CR Beverage, one of China's leading bottled water brands, has invested in three of Sidel’s complete high speed aseptic complete lines to meet increased consumer demand for better quality, healthier and more eco-friendly packaging for teas, juices and carbonated drinks.
In addition to being the leading water packaging manufacturer in China, the company is committed to providing consumers with a greater choice of high-quality drinks across its entire beverage portfolio to meet the 4.6 percent compound annual growth rate predicted by Global Data for 2023-2027.
After more than eight years of collaboration in China, and following the successful installation of its innovative complete line packaging solution for its big format water production, it once again turned to the company to create a unique solution for its aseptic production lines.
At the company’s Yixing plant and Chengdu plant, it installed three high speed aseptic complete lines featuring the Aseptic Combi Predis FMa for tea and plum juice and Aseptic Combi Predis Fmac for all high and low acid products and carbonated drinks with 28 and 38 bottle neck. The one at its Chengdu plant is equipped with a four EvoDECO labelers and conveyors. The lines are now producing 54,000 bottles per hour (bph) for 450ml format and 27,000 bph for 1L.
The VP said, "We have successively introduced bottled water lines and aseptic lines from Sidel, and all of them have been successfully put into production. Especially the aseptic lines have passed the aseptic validation in one go and reached the rated production capacity as scheduled, demonstrating the professional level and high synergy of aseptic technology. We believe that we will have more extensive cooperation in the future.”
Its Aseptic Combi Predis offers the simplest, fastest and safest dry preform decontamination on the market, designed to ensure food safety, product integrity and a longer shelf life for sensitive products without using preservatives.
The Aseptic Combi Predis also facilitates the lowest total cost of ownership without compromising food safety or production simplicity, while maintaining a high output, easy operation and very flexible production. And, as no water is used in this process and the use of chemicals is radically reduced, it offers an optimised environmental footprint to attain the highest sustainability standards required.
The Aseptic Combi Predis uses dry hydrogen peroxide mist to sterilise preforms before blow moulding, reducing water, energy, and chemical usage. This process ensures a sterile environment for filling and capping, maintaining product safety and sustainability.
2024 marks the fifth anniversary of both the local manufacture of Aseptic Predis and the establishment of the company’s aseptic laboratory at its Beijing plant, which has a strong local production capacity and focus on local delivery and sustainable development. Over the past five years, the Beijing plant has delivered more than twenty sets of innovative Aseptic Predis Combi equipment to customers throughout China and Asia. These three high-speed Aseptic Predis complete lines to the company were all produced at the Beijing plant, and the one-time pass rate of aseptic validation reaches 100%.
Its Greater China has a strong Aseptic project and service team, which is the biggest cornerstone for it to better serve the Chinese market. Tang John, Sidel’s execution project management director for Greater China, said, “Aseptic validation takes place at customer sites before the Commercial Acceptance Validation (CAV). We are proud to reflect on the performance of all newly installed aseptic lines in China in2024. All our aseptic complete lines installed in the country in 2024 passed the aseptic validation test with impressive results. This is an extraordinary achievement and highlights the dedication and teamwork of our outstanding team, as well as our leadership and expertise in aseptic technology. This success showcases our leadership in aseptic technology, with proven reliability and performance that differentiates us from both local and global peers.”
