en.Wedoany.com Reported - Thai Coconut has adopted a complete aseptic PET line from Sidel to expand its export business for carbonated and non-carbonated coconut water. The packaging design meets international regulatory requirements and offers a unique shelf display effect.
The coconut product manufacturer previously primarily used cans and cartons. To meet international market standards for efficiency, resource consumption, and food safety, the company sought a flexible line from Sidel capable of producing both carbonated soft drinks and non-carbonated coconut water. Thai Coconut Chief Technology Officer Montri Banraungsanor stated that Sidel was chosen for its strong reputation and proven expertise in the aseptic market, and that the new bottle design developed by Sidel's packaging team enhanced marketing impact and shelf presence.
The installed line integrates Sidel's Aseptic Combi Predis technology, operating at a speed of 45,000 bottles per hour. This system combines preform sterilization, blow molding, filling, and capping into a single process. Predis uses a dry preform decontamination process, reducing water and chemical consumption while maintaining food safety standards. The line also integrates Sidel's Evo-ON performance technology for real-time monitoring and production optimization.
The aseptic line can handle both carbonated and non-carbonated products on the same line using the same filler, accommodating two different 350 ml bottle types for still and carbonated coconut water. Sidel states that this versatility helps optimize total cost of ownership. The Aseptic Combi Predis is designed for ease of operation, reducing downtime and operator training burden.
A key factor in the collaboration was compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements. The line is already FDA-certified, enabling Thai Coconut to export to the United States and other global markets. The company stated that 90% of the new line's output is for export. Sidel Southeast Asia Pacific Sales Director Parkpoom Praprom noted that during customer validation, the line recently installed at Thai Coconut achieved 100% efficiency, reflecting the company's commitment to customer performance.
