Note: Technical values are indicative for this A3/Flex configuration and should be confirmed during inspection/FAT.

Advanced Automation & Control Systems

The A3/Flex platform features OEM PLC-based control with a touchscreen HMI for recipe handling, alarms, and diagnostics. Motion control synchronizes forming, filling, and sealing cycles to maintain aseptic integrity and packaging quality at high speeds. Typical capabilities include:

• Recipe management for UHT milk, juices, and beverage variants
• Integrated process supervision and event/alarm logs
• I/O provisions for upstream/downstream line devices
• Recommended verification prior to start-up: PLC functions, valve actuation, pump performance, and seal integrity

Production Line Integration Capabilities

This aseptic carton filler integrates efficiently within a used bottling line or new beverage production layout:

• Upstream: packaging material feed and sterilization modules as per OEM design
• Downstream: conveyors to accumulation, straw/cap applicators, case packers, palletizers
• Utilities/process: interfaces for CIP/SIP connection to plant systems, sterile air, water, and steam
• Controls: standard digital/analog I/O and fieldbus-ready architecture depending on configuration

Ideal for second hand industrial packaging projects requiring aseptic carton formats and stable high-speed operation.

Machine Condition & Maintenance History

• Condition: used, currently in storage
• Approximate machine hours: ≈ 30,000
• Operational note: continuous production achievable with proper preventive maintenance
• Recommended checks before commissioning: pumps, aseptic valves, PLC functionality, elastomers and seals

Routine inspection, replacement of wear parts, and validation of aseptic barriers are advised prior to restart.

Operational Performance & Versatility

• Product scope: UHT milk, juice, and shelf-stable beverages
• Format: Tetra Brik Aseptic 1000 ml (Base) for high-demand retail SKUs
• Aseptic process: designed for sterile forming, filling, and sealing of cartons
• Changeover: recipe-based adjustments within the 1000 ml Base format (mechanical checks required)

Combines packaging efficiency with aseptic reliability, supporting consistent product quality and extended shelf life in carton packaging.

Installation Requirements & Site Preparation

• Footprint and clearance: allow for 7 × 3 m footprint and ≈ 4.5 m height; provide additional maintenance/operational access
• Flooring: level industrial floor rated for ≈ 7,000 kg plus dynamic loads
• Electrical: 400 V, 50 Hz, 3-ph supply sized for up to ≈ 50 kW
• Compressed air: dry, oil-free air at 6–8 bar with adequate flow
• Water/steam: connections per OEM for sterilization and utility services (≈ 0.5–1.0 m³/h)
• Environment: controlled hygienic conditions; aseptic room or segregated area recommended for carton sterilization and filling
• Process integration: CIP/SIP tie-ins, drains, and ventilation per plant standards

Safety Standards & Compliance Certification

The A3/Flex design typically includes guarding and interlocked access points aligned with OEM safety concepts for industrial packaging machinery. For this unit:

• Safety verification: buyer to confirm compliance with applicable local standards (e.g., CE/OSHA) during inspection
• Documentation: operator/technical manuals and specific safety certificates are not currently listed; availability to be confirmed
• Commissioning: perform risk assessment, functional safety tests, and validation of emergency stops/interlocks prior to production

This Tetra Pak aseptic filler is a robust choice for beverage production facilities expanding or upgrading a used bottling line, delivering reliable 7,000 packs/hour performance in Tetra Brik Aseptic 1000 ml Base format.
