GEA Procomac aseptic technology
GEA Procomac microbiological isolator technology is used on the
bloc that sterilizes rinses and fills. This achieves strict quality control in
the working environment and ensures an easy line management for operators, and
avoids the need for plant operators to use a dedicated ‘clean room’.
Every step in the chain of events that occur on the aseptic filling
process is monitored for maximum security. GEA Procomac designs, manufactures
and supplies only the highest quality process machines that are needed for
utilities, sterile water and sterilizing solution management. Product
preparation (e.g. syrup rooms) and end-of-line equipment can be supplied on a
‘turnkey’ basis. This achieves perfect integration of the key line components
and ensures a smooth operation for the whole process.
GEA Procomac’s
turnkey aseptic line performance is guaranteed. The maximum defectiveness rate
on the final product is very low: 1 in 100000 bottles for high acid teas and
infusions and 1 in 10000 for low acid teas and infusions.
The final
product quality is superior to other technologies thanks to flash
pasteurization, which maintains all the taste of the product.
