Ideal for yoghurt bases, bakery, and confectionery industries, it processes a wide range of products such as apricot puree and coconut cream.

Capable of integrating seamlessly into your production line, the Aseptica Prima supports product transfers using sterile nitrogen or peristaltic pumps for high-viscosity outputs. With adjustable capacities, it ensures optimal throughput and is constructed from materials that enhance both energy efficiency and resistance to corrosion. The unit features a CIP system, ensuring compliance with international food safety standards, and provides ease in cleaning and maintenance.

Benefits

  • Enhances product safety by ensuring sterile packaging in an aseptic environment.
  • Increases operational efficiency through vacuum-assisted transfers for high-viscosity ingredients.
  • Minimizes downtime with a robust CIP system for quick and effective cleaning.
  • Maintains product quality by preventing thermal damage with adjustable steam pressure controls.
  • Offers flexibility in production lines with customizable capacities and integration options.
