Reducing water consumption thanks to its chemical-free packaging sterilization technology: BluStream®
Serac will present on its booth the BluStream® chemical-free cap sterilization module which has been in production for over a year at Sources Alma, a beverage manufacturer located in France. This module allows Sources Alma to eliminate the need for chemical decontamination of caps during the aseptic filling of sensitive beverages such as flavored waters, fruit juices or tea-based drinks. By eliminating chemicals during sterilization, the need for rinsing water is also eliminated. This is a real innovation in the beverage market.
Indeed, as Romain Leclercq, Head of the Carbonated & Soft Drinks Division at Sources Alma, states: "BluStream® technology contributes to the reduction of water and chemical consumption in our production site. Today we are very satisfied with the results we have obtained in terms of performance and decontamination efficiency".
100% rPET opaque bottles
The Serac’s booth will also feature a presentation of 100% rPET bottles manufactured on Serac's SBL blow molding machine. Transparent bottles, of course, but also 100% recyclable opaque bottles to fill light-sensitive products such as milk, already on sale in French supermarkets.
Adopting a "Reuse, Refill, Return" model with glass bottles
For beverage manufacturers who want to switch to a Reuse Refill Return model, Serac offers visitors the opportunity to discover or rather rediscover its filling line for glass bottles including intelligent inspection systems capable of meticulously controlling all parts of the bottle.
Thanks to a complete range of decontamination technologies, Serac is able to adapt its filling lines to the specific requirements of each company and to the reuse model in which they wish to participate.
