Shibuya Hoppmann dry aseptic and ESL filling for dairy

Shibuya Hoppmann, an aseptic filling and automation systems provider, says its dry aseptic and ESL filling solutions are designed to meet the diverse production needs of beverage and dairy manufacturers. The platforms combine microbial control, high-speed performance, and hygienic system design for safe, efficient, and sustainable packaging for sensitive, shelf-stable, and high-viscosity products.

The Dry Aseptic Filling Decontamination System utilises dry hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) vapor to sterilise both the internal and external surfaces of PET or HDPE bottles. The aseptic filling system achieves <0.5 ppm residuals, meets FDA standards, and supports clean-label formulations for low-acid beverages like teas, dairy, flavoured waters, and nutraceutical drinks. Capable of handling bottles from 60-3,800ml at speeds up to 1,200 bpm (72,000 bph), the system features net weight filling (0.3g @ 1 sigma), 100% servo-controlled capping, and rapid sterile changeovers to ensure operational continuity without breaking sterility, the company says.

For dairy, plant-based, and extended shelf-life (ESL) applications, the ESL & Dairy Filling System supports both H₂O₂ and peracetic acid (PAA) bottle decontamination and accommodates a range of low- and high-acid products including UHT milk, drinkable yogurts, smoothies, oat beverages and protein shakes. A unique multi-viscosity filling valve supports up to 1,000cps and enables seamless transitions between product types without thermal degradation. The system handles particulates up to 10mm and enables over 200 hours of continuous aseptic operation without CIP/SIP interruption.

Both systems offer 100% data collection and real-time monitoring of filling and capping operations, providing traceability and in-line quality assurance. To maintain sterile integrity, they use advanced isolation and sealing technologies tailored to high-speed environments. Their streamlined architecture supports tool-less changeovers and sanitary design principles that reduce cleaning time and simplify maintenance, ensuring consistent uptime even in demanding, multi-SKU production settings.
