SPACE Aseptic Fille

Our SPACE (Spout-less, Pouch, Automatic, Compact & Ecological) Aseptic Filler is our newest solution for aseptic filling.

  • Spout-less: With removal of the spout from the pouches, the opening size is increased, enabling aseptic particulate filling as well as liquids.
  • Pouch: Pouches ranging in size from three and 10 litres can be filled.
  • Aseptic: Now Aseptic processing can be applied to institutional package sizes with significant package cost savings
  • Compact: The SPACE Aseptic Filler’s aseptic zone is limited to the filling chamber, resulting in fewer critical control points, easier operation and minimal floor area.
  • Ecological: Eliminating the spout results in reduced plastic packaging material, and the smaller
    aseptic area reduces the volume of chemical disinfectant required.
