Navigating the Complexities of Aseptic Packaging
Aseptic packaging plays a crucial role in preserving the nutritional value and extending the shelf life of sensitive products such as juices, isotonics, teas, and liquid dairy products. However, manufacturers face numerous challenges in ensuring product safety and integrity while maintaining operational efficiency and minimizing environmental impact.
Sidel's Aseptic Knowledge Centre provides comprehensive resources to help manufacturers navigate these complexities. The Centre features detailed case studies, expert insights, latest news, research findings, and information on Sidel's sustainability commitments.
A Legacy of Innovation in Aseptic Packaging
With over 50 years of experience at the forefront of aseptic packaging innovation, Sidel has a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities in this field. The company has been instrumental in the evolution of aseptic packaging solutions, from early complex systems requiring complete clean rooms to today's simplified systems.
One notable example is Sidel's Predis™ dry preform sterilization system, a revolutionary solution that reduces the sterile zone to the container itself, allowing for operation in a regular blow molding environment.
Ensuring Product Safety and Integrity
The Aseptic Knowledge Centre showcases Sidel's commitment to line safety and performance, highlighting innovative solutions such as aseptic combi systems that ensure the highest levels of safety and product integrity.
