Aseptic Bag Filling Machine

Aseptic Bag Filling Machine Applications

This aseptic bag filling machine is designed for food and beverage products such as fruit and vegetable juices, fruit puree, tomato paste and tea beverages. The product viscosity, sterilization process and target bag format should be reviewed when selecting a configuration.

Components and Configuration

The machine includes an aseptic filling chamber, a work platform, a pneumatic system, a steam system and a control system. The configuration should be matched to the product and packaging requirements.

How the Aseptic Bag Filling Machine Works

Before filling, the machine is pre-sterilized with steam. Sterilized product is then fed to the machine, while the aseptic bag and its spout are connected to the filling chamber and treated according to the validated process. The filling valve opens and an electromagnetic flowmeter measures the product delivered into the bag. Check the spout and filler interface when selecting aseptic bags for juice and fruit puree. Product literature refers to storage for up to one year at normal temperature; actual shelf life depends on the product, validated sterilization, packaging integrity and storage conditions.

Aseptic Bag Filler Features and Capacity

• The machine can be configured with one or two filling heads according to the required output. A double-head configuration supports alternating filling and can reduce interruptions between bags.
• Control options include PLC operation, flow control and PID temperature control.
• Listed bag capacity: single head: 5-200L; double head: 5-200L. Confirm the selected bag and spout fit before ordering.
• Listed maximum filling capacity: single head: 5000L; double head: 8000L. Confirm the time basis and product-specific output with us before specifying a production line.
• Steam protection is used to maintain the aseptic filling chamber under the specified operating conditions.
• Change parts can be selected to accommodate compatible aseptic bag volumes and sizes.
• The listed filling-chamber temperature is 95º C. The required temperature and aseptic conditions must be validated for the specific machine configuration and filling process.
• Liquid or pulp metering and electrical controls support repeatable filling when matched to the product and operating conditions.
• Integration with a plant CIP system should be confirmed during line design.

Aseptic Filling Requirements and Precautions

• Packaging materials and sterilizing agents must meet the applicable process requirements. Handle and store packaging materials according to the validated procedure to help prevent contamination or rejected product.
• Check that the connected UHT system meets the process requirements of the aseptic filling equipment.
• Confirm that the product meets the specified physical, chemical and microbiological criteria before filling.
• Match the CIP system to the filling machine, and follow the user technical manual for pipe welding and valve connections.
• Maintain the required cleanliness conditions in the filling area.
• Where sterile air is used in the filling chamber or for drying packaging film, its cleanliness should be controlled as part of the validated process.
• Design the product pipeline to minimize unnecessary joints, valves, elbows and sharp turns.
