The Hot fill technology is one of the solutions to fill still drinks with or without pulps and fibres with no preservatives.
The hot product coming out at high temperature from the pasteurizer reaches the filler and sterilizes the container to be filled ensuring the correct shelf life.
The bottles have to sustain treatment temperature therefore they are few grams heavier than those bottled with cold fill technology.
Once filled and capped, the bottles enter into a cold rain type tunnel to be cooled down. |
