Maximize Shelf Life. Minimize Cost.
The Smart Ultra-Clean Solution for Cold Chain Beverages.

Unlock 45-90 days of shelf life for your fresh milk, yogurt, and NFC juices. Our Ultra-clean (ESL) system bridges the gap between standard filling and expensive aseptic lines—delivering Log 3 safety at a fraction of the investment.

The Market Shift: From “Long-Life” to “Fresh-Life”

The global beverage market is changing. Consumers are turning away from preservatives and UHT treatment, demanding fresher, natural, and clean-label products. However, traditional hygienic filling only offers 7-10 days of shelf life—limiting your sales radius.

The Solution? Ultra-Clean Technology.
By creating an ISO 5 (Class 100) filling environment and sterilizing packaging materials, you can extend your Cold Chain distribution to 6-8 weeks. This allows you to reach regional markets while maintaining the “fresh” premium taste that commands a higher price point.

Automatic Ultra-Clean Filling Monoblock (ESL Series)

Engineered for sensitive beverages, our ESL series integrates Sterilizing, Rinsing, Filling, and Capping into one compact monoblock. It is specifically designed to handle low-acid (pH > 4.6) and high-acid products distributed under cold chain conditions.

Key Applications:

  • Dairy: Pasteurized Milk, Drinking Yogurt, Flavored Milk.
  • Plant-Based: Oat Milk, Almond Milk, Soy Milk.
  • Juice & Tea: NFC Juice, Cold Brew Tea, Functional Waters.

Engineered for Hygiene: How We Guarantee Log 3

1. The “Clean Box” Environment
A built-in HEPA filtration system covers the entire process zone, maintaining a positive pressure ISO 5 (Class 100) environment. This isolates the product from airborne contaminants effectively.

2. Packaging Decontamination
We utilize advanced VHP (Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide) or Wet PAA sterilization systems for both empty bottles and caps, achieving a verified Log 3 to Log 4 reduction on packaging surfaces.

3. Contactless Precision Filling
Equipped with Endress+Hauser Magnetic Flow Meters. The filling nozzle never touches the bottle neck, eliminating cross-contamination risks while ensuring volume accuracy of ±0.2%.

4. Closed-Loop CIP/SIP
Say goodbye to manual cleaning. Our system features Automatic Sliding Dummy Cups that create a sealed loop for Acid, Alkali, and Hot Water circulation, leaving no hygienic dead corners.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: How do you verify the hygiene performance?
    A: We follow a “Double-Verification” process. Before shipping (FAT), we simulate production. After installation (SAT), we validate the machine using biological indicators to ensure it meets the agreed Log Reduction standards before handover.
  • Q: Can I run different bottle sizes on this machine?
    A: Yes. The machine uses Neck-Handling technology. If the neck finish remains the same, no height adjustment is needed. For different diameters, our tool-less quick-change parts allow switchovers in under 45 minutes.
  • Q: Do I need a clean room facility?
    A: Not necessarily. The machine has its own internal ISO 5 environment (“Clean Box”). It can be installed in a standard hygienic food-grade workshop (ISO 8 or similar), saving you significant construction costs.
