Tetra Pak® Aseptic Tank VD for ESL production Working principle • Secures highest possible ESL-product quality Tetra Pak Aseptic Tank is sterilized by steam at a minimum temperature of 125°C for a period of time. It is then cooled by water circulating through the cooling jacket. Finally, a sterile water flush cools the tank and the filling line down to product temperature. After cooling, sterile air is fed into the tank to empty the tank and filling line. • Enables control of product temperature • Minimize downstream microbiological growth • Full integration in our processing and packaging ESL line Application Tetra Pak ® Aseptic Tank is a fully automated aseptic tank used for intermediate storage of low-acid food products under aseptic conditions. Based on the proven benefits of Tetra Pak Aseptic Tank, this solution offers a unit designed to meet the specific needs of ESL applications.
