Sidel strengthens aseptic packaging capabilities

The aseptic lab also offers customers strong training support, in addition to trouble shooting potential product-related issues.

Over the past ten years, Italy headquartered Sidel has implemented more than 100 aseptic PET complete lines in Greater China. Taking into consideration that liquid dairy and plant-based drinks are more and more winning consumers’ preference in the region, and they are increasingly bottled in PET to offer a premium proposition, this figure can only grow.

This is why the company decided to enrich the plant in Beijing with an aseptic laboratory. Including a testing room as well as a cleaning and sterilisation room, the new lab is mainly used for validation tests of Beijing-made aseptic and ultra clean equipment: with 56 sets of advanced equipment, the team can run preform and cap decontamination tests, hydrogen peroxide residual tests within the packaging, plus microorganism isolation and purification.

The aseptic lab also offers customers strong training support, in addition to trouble shooting potential product-related issues. 

“With more than 1,000 installed references for sensitive products worldwide, over 40 years of aseptic expertise and nearly 100 joint complete line projects with Tetra Pak Processing Systems, local players active in the food and beverage markets can leverage our clear leadership in this segment”, said Scarlet Chen, Vice President Beverages Equipment Sales & Services Greater China.
