Aseptic filling process, step by step
Aseptic filling means sterilising product and package separately, then joining them inside a sterile zone. Each block below is validated on the customer's product and format.
- 1
Product sterilisation (UHT)
Tubular or plate exchanger, 95–140 °C
Direct or indirect heating to the target lethality, sized on pH, viscosity and particle size of the product.
- 2
Holding tube and cooling
Validated holding time · controlled cooling
The holding tube fixes the sterilising effect; regenerative cooling brings the product to filling temperature while recovering heat.
- 3
Aseptic surge tank
Sterile-air overlay, continuous over-pressure
Decouples steriliser and filler so format changes and short stops do not break the sterile chain.
- 4
Package sterilisation
Steam SIP · H₂O₂ / peracetic · UV
Bottles, cartons, bags or drums are sterilised immediately before filling, with residual peroxide within regulatory limits.
- 5
Sterile filling and sealing
2000–24 000 bph · ISO 5 laminar flow
Volumetric or mass filling inside a HEPA-filtered chamber, capping or sealing under sterile conditions.
- 6
Validation and traceability
Temperature curves, SIP/CIP logs, batch records
Commissioning delivers the thermal validation dossier and shelf-life test protocol: 6 months for juices and UHT milk, up to 24 months for aseptic tomato paste.
Aseptic filling in operation
Sterilisation, sterile filling and downstream packaging: the three blocks that make an aseptic filling line auditable and repeatable.

Technical FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What products can be aseptically filled?
Any commercially sterile product with pH < 4.6 (juices, tomato products, ready sauces) or fully sterilized products (UHT milk, plant-based drinks, liquid coffee, tea).
Which packaging formats does MCF support?
PET (up to 2 L), glass (up to 1 L), brik (200 mL, 500 mL, 1 L), retort pouch, bag-in-box (5 – 20 L), drum (200 L) and IBC (1000 L).
What speed can the filler reach?
From 2000 bph on aseptic drum / IBC lines up to 24 000 bph on high-speed PET and brik lines.
How is the sterile zone maintained?
ISO 5 laminar-flow chamber, HEPA-filtered sterile air, continuous over-pressure and validated SIP cycles before each production run.
Is the machine CE-marked and EHEDG-compliant?
Yes. All aseptic fillers are CE-marked under the EU Machinery Directive and designed following EHEDG hygienic-design guidelines.
What is the typical shelf life achieved?
6 months at ambient temperature for aseptic UHT milk and juices, up to 24 months for tomato paste in aseptic drums, subject to product validation.
