FAQ

Our systems are built on more than 50 years of aseptic technology experience developed in Japan, one of the world's most stringent markets for product quality and safety.

Our proprietary hydrogen peroxide sterilization technology enables reliable aseptic filling for multiple packaging formats, including PET bottles, carton packs, and Bag-in-Box (BiB). We help beverage manufacturers improve product safety, productivity, and sustainability.

Our technology development is based on the Japanese philosophy of Kaizen (continuous improvement).

For more than 50 years, we have continuously improved product quality, production efficiency, and environmental performance. DNP currently holds more than 400 patents related to aseptic technology, reflecting our long-term commitment to solving manufacturing challenges through innovation.

While our current business focuses on aseptic filling systems for PET bottles, we are also expanding our technologies to other packaging formats.

We continue to develop solutions that reduce energy consumption, lower CO₂ emissions, support lightweight packaging, and contribute to more sustainable beverage manufacturing worldwide.

We sterilize the product, container, and filling environment separately before filling under aseptic conditions.

Critical process parameters are continuously monitored and recorded to ensure stable aseptic performance throughout production.

We use a validation methodology developed through decades of aseptic experience in Japan.

Sterility and process performance are verified through media-fill testing, operational qualification, and other internationally recognized validation procedures before commercial production.

High-level sterility minimizes the risk of microbial contamination during production.

This helps reduce safety risks such as product recalls, supports preservative-free formulations, extends shelf life, and contributes to reducing food waste throughout the supply chain.

Yes.

Our rotary aseptic filling machine became the world's first of its kind to receive FDA clearance in 2005. Since then, we have completed 12 FDA-approved aseptic filling line installations and support customers worldwide with systems designed to meet international regulatory requirements.

Our systems achieve over 98% availability, support changeovers as short as 1.0–2.0 hours, and enable continuous production runs of over 150 hours for low-acid beverages.

Stable aseptic operation helps reduce product defects and waste.

Efficient cleaning and changeover procedures also reduce product loss, utility consumption, and production downtime.

AI and digital technologies can help improve productivity, equipment availability, and product quality.

By analyzing operational data, manufacturers can identify operational inefficiencies, predict equipment failures, and optimize production processes.

Yes.

Two-Step Sterilization eliminates bottle water-rinsing, while GREEN ASEPTIC™ and CSIP reduce water consumption during cleaning and sterilization processes.

Yes.

Our Two-Step Sterilization technology can reduce hydrogen peroxide consumption by approximately 50% compared with conventional bottle sterilization systems. Waterless bottle sterilization can also reduce water usage and wastewater treatment requirements.

Yes.

Our dry sterilization technology places minimal thermal stress on the bottle, making it suitable for lightweight PET designs. Two-Step Sterilization also supports flexible bottle structures with lower resin usage.

We support customers throughout the entire project, from the initial evaluation of production requirements to commercial operation.

This includes equipment specification development, engineering, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and startup.

Yes.

After evaluating your existing equipment, we can propose retrofits, capacity upgrades, and modifications to surrounding systems.

We consider factors such as production volume, product mix, operating hours, and future business plans.

Based on these requirements, we propose the most suitable line configuration.

We provide technical support, maintenance services, spare parts supply, and performance improvement recommendations.

Our goal is to help customers maintain safe, stable and efficient operations.

Depending on the situation, we provide remote support and on-site assistance.

Our priority is to restore production as quickly as possible and minimize downtime.

Yes.

We offer training programs covering equipment operation, safety procedures, troubleshooting, and routine maintenance.

Yes.

We analyze equipment condition and operational data and provide recommendations to improve productivity, reliability, and energy efficiency.

Yes.

We provide annual overhauls, equipment inspections, and customized maintenance plans based on operating conditions. These services help reduce unexpected downtime and maintain stable operation.

We maintain parts information for every installed system and can provide replacement parts quickly when needed.

We also provide a recommended spare parts list to help customers plan preventive maintenance and minimize downtime.

We have installed more than 100 aseptic filling systems in Japan and hold more than 60% of the domestic aseptic PET filling market.

Outside Japan, we have installed approximately 130 production lines, including projects in China, the United States, and Vietnam.

We support customers from installation and commissioning through startup, operator training, and maintenance.

Our experience includes approximately 130 overseas line installations, helping customers achieve reliable long-term operation.
