Because of their simple production process, low requirements for sterilization and packaging and low cost, most of the marketable drinks are acidic, such as carbonated drinks and orange juice drinks. If consumers drink too much of them, a large amount of organic acids would suddenly gather in the body to produce acidemia. In an acid environment, the activity of muscle and other tissues would decline, and the fatigue would not be relieved. After strenuous exercise, people would also lose a lot of potassium, sodium, chlorine and other electrolytes while sweating heavily, and drinking too much acid drinks can aggravate these symptoms. In addition, long-term consumption of acid drinks can cause tooth mineral erosion and dissolution, resulting in acid corrosion.
Fashionable healthy drinks are usually neutral, including coffee, milk tea, soy milk and other vegetable protein drinks, functional drinks, etc. PET cold filling technology is mainly used in their production. These drinks are filled and sealed in an aseptic and normal temperature environment. High temperature hot filling is not adopted, and preservatives needn’t be added to the drinks, and the requirements of long shelf life can be met and the taste, color and flavor of the drinks can be maintained without carrying out secondary sterilization after the filling and sealing of the drinks.
The whole process of cold aseptic filling is carried out in an aseptic environment, and its technical requirements are very high. Cold aseptic filling is usually selected for high-grade drinks, but if the neck mark of the bottle is hot filling, and if there is "sorbic acids and benzoic acids" in the list of ingredients on the label of the drinks, aseptic cold filling technology is not adopted, and the drinks are not really healthy ideal drinks.
PET cold aseptic filling technology
PET cold aseptic filling technology is the top technology in the field of beverage packaging all over the world. Media entering the filling area include air, water and material liquid, and both bottles and caps should meet aseptic requirements. In the filling process, especially in the production of neutral protein products, due to the qualification rate of the cap, the sealing of the bottle mouth, the residue at the bottle mouth and other factors, slight carelessness would result in product accidents, and even lead to the mass scrapping of the product. It is a huge challenge to the manufacturer of aseptic filling equipment. At present, only Nongfu Spring uses the aseptic equipment of Shibuya in Japan to realize industrialized production, and European suppliers of aseptic equipment are rarely involved.GrandPak’s aseptic packaging equipment and technology were successfully developed in cooperation with Toyo Seikan from Japan. Based on nearly ten years of development, the equipment and technology have been improved day by day. The technology has also passed technical appraisal of the Chinese government at the provincial and ministerial level, filling the gap in China, with seven directly-related authorization patents (one authorized invention, six utility models).
GrandPak's aseptic filling technology can meet the filling standards of various fashionable neutral drinks of customers. These include coffee and coffee milk drinks, soy milk, cow milk and other milk-containing drinks, herbal tea, functional drinks and high-standard drinking water. Our aseptic technology has been validated by Japanese standards and is truly free of any preservatives and additives. Please particularly note that some Chinese suppliers claim that they can produce neutral and sterile cold filling packaging lines. As a matter of fact, almost all of them cannot pass the verification of aseptic standards.
GrandPak's cold aseptic filling and packing line has been verified by many customers. The starting efficiency of the product is more than 95%, the disinfection efficiency is more than 6D, the residual amount of bactericide is 0.5 ppm, and the filling precision is ±0.5% (500ml/ bottle). All the test results excel the national standard and reach the international advanced level.
At present, thirty-six PET aseptic lines of GrandPak have been successfully used by its customers. More than ten of them are used in the production of protein drinks, coffee drinks, milk drinks, herbal tea and other neutral products, all of which have passed the aseptic verification at one time. Lehui has supplied Toyo Seikan Co., Ltd. with eight PET cold aseptic packaging lines for low-acid products, which meet the strict health standards of Japan.
In recent years, GrandPak has accepted the orders of PET aseptic packaging line from Zhongshan Jianyule, Henan Zhongwo, Guangdong Heika and other beverage companies, serving domestic high quality customers with the most cost-effective and the most internationally advanced technology.
GrandPak provides customers with turnkey services for complete equipment, including system aseptic verification, product aseptic management and technical training.
