NEW aseptic filling technology
GEA Procomac, specialists in aseptic filling technology for PET containers, has received a letter of non-objection (LNO) from the US FDA, for aseptic filling systems for low acid shelf-stable products
The F1000 is proven technology - it's just bigger than any previous rotary atomiser.
Rotary atomisers are reliable, flexible, easy to use and very low maintenance.
They can also handle a wide range of feed materials such as solutions, suspensions, emulsions and pumpable pastes.
The F1000 will find its niche in heavy-duty chemical applications that require very high throughput.
Using the F1000 will allow designers to achieve the necessary processing capacity with a single unit thereby significantly simplifying the plant design, reducing maintenance costs and making the best possible use of the space available.
Within flue gas desulphurisation the development of the F1000 enables Niro to design Spray Dryer Absorbers large enough to handle the flue gas from a 450 MWe coal fired power plant in a single absorber module.
