Advanced H₂O₂ vapor technology delivers high-speed aseptic filling, reduced water consumption, and reliable microbiological control for sensitive low-acid beverages
August 20, 2026 — Shibuya Hoppmann, a global leader in aseptic and ESL filling and automation systems, highlights its Dry Aseptic Filling Decontamination System, designed for beverage manufacturers seeking reliable microbiological control, extended product shelf life, and greater production efficiency. Utilizing dry hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) vapor to sterilize the internal and external surfaces of PET and HDPE bottles, the system helps manufacturers achieve the microbiological control required for aseptic beverage production while supporting compliance with applicable food safety requirements. The system also helps extend product shelf life while enabling ambient-temperature transport and storage for sensitive low-acid beverages.
Engineered for ready-to-drink teas, coffee beverages, flavored waters, nutritional beverages, plant-based beverages, high-protein nutrition products and aseptically processed dairy beverages, the platform accommodates PET and HDPE containers ranging from 60 mL to 3,800 mL at production rates up to 72,000 bottles per hour. Following dry H₂O₂ decontamination, bottles enter a fully enclosed aseptic filling environment where sterilized containers are filled and capped without compromising sterile conditions. The system features high-accuracy net-weight filling, individually controlled servo-driven capping, and optional automatic sterile changeovers between bottle sizes and neck finishes to maximize production flexibility while maintaining aseptic integrity.
Designed with hygienic operation in mind, the system minimizes dead legs and condensation to support sanitary production and simplify maintenance. Advanced sealing technology maintains sterile separation between rotating and stationary components, helping preserve aseptic conditions during high-speed operation. Comprehensive production data collection provides full traceability and real-time monitoring of filling and capping performance, giving manufacturers greater visibility into process control and quality assurance.
The Shibuya Aseptic Filling system maintains H2O2 chemical residuals below 0.5 ppm while significantly reducing water consumption, wastewater generation, and chemical usage. By enabling ambient-temperature transport and storage while extending product shelf life, the system helps manufacturers lower logistics costs, reduce environmental impact, and deliver consistently safe, high-quality sensitive low-acid beverages.
With productivity exceeding 95% and a design optimized for long production runs, the Dry Aseptic Filling Decontamination System helps beverage manufacturers increase throughput, improve operational efficiency, and reduce total cost of ownership without compromising food safety or product quality.
