First gable top carton for UHT milk

Elopak’s E-PS120A aseptic filling machine provides filling of both high and low acid products in ambient distribution. The machine has been used in the juice industry for some time, and now the company has announced availability of the Pure-Pak gable top carton for UHT milk.

Depending on the product, a shelf life of up to 12 months can be achieved, with up to 12,000 cartons filled per hour.

Arla, one of the largest dairies in Europe, is the first to launch a long-life milk brand in the aseptic Pure-Pak gable top carton.

“For us it is important that the products stand out not only with their modern attractive design, but to also clearly differ from conventional types of long-life milk packaging,” explained Winfried Meier, sales director at Arla Foods. “The product looks at first glance like a typical fresh milk package and fits perfectly with the promise of quality we guarantee to our consumers of both fresh and UHT milk.”

The E-PS120A filling machine has a modular compact design, with an integrated cap applicator for flexibility in manufacturing, assembly, operation and maintenance. It requires floor space of 25 m², offers flexibility to changeover designs and has three different carton sizes (500, 750 and 1000 mL).
