Milk – flexible filling lines support product innovations

With consumption totalling approximately 6.7 billion litres, the British market, like its European counterpart, exhibits a consistently high level. Growth markets within this product category include milk-based mixed beverages and drinking yoghurt.
One vital point, particularly for milk production and milk processing, is the need to preserve the milk’s high quality. And this factor is crucial to a brand’s success when planning the process technology, filling and packaging equipment, and the intralogistics involved. All backed up, of course, by a sophisticated marketing concept and a persuasive product concept.
It is precisely this development of new products like milk-based mixed beverages or fresh milk with an extended shelf-life, plus yoghurt products, that demands maximised flexibility from the process technology involved and from the filling and packing lines installed. But hygiene, too, is crucial.
