Advances in Beverage Filling Technology 2014: Special Newsletter

We hope you enjoy today's special edition newsletter, which groups together four articles on beverage filling technology advances and trends, where investing in the right machinery is vital to win that competitive edge by supplying customers with safer, tastier, higher quality products at prices that won't wipe out your margins.

Royal Crown Cola International (RCCI) tells us that high standards of treatment for water and sugar are vital if one wants to join their bottling system, while our case study shows German brewer Acrobrau choosing a double pre-evacuation filler from Krones to minimize oxygen ingress and stabilize taste.

Then there's our perspective on slow aseptic filling uptake in key emerging market India, delivered by a seasoned beverage and brewery project professional whose CV spans 16 years and takes in projects from the likes of PepsiCo, Coca-Cola and ABI. Finally, Italian turnkey filling line supplier SACMI talks trends in CSDs, bottled waters and wine, and tells us it is keen to penetrate a 'very attractive' beer filling market.
