At Drinktec India 2025, Clearpack Group, a Singapore-headquartered manufacturer and supplier of automatic packaging solutions, with manufacturing facilities in Noida, Pune, and Italy, highlighted its range of end-to-end packaging automation for the beverage industry.
Speaking at the event, Prasanna Nibandhe, who leads the beverage division at Clearpack, highlighted the company’s latest innovations designed to help beverage manufacturers enhance speed, efficiency, and sustainability. “Drinktec is the right platform to demonstrate technologies for our key beverage customers. Every year, we receive strong engagement from visitors, and it was the same this year as well,” he said.
One of Clearpack’s key highlights at the show was its Invospeed shrink wrapper, engineered to deliver 40 packs per minute, offering beverage producers a compact and reliable solution for high-volume operations. Alongside, Clearpack showcased a 12-head rotary leveller, a system increasingly in demand across the beverage sector. With the capability to support lines running at 300 bottles per minute (bpm), the leveller is targeted at brands seeking consistency and precision at scale.
Addressing the needs of packaged drinking water and other beverage manufacturers, the company demonstrated its 300 bpm rinsing–filling–capping (RFC) machine from Torq. Torq, originally an Italian company and now part of the Clearpack Group, adds global expertise to the company’s growing beverage machinery portfolio.
For home and personal care brands exploring automation, Clearpack had its wraparound case-packing solution, including a case erector, packer, and sealer capable of handling 18 boxes per minute.
A notable industry trend, according to Nibandhe, is the growing push for high-speed production lines. “With new entrants such as Reliance setting benchmarks for efficiency and cost competitiveness, Clearpack is also scaling its line capabilities from 300 and 400 bpm to 600 bpm, enabling customers to reduce operational costs while maintaining high output consistency.”
Sustainability remains a core focus for Clearpack. The company is preparing to manufacture PET blowing machines in India, supporting the use of recycled PET and advancing circularity in beverage packaging. “PET is one of the most sustainable and recyclable materials and can be reused multiple times,” Nibandhe said.
