Sterilization blowing-filling-capping machine ABF 1.2

preform

Suitable for both high and low acid operations, the ABF 1.2 combines an aseptic blow molding module with aseptic filler and capper modules, and features a hydrogen peroxide-based sterilization technology for preforms and caps. The ABF 1.2 is the latest evolution of the world’s first rotary aseptic blow molding machine with an integrated aseptic filler and capper. It’s designed to sterilize the preform with hydrogen peroxide when leaving the oven, then blow the preforms with sterile air in an aseptic environment and maintain this sterility throughout the filling and capping process. The preforms are sterilized as soon as they leave the oven, where they are heated to optimize their thermal profiling, minimize energy consumption and the use of the sterilizing agent. The internal and external surfaces of the preforms are treated with vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) using a robust, controlled and condensation-free process to minimize residue values and achieve a 6 log decontamination performance. After the sterilization process, the preforms enter the sterile zone – where the aseptic blowing wheel is located – and are blown with sterile air supplied through a filtered circuit that includes a dedicated VHP sterilization system.
