Exhibitor: Sidel

Product: Equipment, packaging for aseptic filling

Sensitive products have become the fastest growing area for PET bottles in recent years as a result of consumers’ expectations for more natural, healthy and value-added products. This has led to a rise in demand for aseptic, hot-fill and ultra clean solutions to package juices, nectars, isotonics, teas, liquid dairy products and products with pulps and particles. 

Beverage producers need to focus on food safety and simple and efficient packaging solutions to satisfy growing demands, but also on flexible solutions that cater to different packaging formats and types with minimal production downtime and costs.

Unique in aseptic filling

Sidel will unveil a number of pioneering technologies and innovative packaging solutions designed to satisfy the rising demands for healthier drinks while respecting the specifications of those sensitive products. Among them are extensive aseptic capabilities, including the proven dry preforms decontamination technology Predis. Combi Predis/Capdis FMa has been specifically designed for the aseptic blowing, filling and capping of sensitive products in PET bottles and is still unique in aseptic configuration.

The technology also offers unlimited lightweighting possibilities.  Sixty Combi Predis systems have already been sold worldwide, equivalent to more than five billion bottles produced with Predis to date, saving 600 million liters of water and around one million liters of chemical agents.

Sidel will also present different hot-fill and aseptic filling technologies, dedicated to beverages with slurry in PET containers, meeting relevant official standards for many types of end products with pulp, fibers, puree, sacs, particles, juices or dairy products.
