Lamican Aseptic Machine output milk products 6000 packages/h Compressed air about 6 bar Format 250 ml Cooling water 3...5 bar, drinking water Filled products Liquid aseptic and non-aseptic products Steam 3...5 bar / 135...150 degrees C Electric power 3 phase, 230/400 V, 50 Hz or 60 Hz C.I.P.-cleaning depends on filled products: water, caustic solution, acid Total connecting load 185 kW Machine weight 12 t Process Pre-printed paperboard is fed into the machine in reel form. The can is formed around a turret where, heated by hot air, the side joint is heat sealed. Attaching the Lid The lid material with the closure mechanism in reel form, is fed into the die-cutting device. The lid is joined to the body, the surface of the seal is activated by hot air and the joint is sealed in the sealing unit. The can is then forwarred in to the filling unit. Sterilising the Can In an aseptic chamber, a precise amount of peroxide steam is sprayed into the can and vaporised by hot air. The sterilised cans are transferred to the stage of product filling. Filling the Can The filling of the can takes place simultaneously in all six lanes in the filling unit through the open bottom of the can. The filling of the can is carried out by using electromagnetic flowmeters to control the filling valves. The can is forwarded from the filling unit to the conveyor belt. The system is equipped with a foam removal system. Inert gas in the head space of the package is used when required. Closing the Can After the can is filled, it is closed by joining heat sealing. The seals are activated by hot air and pressed closed in the sealing unit. Filling Unit The can is forwarded from the filling unit to the conveyor belt. Aseptic Process The aseptic process is an integral part of the packaging machine including: • sterile air system (HEPA-filters) • air pressure control of the process • product handling • C.I.P cleaning system • sterilising of the filling unit
