The new sterilisation technique offers numerous advantages such as higher production capacity with no increase in machine dimensions. The Tetra Pak® E3/Speed Hyper filling machine is able to reach 40,000 portion packs per hour, a more than 60% improvement compared with our existing Tetra Pak® A3 platform. In this way, you may save up to 20% in operational cost due to improved efficiency.

The use of the eBeam system instead of hydrogen peroxide means fewer chemicals need to be stored and treated, leading to reduced consumption of water and energy. The continuous operation of eBeam reduces the packaging and product waste that happens during the set up for the hydrogen peroxide sterilisation process, allowing you to improve your environmental performance.
The new platform allows for higher modularity in terms of filled product types. Thanks to eBeam technology, you can use the same machine to move from pasteurised filling to extended shelf life production.
Tetra Pak® E3, a filling machine platform bringing the breakthrough technology eBeam to the beverage carton industry for the first time. eBeam replaces the traditional hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sterilisation process for packaging materials.
Optional use of eBeam
New servo toolbox for DIMC
The Direct Injection Moulding Concept (DIMC) station on Tetra Pak® E3 Flex platform is activated by a motor driven tool box instead of a pneumatic cylinder. The Servo Toolbox guarantees a controlled movement in terms of moulding position and moulding closing torque.
Web Position Active Control
This new feature improves two important aspects of the filling machine functionality:
Tube Position Active Control
This new feature reads the rotations of the packaging material during transient phases and corrects the creases alignment of the package. It enables the Web Position Active Control to make adjustments automatic.
New operator interface
The operator panel has a new look and feel and a wider screen – in 16:9. More intuitive icons are available with added functionality and improved usability. The time required to perform the different operations has been reduced.
The Tetra Pak® E3 platform is a series of filling machines that use eBeam technology to sterilise packaging material replacing the traditional hydrogen peroxide sterilisation process for packaging material while guaranteeing the same sterilisation performance. The eBeam sterilisation technology works by focusing a controlled beam of electrons on the surface of a packaging material to kill micro-organisms as it runs through the filling machine.
