The collaboration with Sidel included planning, technical setup, equipment installation, commissioning, and operational enhancements.<\/p>\n

To address food safety requirements, Sidel provided a complete packaging line featuring its Aseptic Combi Predis technology.<\/p>\n

This line processes 24,000 bottles an hour and combines several steps, specifically preform sterilisation, blow moulding, filling, and capping.<\/p>\n

Its dry preform decontamination process uses hydrogen peroxide applied to the preform before heating. This is intended to provide thorough decontamination while reducing chemical and water use.<\/p>\n

Britannia chief sales transformation officer Abhishek Sinha said: \u201cSidel offered a comprehensive range of services, including new packaging concept design, packaging validation, label recommendations, custom filling tests and shelf-life studies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey provided everything we needed to enter the aseptic PET segment and bring our new product to market with maximum confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

The system monitors key production parameters to maintain sterility and product quality across different beverages to reduce the operator training needed and minimise production downtimes.<\/p>\n

The line is expected to reduce water and chemical consumption, addressing both resource use and environmental impact.<\/p>\n

Sidel South Asia sales vice-president Harbinder Kathuria said: \u201cSidel offered Britannia end-to-end support, enabling them to unlock the full potential of their dairy beverage.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom bottle and label design to product-packaging validation, the line has empowered Britannia to expand its dairy beverage portfolio and offer safe, high-quality products with enhanced packaging flexibility to Indian consumers since 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last October, Sidel introduced Nitro Square<\/a>, a square PET bottle for still water that incorporates liquid nitrogen dosing.<\/p>\n
