# Optimize your production schedule with the JCs *ultrablock**™ *

- Achieve **maximum product safety**  with Steam Sterilization – assures a total sterile environment for product transfer, storage, and filling
- **Flexibility** – The JCS ***UltraBlock™*** maintains product integrity and sterility on either side of the barrier between the UHT and the Aseptic Surge Tank. This maximizes production runs, ensures the separation of incompatible products, coordinates all functions with the filler, and can be fed to multiple destinations
- The JCS ***UltraBlock*™** can easily** be integrated** into new or existing ESL “Extended Shelf Life"” or UHT systems

### APPLICATIONS

Milk, Shake Mix, Ice Cream Mix, Functional Beverages, Plant Based Beverages, Nut based Beverages, Fruit Juices, Nectar, Tea, Sauces, Purees, and many other types of foods and beverages.

## minimize product losses

The JCS ***UltraBlock™*** is an Aseptic Isolation Valve Cluster that provides an aseptic barrier to protect the integrity of aseptically processed products.  It is placed between the processor (HHST, UHT, or HTST with MST) and the Sterile Product Surge Tank (*AsepTank*™) thus protecting either side of the ***UltraBlock*™** from the other when:

 

- one side is either not sterile or is conducting non compatible products to another destination
- or is in a chemical cleaning process such as AIC (Aseptic Intermediate CIP).  

With the JCS ***UltraBlock™  ***you can minimize product losses by letting the processor transition from product to product, without having to go product to water.

### separate incompatible PRODUCTS

The JCS ***UltraBlock™*** maintains the integrity of product and sterility on either side of the barrier between the UHT and the Aseptic Surge Tank. This maximizes product runs, ensures the separation of incompatible products, coordinates all functions with the filler, and can be fed to multiple destinations.

 

- The Processor can be CIP’d while the aseptic surge tank is delivering product to the filler without affecting the integrity of the product.
- Conversely,  the aseptic surge tank and filler routing can be CIP’d while maintaining the integrity of the Processor.

 

**OTHER ****BENEFITS**

 

- **Compact Design** – The skid contains the ***UltraBlock™ ***cluster, sterile air header for *AsepTank*™ and is prewired to an electrical enclosure. Our design minimizes floor space, while making sure all valves are easily accessible for maintenance.
- **Ease of Integration **– The Control System provides an Ethernet Connection to the Plant PLC network and provides a protocol for synchronizing control of the Upstream Processor and Down Stream Fillers, as well as the CIP System.
- **On-site Start-up Time – **only 5 days which includes the complete PMO validation.
- **HAACP Screen **– A single HMI screen displays all of the Critical Control Points (CCP) making the data easily accessible for Quality Control to review.
- **Maintainable** – the JCS supplied aseptic valves are the most suitable valve for this aseptic application. Rated for full vacuum and, full steam pressure. Only the diaphragm in contact with the product so no need for additional valve steam seals.
- **PMO, USDA, and 3A Compliant** – Meets criteria for Low and High Acid aseptic product and chemical isolation.
