AEB has discussed in prior blogs and at conferences the potential for using compact electron beam emitters for sterilizing the interior of PET Bottles.  This breakthrough in electron beam technology enables a chemical free, room temperature alternative to traditional approaches of sterilizing bottles for Aseptic Packaging. 

 Please watch this short video of "In the Bottle" electron beam sterilization taken in our applications lab. 

Please visit AEB at the upcoming Novapack 2009 Conference, February 18-20th in Ft Lauderdale, FL.

Two commments: 
 
1. I have been unable to watch the video. Please help. 
 
2. How much would this technology cost in comparison to current technology for sterilsing PET in aseptic machines e.g.oxonia rinse, followed by inversion and a sterile water rinse.

The capital cost of an EB based system should be on the same order of magnitude as a chemical based system. The EB equipment is more complex, but the overall size of the line will be smaller. 
 
 
 
The main advantage is that EB will have a much lower operating cost and have less of an environmental footprint.

Is it possib to use aeb for rinsed pet bottles in beverage line if so where tomount it ? and how many units are needed for line of speed ofpet bottles rated at 200 b/miinute if possible to know the cost

The milk is using aseptic canning technique and need aseptic diaphragm valve.  
 
The aseptic diaphragm valve from aomivalves.com is a product which has both good quality and price. It has the following features: 
 
1. The operating method is flexible enough. It can be remote controlled by a pneumatic actuator or by smart controller, or manually operated by a handle. 
 
2. The material is meeting an aseptic criterion. The Metal material is using wetted 316L (DIN-1.4404) forged. The Seal material is using PTFE/EPDM. All seal materials comply with FDA 177.2600. 
 
3. The working temperature serves the needs. Its continuous working temperature range is -20°C ~ +135°C (PTFE/EPDM). And its sterilization temperature is 150°C (Max 20min. While the FDA only means not under 140°C). 
 
4. It internal surface polishing technology is electronic polish. 
 
5. Its connection method is mainly welding, which conforms to DIN 11866 standards series 1 and series 3.  
 
6. The structure feature can be customized. 
 
7. The price is very cheap.
