Traditional or flexible aseptic production?
A growing trend towards small batch sizes is pushing manufacturers to increase the flexibility of aseptic production. Processes need to accommodate multiple products. However, traditional aseptic processing is a dedicated process that is specific to the container format.
Introducing a new format on a traditional filling line is difficult. Flexible aseptic processing leverages the commonalities between various container fill-finish processes and allows you to fill multiple container formats and sizes on a single modular platform.
Supporting technologies such as isolator technology and RABS (restricted access barrier system) can be applied for both traditional and flexible aseptic production.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both traditional aseptic processing and flexible aseptic processing. Choosing between traditional and flexible filling is a matter of priorities. Teaming up with NNE means you get a technical partner to help you make the right choice based on your specific situation.
