Product catalog summary
Introduction
The GEA Aseptic Piston Doser is a new technology developed by GEA Procomac for the aseptic cold dosing of fruits and cereals in still beverages. It is designed for use in PET bottles and can handle solid pieces up to 10 x 10 x 10 mm in size. This system is notable for being the first to use a cold-fill environment for such applications.

Specifications and Features
The Piston Doser PX operates with a cam-driven piston that accurately doses solid particles into PET bottles before liquid filling. It supports dosing volumes from 30 to 150 ml, adjustable via the HMI, and can be modified for different volumes by changing the cylinder diameter. The system is suitable for both High Acid (HA) and Low Acid (LA) beverages.

System Design and Operation
The dual fill system requires two separate process lines for the thermal treatment of solid pieces and clear liquid. The aseptic integrity is maintained with a hygienic seal around the piston, preventing leaks. The system is designed for high-speed dosing, matching production volumes of up to 800 bottles per minute (bpm) with the Fillstar FX.

Benefits and Advantages
  • Aseptic design allows for cold solid particle dosing in aseptic conditions.
  • Automatic dosing adjustment ensures accurate dosing and prevents product wastage.
  • No contact between the filling nozzle and bottle neck, essential for LA beverages.
  • Simple design results in low maintenance requirements.
  • Volumetric measurement eliminates the need for weighing equipment or flow meters.
  • Built-in CIP/SIP and sterile water rinsing enable fully automatic cleaning and sterilization.
  • Compact design with a small footprint and gentle filling process minimizes damage to the final beverage.

Conclusion
The GEA Aseptic Piston Doser offers a reliable and efficient solution for the aseptic cold dosing of solid particles in beverages, with features that enhance accuracy, hygiene, and operational efficiency.

Product loading o :: ■X E P The aseptic integrity of the Piston Doser is maintained with the inclusion of a hygienic seal around the piston which prevents product leaking through to the non-aseptic side. Dosing volume can easily be regulated from 30 to 150 ml by changing the dosing value on the HMI. The stroke of the piston is automatically adjusted by a linear motor. This provides adequate dosing for most products in PET bottles of up to 2 litres. Smaller/Greater dosing volumes may be achieved simply by changing the diameter of the cylinder. The Piston Doser PX is ideal for adding large pieces...
