EXHIBITIONS & EVENTS
GEA Procomac staff will be present on GEA Group stand at the next Anuga FoodTec exhibition (Hall 4.1 Stand G 010/H029) in order to boost the new Whitec™ filling technology for dairy products (fresh milk, ESL milk and UHT milk) in PET bottles.
GEA Procomac designs, manufactures and installs complete aseptic and traditional filling lines for juices, teas, isotonics, soft drinks, water and dairy products in PET bottles.
GEA Procomac is identified as market leader for sensitive beverages filling and is generally regarded as the best option for those markets that require a clean filling environment.
Procomac joined GEA group in April 2007: thanks to an integration with core GEA Process technologies, GEA Procomac adds value to its filling technology in terms of reliability and technological innovation; it can also act as main contractor for big projects and guarantee the performance of third party machines integrated in the complete line.
The synergy between GEA Process product preparation and treatment technology and GEA Procomac’s outstanding experience in beverage filling, has led to developing technologically advanced lines for milk and milk based products in PET bottles.
The latestprocess and filling line designed for the dairy sector was installed in OAO Kingiseppsky Molochny Kombinat production facility, 100 kilometres from Saint Petersburg (Russia). KMK’s wide product range includes skimmed and semi-skimmed ESL (Extended Shelf Life) milk; Kefir (fermented sour milk) with 3.2% and 0.5% fat rate; flavoured drinking yoghurt in 0.5 litre and 1.0 litre containers. These products are all distributed through the cold chain.
In view of this recent achievement, GEA Procomac staff will be present on GEA Group stand at the next Anuga FoodTec exhibition (Hall 4.1 Stand G 010/H029) in order to boost the new Whitec™ filling technology for dairy products (fresh milk, ESL milk and UHT milk) in PET bottles.
Whitec™ technology consists of FDA-compliant LA shelf stable applications, different container and cap treatment options according to required shelf life and versatile filling solutions, such as the 3A certificate volumetric electronic Fillstar FX filler with magnetic flowmeters: thanks to the absence of contact between the filling nozzle and the bottle neck and to the hygienic design, it is the ideal solution not only for fresh milk filling in PET bottles, but also for dairy products with extended shelf life (ESL milk and UHT milk). Key features of the Fillstar FX filler areautomatic dummy bottle insertion for closed-loop CIP and SIP cycles and product path sterilization with steam.
Fillstar FX can be integrated in Synchro blowing/filling/capping system.
