Description of Production Process
According to configuration proposal, through air conveyor, bottles are feed to water rinsing, filling, capping 3-in1 monoblock. Bottles are rinsed by sanitizer and sterile water, filled with the product material, then conveyed to downstream packing system by conveyor after capping. In downstream packing, first, the bottles are dried by the air-blow drier, then production date and mark are printed on the bottles, then sleeve labeling and shrinking. After light inspection, the eligible bottles are packed into cartons or shrink film, then palletized and up to inventory.
 
Production process as follows:
1.     Sterile material preparation: material with feeding temperature ≤30℃ is treated by automatic plate-type UHT in the temperature of 121～137℃

for 5～20s, then sterile material comes out. The sterile material is feed to filling system after chilled to 85～92℃.
       
2.     PET bottle rinsing: PET bottle which reached operation technique requirements are conveyed to bottle rinsing, which performed by water rinsing both inside and outside of PET bottle, after that, the bottle is feed to filling system.
       
3.     Product filling, capping: sterile material is filled to cleaned bottle by CIP cleaned filling system, after sealing by the capper, the semi-product comes out.
       
4.     Semi-product headspace sterilization: capped semi-product conveyed to headspace sterilization chain, which bend over the filled bottle, sterilizing the cap twice by product own temperature; soften the washer of the cap to improve airproof degree between the bottle and the cap. Time for headspace sterilization is over 30s. After sterilization, bottles are held upright again by the chain, then enter the next procedure.
       
5.     Cooling of semi-product: after headspace sterilization, the semi-product is feed to showering tunnel, which uses two cycles of recycling

chlorine added water chilling the temperature of product to 40℃ below. Usually, we use pure water rinsing the bottle body before exiting the tunnel.
       
6.     Product after-packing: after chilling, the semi-product dried by drying, sleeve labeling, shrinking, wrap-round case packing equipment which owned by customer to turn out to product.
