First, pasteurization renders the product
microbiologically stable. The product is then
filled hot to decontaminate the inner surface
of the container and the closure. At this point,
cooling the container rapidly and immediately
maintains product taste and vitamin content
integrity. As the result of this well-performing
fill technology,
Hot Fill products have a shelf life ranging
from 6 to 12 months,
similar to aseptic fill products.
In contrast to aseptic filling methods, however,
hot filling involves a less rigorous level
of technical training and product preparation.
Hot Fill does not require any chemical decontamination
of the preform, container or closure. Further,
with Hot Fill technology, the stringent filling
conditions that are required by aseptic processes
to avoid any possible re-contamination of the
product or the container during filling and
capping are completely unnecessary.
| ThermoShape™ adds
economy and flexibility |
For the first time ever, Plastipak’s revolutionary
patented ThermoShape™ technology has made it
possible to hot fill lightweight PET containers,
providing customers with product integrity
and cost effectiveness, as well as the luxury
of extensive, brand-building design flexibility.
