Sidel PET bottle for liquid dairy products

Sidel has launched a small, lightweight PET bottle for liquid dairy products.

The mini size has been designed for products such as drinking and probiotic yoghurts with capacities between 65 to 150 mL and is suitable for ambient and cold chain processes. The bottle is also suitable for applications within the juice, nectar, soft drinks, isotonics and tea sector.

Manufacturers can benefit from PET’s sustainability credentials. The new preform design is qualified for 100% rPET content and also enables a low blowing pressure below 15 bars.

The bottle is available with a range of creative options including different formats and shapes; one-shot or multi-serve consumption; the use of white or transparent PET; multiple graphics and textures; and a range of bottle necks and caps. It is also compatible with roll-fed or sleeve labelling.

The new bottle size is compatible with the company’s Aseptic Combi Predis FMa aseptic solution with dry preform decontamination.

Similarly, the bottle is also suitable for high production speeds with up to 66,000 bottles per hour.
