Krones Contipure AseptBloc compact version

Contipure AseptBloc is a block solution for asceptic fillers that provides a sterile process chain from preform sterilisation to sealing. While previously used primarily in the medium and high output range, there is now also a compact version that can be used to fill outputs as low as 8000 containers per hour.

The small footprint of the compact block solution contains a four-cavity blow-moulding machine and a filler with a pitch circle of 1080 mm — and currently only requires around 100 m² of installation space. It incorporates a Modulfill Asept filler, enabling up to 20,000 containers per hour to be aseptically produced, filled and sealed.

Suitable for juice, milk or plant-based milk alternatives, the compact version is also suitable for a wide range of different product categories. Whether distributed at ambient temperature or within the cold chain, whether in the low- or high-acid range, whether with or without chunks of up to 5 x 5 x 5 mm — all non-carbonated beverages such as juice or dairy products can be processed on the system. As the preform and not the bottle is sterilised first, lightweight containers can also be used.
