Case Studies

Case studies: tea, juice & water
See DNP's aseptic filling technologies in action

Since 1994, DNP has applied its proprietary aseptic filling technology to PET bottles, introducing Japan's first hydrogen peroxide-based PET bottle sterilization system. Since then, we have delivered more than 230 systems worldwide and achieved over 60% of the domestic market share in Japan. Discover how beverage manufacturers use DNP's aseptic filling technologies in the case studies below.

Tea filling machine case study — 36,000 bph

Illuminated medium-pressure UV lamps used in the Green Aseptic Technology process

A major beverage producer in Shizuoka adopted DNP's Green Aseptic™ PET bottle line for commercial tea production in April 2024. By combining non-thermal water sterilization with aseptic blending, the system enables efficient and sustainable beverage production. Media-fill testing confirmed stable aseptic performance with zero spoilage, while energy consumption and CO₂ emissions were reduced by approximately 80% compared with conventional UHT-based processes.

Juice filling machine case study — 54,000 bph

Mitsuya Cider, Wilkinson Tansan and Calpis Water PET bottles filled on DNP’s aseptic PET bottle line

Asahi Breweries commissioned DNP's aseptic PET bottle filling system at its Nagoya factory in April 2021 to produce both carbonated and non-carbonated beverages. The system features aseptic carbonation technology that enables highly carbonated beverage production without downstream pasteurization while maintaining full sterility and product quality. DNP's proprietary CSIP™ technology performs Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilization-in-Place (SIP) simultaneously, reducing changeover time and improving production efficiency. The integrated solution also helps lower operating costs and environmental impact through reduced utility consumption.

Water filling machine case study — infant mineral water

Nongfu Spring 1-L infant mineral-water PET bottle produced on DNP’s aseptic line

Nongfu Spring, China's largest packaged water producer, introduced a 1 L natural mineral water for infants using DNP's aseptic PET bottle filling system. The project demonstrated reliable aseptic filling for a uniquely shaped PET bottle while achieving chemical-free bottle and cap sterilization. The system supports the production of safe, high-quality mineral water while reinforcing Nongfu Spring's “natural & healthy” brand philosophy.
