Aseptic dual filling system for PET bottles
Composed of PX and Fillstar FX
A new aseptic dual filling system, suitable for the bottling of both high acid and low acid still beverages containing pulps, fibres and pieces of fruit or cereals with dimensions up to 10x10x10 mm, is available from GEA Procomac. The uniqueness of the system is that the line is composed of two different fillers: the new aseptic piston doser PX for solid particles with set volume from 30 to 150 mL and the volumetric electronic filler Fillstar FX, an industry standard for aseptic beverages filling. After container treatment the filling is realised in two steps: once the solid particles are dosed the clear product is added. The dual fill system requires a two stream process line: one dedicated to the thermal treatment of the pieces and the other to the thermal treatment of the clear liquid. The system is suitable for bloc configuration with both wet and dry sterilisation systems.
