On-stand, hall 3, booth A3-4, Sidel will be showcasing aseptic packaging solutions and complete line innovations at Gulfood Manufacturing at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 5 – 7 November 2024.
Gulfood Manufacturing is the leading platform for the food and beverage industry in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region bringing together industry professionals to embrace the next era of food manufacturing, digital adoption and breakthrough innovations.
With five decades of packaging and processing expertise, Sidel will spotlight its industry-leading aseptic combi predis technology on-stand, as well as highlighting its super combi advanced technology solution for high-speed water and carbonated soft drinks.
As well as showcasing its award-winning bottle designs, Sidel will offer insights into how customers can maximize data intelligence and artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve their ESG goals.
World-leading aseptic solutions
Sidel will be highlighting on-stand the Aseptic Combi Predis, an integrated blow-fill-cap solution for PET bottles that incorporates Predis dry preform sterilisation.
Sidel’s Aseptic Combi Predis was selected by China’s leading food brand renowned for coconut milk, Hainan Chunguang Foodstaff Co., Bottled in Sidel’s premium PET design in a 350ml format, Hainan Chunguang’s installation can run 28,000 bottles-per-hour (bph) and the ability to utilise dry technology over traditional wet aseptic solutions helped the customer meet economic and environmental sustainability targets.
New innovations in high-speed water and carbonated soft drinks
With water and carbonated soft drinks (CSD) remaining two of the world’s most valuable beverage categories, Sidel will demonstrate its next-generation Super Combi technology to on-stand visitors.
The Super Combi integrates five process steps – preform feeder, blower, labeller, filler/capper and cap feeder – into an all-in-one smart system. To deliver this self-optimising performance and increased long-term value, it combines intelligent automation with innovative technologies to advance production and maintenance services.
Utilising the Super Combi solution, Sidel installed the fastest PET complete bottling water line in the Middle East, Africa and Asia for Mai Dubai, helping the UAE-based company take the next step towards becoming the region’s number one water brand.
Through a film demonstration, visitors to the stand can witness how the line fills 86,000 bottles per hour (bph) in three different formats (200ml, 330ml and 500ml), with the optimal use of space, high consistent quality, and efficiency with flexibility.
Digitalization, AI and ESG goals
“As well as seeing Sidel’s latest products and packaging innovations first-hand, visitors to our stand can also take the opportunity to discuss wider industry issues, challenges and solutions with our experts,” comments Bassam Oussaifi, VP sales, Middle East and Africa, Sidel.
“This could include how to maximize and integrate data intelligence to achieve peak performance through Sidel’s unique Evo-ON cloud suite; how the switch to recycled PET can help meet sustainability targets; or how production solutions can help manufacturers stay ahead of changing packaging waste regulations.”
Sidel’s Evo-ON is an AI-driven solution allowing real-time data analysis, predictive insights, and smarter decision-making in production environments.
Award-winning innovative packaging bottle design
Visitors can also examine StarLITE R, Sidel’s ultra-efficient 100% rPET bottle for carbonated soft drinks which addresses the challenges associated with working with recycled content.
With over 45 years of experience in PET packaging, Sidel has developed a deep understanding of recycled PET resin characteristics and its impact on bottle production. As a result, StarLITE R allows CSD producers to switch to rPET bottle production with ease and efficiency, while significantly reducing the impact on product quality or packaging integrity.
