For many beverages sensitive to contamination, canned packaging has traditionally relied on retort processing—heating sealed cans to ensure safety. While effective, this high-temperature treatment can affect taste and aroma and may limit formulation options. To reduce heat exposure and better preserve product quality, GEA developed the AseptiCan aseptic can filling system. It enables high-acid or low-acid beverages, still or carbonated, to be filled into aluminum cans under aseptic conditions. This session will explore how aseptic can filling technology can be applied in beverage production, how it expands formulation flexibility for brands, and how it supports different can formats.
