Aseptic Packaging
  • Aseptic cold fill bottles are manufactured with enhanced contamination prevention features.
  • An aseptic filler is specifically designed for that function and is normally close-coupled to the output of the bottle sterilizing unit.
  • Freshly-blown bottles are sterilized just before filling with pre-sterilized product.  PAA or H2O2 sterilization are typical and widely used
  • Closures are separately sterilized before application; a heat-sealed sterile foil seal may go on before the closure.
  • Preform additives for enhanced package performance can generally be used with aseptic blow-rinse-fill operations.
Heat Set Blow Molding
With consumer shift from many traditional beverages, stimulated by larger brand marketing strategies, there has been a major shift to PET for juice products.

Juice products offer a unique challenge either for Hot Fill (heat set) or Aseptic (cold fill) as dictated by owner strategy and convention.  In either case the engineering team at Turnkey can bring solutions for complete vertical integration.
Blowing process looks the same but it is not the same:
  • More controlled/slower stretching – enhanced “stretch induced crystallization”
  • Bottle is retained against hot mold walls 250 - 305⁰ F (versus ~ 50⁰F chilled water for typical cold set blow molding) – producing “thermally induced  crystallization.”
  • Air Cooling thru the stretch rod with fresh 10-bar air to stabilize shape is required also.

Picture
Turnkey has specific expertise in all aspects of utility calculation and performance criterion, working with all major manufacturers globally. In addition to properly sizing and matching each components performance for optimum efficiency, Turnkey’s team of engineers can supply - full line design - incorporating the latest in operational strategy and minimizing operators and consumable movement.

In addition to the traditional vertical integration model of blowing direct-to-fill, Turnkey has been successful in helping many customers take the next step to full vertical integration with in-house injection molding and complete support systems.These systems are fully integrated into a seamless operation yielding additional cost savings.

The final step to autonomy is to manufacture in-house closures. Your Turnkey team has significant experience in sourcing the very best products and equipment based on projected volumes. Closures can be manufactured for in-house needs only or can also accommodate needs of additional regional facilities.

In all cases, Turnkey offers a thorough knowledge of utility equipment options available including, supply and engineering of: HP Compressors, Water Filtration, LP Compressors, Chillers, Cooling Towers, Pump Assemblies, Detailed Piping Design and additional needs that may be required.
