The market is increasingly demanding such multi-functionality: 'Fashionable products, such as liquid food with cereals, fruit particles and berries, RTD teas or milk-based low acid beverages are becoming ever more common on supermarket shelves. Producers are reacting by replacing standard products and shifting their production processes to allow for greater flexibility and innovation,' explains Alessandro Bellò, Vice President of Blowing, Filling & Packing at GEA. 'Our customers feel the need to react quickly to changes in demand. Our technical solutions lay the foundation for a dynamic response.'

GEA has already received inquiries about the new technology. In the second half of 2017, it delivered a Fillstar CX EVO with an aseptic piston doser to a company in Southeast Asia, where trendy beverages, such as 'food in a bottle' and organic teas, are very popular and new creations are welcome. The high-performance system will have a capacity of 54,000 bottles per hour.
