Hygienic filling system for short shelf life milk
Optimize your cold-chain distribution with a filling system engineered for frequent product changeovers and minimal waste, designed to maintain product integrity during the packaging of sensitive and short shelf life beverages.
Fills and Processes Cold-Chain Milk and Beverages
The GEA Aerobloc Filling System Fresh is engineered to meet the needs of dairy producers and beverage manufacturers by providing an efficient solution for filling cold-chain distributed milk and sensitive beverages. Featuring the Fillstar DX Aero filling module, this system facilitates low-to-medium speed production with swift product changeovers and minimal waste. It integrates seamlessly into existing lines with its modular design, allowing for configurations such as PET stretch-blow molding and HDPE neck trimming. The process occurs in a hygienic cabin under sterile air pressure, ensuring a clean filling environment. Options like load cell or flow meter are available for precise weight or volumetric filling, catering to diverse product requirements. The integration of air rinser modules and the option for embedded cleaning units streamline maintenance and ensure compliance with sanitary standards, making it ideal for products like fresh milk, flavored milk, and protein shakes.
