Aseptic Carton Filling Machine
Aseptic Carton Filling Machine
The Aseptic Carton Filling Machine is designed for the hygienic filling and sealing of UHT milk, flavored milk, fruit juice, and other shelf-stable liquid products into pre-formed carton packages. The machine combines precise filling, controlled product handling, secure package closing, and enclosed hygienic protection in one integrated system.
It is suitable for 200 ml carton packages and can be customized according to the required carton dimensions, product characteristics, and production capacity.
Main Product Description
The Mavi Mak Aseptic Carton Filling Machine provides a complete solution for filling liquid food and beverage products under controlled hygienic conditions.
The machine receives carton packages through the infeed conveyor, transfers them through the enclosed processing area, fills each carton with a controlled product volume, closes the package securely, and delivers the finished cartons to the outfeed conveyor.
The main processing section is protected by stainless-steel frames and transparent safety doors, allowing operators to monitor production while limiting external contact with the critical filling area.
The machine can be integrated with:
- UHT sterilization systems
- Aseptic product tanks
- CIP cleaning systems
- Automatic straw applicators
- Carton packing machines
- Conveyor systems
- Palletizing equipment
Each machine is engineered according to the product, carton format, required capacity, and factory layout.

Operating Process
1. Carton Infeed
Empty carton packages are transferred to the machine through the infeed conveyor in an organized and continuous sequence.
2. Carton Positioning
The cartons are accurately positioned inside the machine before filling.
3. Product Filling
The sterilized product is dosed into each carton through the hygienic filling system.
4. Carton Closing
After filling, the carton is securely closed according to the selected package design.
5. Product Discharge
The finished cartons leave the machine through the outfeed opening at the same conveyor level and continue toward the straw applicator or secondary packaging system.
Hygienic and Aseptic Design
The critical filling area is enclosed to reduce external contamination risks and maintain controlled production conditions.
The machine is designed with:
- Smooth stainless-steel surfaces
- Hygienic product pathways
- Transparent protective doors
- Easy-access maintenance points
- Controlled carton movement
- Reduced product retention areas
- Compatibility with CIP-cleanable upstream systems
The required aseptic protection level is defined according to the product, packaging material, sterilization process, and customer URS.
Control and Automation
The machine is operated through an industrial PLC and HMI touchscreen control system.
The operator can monitor and adjust:
- Filling parameters
- Production speed
- Carton transfer sequence
- Machine operating status
- Alarms and warnings
- Production counters
- Cleaning and maintenance functions
- Product and carton format recipes
Schneider Electric components can be used for reliable electrical control and easier international technical support.
