State-Of-The-Art Bottling Equipment Can Bolster The Bottom Line

PACK EXPO 2014 took place at Chicago’s McCormick Place November 2 – November 5. Food Online’s Editor Sam Lewis attended the event and had the opportunity to speak with several of the event’s attendees and exhibitors.

Lewis spoke with the show’s representatives, exhibitors, and presenters about a wide range of topics: from the latest solutions in food-packaging and food-processing technology, to how product-inspection and traceability technologies are evolving alongside federal and global food-safety regulations.

Here, Lewis had the opportunity to speak with John Beeze, Sales Manager at Bevcorp. Beeze speaks about the benefits, efficiencies, and safety features of new beverage-filling lines. Beeze tells Lewis that new bottling lines have features that offer processors increased safety benefits, added environmental benefits, and reductions in maintenance time… all of which add up to a bolstered bottom line for the manufacturer. Finally, Beeze notes that beverage processors seeking new equipment should identify equipment offering flexibility. According to Beeze, a bottling system should be able to fill and bottle several different types of products, not just one product per machine, and is currently a key driver of the bottling industry.
