Container Sterilization For Aseptic Filling

GEA offers both WET and DRY sterilization technology for any PET preform, for any PET/HDPE bottle and for any kind of closure allowing filling of beverages with different pH on the same system.

In both WET and DRY technology a microbiological isolator equipped with intervention gloves provides a physical barrier between the external environment and the microbiological controlled area, where blowing, filling and capping processes are performed.

GEA Wet PAA technology for bottle and caps sterilization acts on both internal and external bottle and cap surfaces with a single PAA solution and a strong combined chemical and mechanical action.Sterilization treatment is performed using penetrating nozzles. The efficiency of each nozzle is automatically checked by a ’Smart Sensor’ that ensures proper sterilization of each bottle.GEA WET PAA FDA approved technology can be

applied to any bottle or closure with almost no limit on material, shape and size.
