The requirements for a beverage filling machine for juice are diverse and depend heavily on the juice type (clarified, NFC, with pulp), acidity, and desired shelf life. Ace-Filling offers tailored solutions for each scenario. For shelf-stable juices that do not require refrigeration, a hot-fill machine is mandatory. This system pasteurizes the juice, fills it at high temperature (85-96°C) into heat-resistant containers, and then cools the bottles to create a preserving vacuum. The machinery must be built with thermal-resistant materials and include a cooling tunnel. For cold-filled juices intended for refrigerated distribution (e.g., NFC - Not From Concentrate), a cold-fill aseptic or clean-fill system is used. This technology involves sterilizing the juice and the packaging material separately using methods like flash pasteurization and H2O2 or peracetic acid sterilization for bottles and caps, then filling and sealing in a sterile environment. This preserves more fresh flavor and nutrients. For viscous juices with high pulp content, a piston filler is often the best choice, as it volumetrically dispenses product without damaging the pulp particles. Ace-Filling's juice fillers are designed with CIP systems for easy cleaning to prevent cross-contamination between batches and are configurable to handle the specific thermal and viscosity requirements of each unique juice product, ensuring quality, safety, and extended shelf life.
