Hot fill gravity filler for beverages
In beverage production, maintaining high hygiene standards and precise filling levels is crucial, especially for hot fill processes. Challenges include minimizing product recirculation, controlling foaming, and ensuring easy cleaning without compromising efficiency.
Optimize hot fill processes
The Fillstar HF from GEA is a gravity filling system specifically designed for hot fill applications. This filler includes an Advanced Recirculation Control system that minimizes product recirculation to under 10%, even at high filling temperatures. The dual speed filling and pneumatic valve control ensure minimal turbulence and foaming, while keeping the product at optimal temperatures. The specialized filling valve eliminates the need for dummy bottles during CIP cleaning, facilitated by a closed loop within the valve. The system is available in Proclean and CC versions, offering high hygiene with sterile air flow or bottle and cap sterilization for low acid products.
Benefits
- Reduces product recirculation to under 10%
