We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Aseptic",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Processingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Novel spring seal technology for PTFE valves from
Millipore, which we summarised at the time by saying "Millipore Corporation announces the launch of aseptic valves for pharmaceutical use now available with PTFE diaphragms".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release The 10 key benefits of robot systems for SMEs from
ABB Robotics: "ABB Robotics has designed and developed a robot-based application solution for pump manufacturer Alfa Laval, and now offers a presentation listing the 10 key benefits of robot systems for SMEs".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Tetra Pak
- take a look at Global liquid dairy consumption at all time high
which says: "New Tetra Pak figures, released for World Osteoporosis Day on 20 October, show global liquid dairy products consumption is projected to hit an all time high in 2007, at 242B Litres, up 5B on 2006".
Take a look also at the news release from Kest Technology AB, Revolutionary aseptic vessel / pipework connector,
as well as Quick-strip pumps for hygienic applications from Pump Engineering,
and Tetra Pak opens Euro100M plant in Russia from Tetra Pak.
