SERAC AND BUDÉ GROUP
DEVELOP NEXT-GENERATION
ASEPTIC MONOBLOC FOR
HIGH-SPEED AEROSOL FILLING
EVOLUTION BPS’S LONG-TERM PARTNER, SERAC,
HAS JOINED FORCES WITH THE BUDÉ GROUP TO PIONEER
ADVANCED ASEPTIC MONOBLOC TECHNOLOGY FOR
HIGH-SPEED AEROSOL FILLING.

Serac and Budé Group have jointly
engineered a next-generation aseptic
monobloc filler and crimper system,
purpose-built for high-speed aerosol
production of whipped cream. This
breakthrough combines decades of
process technology expertise to create
a compact, hygienic, and highly efficient
monobloc platform that redefines
standards in net weight aseptic filling.

Process-Driven Innovation for
Aerosol Production
Both Budé Group bv and Serac have
long been leaders in the engineering
of aseptic production lines for whipped
cream in aerosol formats. In response
to market demand for a high-speed
monobloc solution – integrating
filling, valve placement, and crimping
into a single compact unit – the two
companies pooled their technical
knowledge to design a system optimised
for both performance and sterility.

Traditionally, aerosol production lines
at 200cpm separate the filler and crimper
onto individual frames with a mechanical
transfer screw for synchronisation.

However, scaling up to 300cpm required a
complete rethinking of this configuration.

The resulting monobloc concept
delivers enhanced synchronisation,
superior aseptic integrity, and
minimised mechanical complexity.

Key Advancements in the
New Monobloc Technology Include:

throughout the system, eliminating the
need for mechanical screw transfers.

This ensures continuous motion and
minimises the risk of misalignment.

Integrated Rotary Valve
Application: A rotary turret enables
more accurate and controlled valve
placement. The turret design, combined
with body-guided can holding, ensures
optimal alignment and consistent
crimping results.

Monobloc Cladding: Sloped
cladding optimises surface cleaning
and disinfection cycles and has the
possibility of automation of cleaning
processes. This enhances hygiene and
reduces manual intervention, key pillars
of advanced process engineering.

Serac's Multiflow Net Weight
Technology: The heart of the filler
uses Serac’s proven magnetic valve
system, known for its fill accuracy (1σ
< 1g/1kg) and hygienic, non-contact
filling method. This ensures no cross-
contamination and robust sterility
during high-throughput operation.

Simplified Changeovers: With
automatic height adjustments and
diameter parts switch, the system allows
for faster, more repeatable changeovers
– an essential feature for flexible,
multi-SKU production environments.

Process Technology as a
Strategic Advantage
This collaboration marks a significant
evolution in aerosol process technology.

The integration of Serac's precision net
weight filling into a monobloc solution
brings unprecedented efficiency and
control to the whipped cream segment.

Serac’s 50 years of innovation
in net weight filling, especially in
ATEX-rated and hygienically sensitive
environments, aligns perfectly with
Budé Group’s strategic focus on aerosol
processing. This partnership enables
Budé to expand into medium-speed
(80-600cpm) aerosol lines for a broader
range of products, from high-foaming
creams to viscous formulations.

“This filler and crimper can be
used across a wide range of aerosol
products,” commented Ingeborg
Pluim, from Serac. “While it was
developed with whipped cream in
mind, the technology is equally suited
to foaming, viscous, or chemically
sensitive products.”
With this advanced monobloc as a
foundational platform, Serac and Budé
are setting the stage for a new generation
of process-engineered machines capable
of meeting the demands of the modern
aerosol market.
