ESL BOTTLING SYSTEM
GEA said it launched its Whitebloc Filling System Aero, which is specifically designed for bottling extended-shelf-life (ESL) beverages. The Whitebloc Aero meets the specific needs of producers of ESL beverages, including simplicity, efficiency, reliability, practicality, sustainability, flexibility and the lowest possible total cost of ownership. Whitebloc Aero’s design is optimized for the treatment time required in ESL applications; this allows bottle decontamination with dry hydrogen peroxide and subsequent activation with warm air to be performed on a single carousel, keeping the layout as compact as possible. The machine can achieve a wide range of decontamination targets, depending on the required level of product sensitivity and shelf life for both high- and low-acid products. Equipment cleaning is fast, cost-effective and flexible thanks to the ability to choose between integrating an existing fluid cleaning system or choosing a dedicated cleaning process skid unit embedded with the GEA Whitebloc Aero.
