Aseptic Combi Predis

Highly safe processing

The Sidel Aseptic Combi Predis is designed to ensure food safety, product integrity and a longer shelf life for sensitive products without using preservatives. It is built according to hygienic design guidelines from the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG), and available with 3A configuration compliance for liquid dairy applications. 

• Low preform bio-burden level due to integrated blow-fill-cap configuration
• Easier decontamination, due to preform's smaller surface and smooth shape
• High level of decontamination - up to Log 6
• Small aseptic zone - reduced risk of contamination and fewer critical parameters
• No need for sterilisable blow-moulder - dry H₂O₂ preform decontamination occurs before oven, preventing recontamination
• No water usage, no microorganic growth
• H₂O₂ residue within bottle ≤ 0.5 ppm
• Safe and accurate filling - membrane-free magnetic filling, with flow meter control
• Beverage remains safe in case of extended or emergency stop
• Safe capping managed by mechanical or brushless capper
• Excellent microorganic protection - no aluminium foil required with plastic caps, even with UHT milk
• Efficient external decontamination - more powerful UV lamps for faster, more efficient process

Easy operation

Our competitive decontamination solution ensures process and production simplicity.

• Integrated single-operator configuration
• Oven synergy for high-performance processing - chemical, heat and UV
• Safe, simple and fast changeovers that maintain sterility - mould changeover times reduced to
  1 minute each
• Easy to maintain - compact and accessible design, with fewer components exposed to chemicals

The highest aseptic bottling uptime available

Boosting the continuous production time of your aseptic production, the Sidel Aseptic Combi Predis offers maximum productivity and efficiency:

• 100% aseptic filling environment with continuous production run of 200 hours between cleaning and sterilisation cycles
• High productivity - up to 2,500 b/h/m
• Mechanical efficiency of 96%
• Reduced downtime for mould changeovers - only 3 hours for cleaning and sterilisation between bottle-to-bottle productions
• Longer equipment lifespan - components are subjected to less stress over fewer cleaning and sterilisation cycles

High production flexibility

Our aseptic output range spans from 10,000 to 60,000 bottles per hour, at production rates up to 2,500 bottles per hour per mould, and is suitable for multiple end product possibilities: 

• All sensitive beverages filled, high- or low-acidity, including those with pulp - particle filling capability up to 6 x 6 x 6 mm
• Suitable for beverages distributed at either ambient temperature or cold chain
• Same filling valve for dairy, juice and teas
• Bottle formats from 200 mL to 3 L with any bottle shape, round or square
• Dual-speed filling - streamlined circuit for recipe optimisation
• Intelliblower^TM - self-regulation of blow-moulding for top bottle quality and uniformity

Cost-efficient and sustainable

Compared to traditional aseptic filling systems, the Sidel Aseptic Combi Predis offers optimal cost-efficiency and environmental footprint:

• No use of water and almost no chemical use for preform decontamination: H₂O₂ < 0.7 L per hour
• At least 10 times reduction in consumption compared with other dry preform decontamination systems
• Unlimited bottle
• Up to 30% reduction in production costs due to single-operator system Unlimited bottle lightweighting potential
