FILLING SYSTEM FOR SENSITIVE BEVERAGES
The GEA Whitebloc AERO is engineered for ESL milk-based drinks and sensitive, cold chain distributed beverages. Its hygienic cabin, maintained with overpressure sterile air, provides full accessibility and easy cleaning while ensuring an optimal balance between decontamination performance and operating cost, according to the company. The two phase, starwheel-based process sprays bottles with H₂O₂ and then flushes them with hot sterile air. Available as a standalone unit or integrated with PET stretch blow molding, it includes a compact skid for H₂O₂ preparation and sterile air filtration. The Whitebloc AERO delivers up to 3 log container decontamination for reliable ESL production, the company states.
