From the beginning, the objective of the TERSUS aseptic filler project was to develop a high speed low-acid aseptic packaging system for preformed containers with the following characteristics:
- Incorporates all possible product safety considerations
- Affords the highest level of productivity for the widest range of products
- Clearly defines, minimizes and controls the commercially sterile area
- Provides ease of operation and maintenance
- Reduces resource consumption and physical space requirements

|
 |
- Flexible design eliminates change parts for 4-ounce to 1-liter bottles*
- Bottle size change using a simple preprogrammed recipe in less than 15 minutes*
- Preformed bottles, 4 ounce to 1 liter, up to 42,000 per hour
- Preformed cups up to 1,000 per minute
- Maximum cup filling of 2 Kilograms
- Particulate filling up to 12mm cube
- Simultaneous multiple-flavor filling of bottles and cups
- Multiple options for cup closing with precut foils or rollstock
- Integral cap application systems available
* When the same diameter neck finish for the bottle is maintained. |

- Elimination of dirty main drive chain system
- Bottle and cup filler systems use 90% of the same components
- A central lubrication system is not required
- True modular design with standardized components
- Minimal operator interaction
- Reduced turn-around-time due to a more efficient CIP and SIP system
- Built-in maintenance platforms
- Maintenance parts supplied as kits with detailed maintenance instructions
- Small well-defined sterile zone
- Advanced new linear indexing system to ensure accurate container positioning throughout the machine
|  |
- Less than ½ the floor space of a comparable rotary filler
- One unified linear system for infeed, sterilization, filling, closing, and exit, instead of multiple machines that create unnecessary container transfer (pinch) points

Environmental
Considerations

- Zero water use during production
- Zero steam use
- Reduced consumption of CIP and SIP solutions due to a more efficient machine design and compact aseptic zone
