The design
Benefits to you
Triple protection
The all-round treatment with gaseous H2O2 sterilises the entire preform surface at once, both the inside and the neck area on the outside.
Gentle preform treatment
The sterilisation of the preforms hardly leaves any residues: This is because the surface enlarges by many times and the residues of the sterilisation medium are diluted accordingly.
High availability
The entire block is in production for 168 hours non-stop and only two and a half hours later is ready to start again.
Proof of safety
In the proof of concept, the AseptBloc DN has proven that it meets the requirements of the FDA criteria for filling low-acid products.
Microbiological safety
During the operation, the system does not consume any water. Therefore, microbiological organisms have no living space whatsoever.
Slim peripherals
The block does not need any sterile UHT nor a hygiene centre.
Pinpoint production
Filling to the last drop: The system uses the remaining product quantity in order to calculate exactly how many more PET containers and caps are still to be sterilised.
Fully-automatic change-over
Handling parts change-over at the filler and the capper can be performed up to a defined output without any manual interference.
