Block for aseptic filling

A protected atmosphere for your product The Krones aseptic systems family includes experts for all kinds of different sterilisation methods and products to be filled. One of them is the Contipure AseptBloc. Regardless of whether you are blow moulding, filling or capping, with the Contipure AseptBloc every production step is safely included in an aseptic processing chain. - Preform sterilisation module - Aseptic blow moulder - Aseptic filler and capper - Aseptic filling - Round, square and rectangular PET containers - Standard and lightweight containers - Output: Up to 72,000* containers per hour...

Media module Valve manifold Aseptic filler Aseptic capper Cap sterilisation module Cap sorting and inspection Contipure AseptBloc Central ventilation technology Aseptic blowing module Preform sterilisation module Infrared oven in hygienic design Preform rotary rinser Preform feed system in hygienic design

- Thanks to hygienic design, it is optimal for the Contipure AseptBloc - Variants adjustable depending on the installation position - Completely closed preform feed system - With fan-based air treatment system (FFU) with HEPA filter - Significant reduction in the number of particles inside the preform feed system - Separation of the preform feed system from the existing ambient conditions Contipure AseptBloc

- Compact one-starwheel concept at ground level - Immersion of the rinser lances in the preforms - Blowing out of the particles with pre-filtered and ionised sterile air - At the same time as the particles are blown out: Extraction of the mix of air and dirt - Low space requirement with good accessibility - No unnecessary transfer points as the existing infeed starwheel is used as rotary rinser - Low number of handling parts, quick tool-free change-over - Very good cleaning performance Contipure AseptBloc

- Servo-controlled oven of the Contiform standard series with efficient and pre-filtered preform air cooling system - Option: Tool-free quick-change of the protective plates of the oven heating mandrels - Optimised in terms of energy: - Smaller distances between heaters and longer infrared radiators - No critical control point (CCP) in the oven - Easy operation - No risk of corrosion thanks to the sterilising medium - Handling of preforms made of 100 rPET - No revalidation required if the preforms are changed - Significantly improved hygiene thanks to additional air filters - Reduced change-over...

- The module is between the infrared oven and the aseptic blowing module. - Targeted and directed feed of gaseous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) via nozzles. - This provides an overflow and thus results in simultaneous internal and external preform sterilisation. - 360° treatment for the sterilisation of the complete preform surface at once: inside, outside and neck-finish area - High-performance preform sterilisation up to log 6 - No sterilisation blind spots thanks to three-starwheel concept - No further contact with the preform inner side wall after sterilisation - Particularly suitable for lightweighting:...

- The preforms are transferred to the aseptic blowing module after sterilisation. - The blowing process takes place within a sterile isolator which is protected from its environment by means of a liquid seal system. - The stretching rod never leaves the sterile zone during the entire blowing process. - The blowing process is carried out with pre-filtered sterile air. All components involved in the blowing process can be completely sterilised in a fully automatic process: - Mould -inside and outside surface - Valve block and blowing nozzle - including the high-pressure air channels which, in turn,...

- The appropriate filling valve for the widest range of products - still and carbonated - It is also suitable for beverages with (fruit) pieces with a size of up to 10 x 10 x 10 millimetres - The filler has its own CIP module - thus no separate CIP system is required. - The filling valves are sterilised with steam. - The isolator is sterilised with gaseous H2O2 - a fully dry method. - Handling parts change-over is possible up to a defined output in an automatic way. - Optional: After an intervention into the isolator, there will be an intermediate sterilisation with peracetic acid within 30 minutes....

The key components Cap conveyor Sorting and buffering − The best sorting concept for all caps is selected from a wide range of Krones sorting variants. − One camera inspects the caps after sorting – rejection of inappropriate caps prevents product and bottle losses. − The cap buffer ensures sufficient buffer capacity, – if, for example, the block has to be emptied. Tamper-evident ring Contipure AseptBloc Without damage Vertically interrupted Bent inward

Cap treatment system - Cap blower using ionised air right in front of the unit - Sterilisation by means of gaseous H2O2 - No back-up pressure acting on the caps - no deformation - Clocked feed of the caps on demand: No bottle - no cap - Optimum treatment of the caps - no over-treatment Flat caps and sports caps can be processed with the same handling parts. Particles fall through the perforated plate and are flushed during the cleaning process.

The key componentsAseptic capperTechnical features - Every capping head has its own separate servo drive. - A transfer tunnel separates the sterile area from the outside area. - The proper technique for every cap - overcaps with round bottle possible! - The Krones aseptic capper is always in a hygienic design and meets even the most difficult hygiene requirements. - All drives are outside the isolator. - A liquid seal system seals all of the capper carrousel's rotational movements. - The movements of the capping head are sealed with bellows. - Depending on the type of cap, a chuck-cone capper...

The peripherals Air handling unit In the new, central Krones air handling unit, the entire air treatment system is combined to create one single functional unit. This way, it is no longer necessary to work with a large number of filter fan units which are placed on the machine housing. − All filters and ventilators in one unit − Piping as integrated component of the air handling unit − Centralised exhaust air pipe system − Direct air guidance, no pressure cascade required − HEPA filters easy to sterilise Preliminary filtration HEPA filtration Contipure AseptBloc − Optimum accessibility − Complete...
