Friday 20. February 2009 - OYSTAR Gasti: Contitherm 123 fill and seal machine capable of filling up to 28,000 cups aseptically

With a continuous capacity of up to 28,000 cups per hour, the Contitherm 123 from OYSTAR Gasti (Schwäbisch Hall) is one of the fastest machines available for filling pre-formed cups with products with long shelf lives.
The name Contitherm 123 is derived from the principle of continuous operation. It fills cups with one or more layers of sterile products without stopping and starting. These products include yoghurts, desserts, cream, and milk-based drinks, which then make their way to supermarket refrigerator cabinets.
OYSTAR Gasti’s aseptic technology plays a crucial part in the filling process: Cups and lids are sterilized using H2O2. Compressed sterile air is used in the entire filling area, from the cup drying station to the sealing station, to prevent recontamination through exposure to ambient air.
The Contitherm 123 can be shipped in two variations, Hygienic and Ultraclean, allowing it to live up to the highest hygiene requirements.
In 2009, OYSTAR Gasti will deliver three high performance Contitherm 123 machines to Saudi Arabian dairy company Almarai. Other OYSTAR companies are also involved in the order from the Middle East’s largest milk processing company: OYSTAR Benhil and OYSTAR Hassia will deliver machines for packing butter and making portions of butter, while OYSTAR Erca-Formseal will supply a form, fill and seal machine for filling containers with cream cheese.
