ESL instead of UHT with two new milk bottling lines in Thailand

摘要

The first ESL milk bottling line in Asia to feature Krones' weighing fillers: in 2006, CP-Meiji ventured into virgin territory at its Saraburi facility, around 120 km to the north of Bangkok, by filling milk with an extended shelf-life of up to 30 days in HOPE bottles for the first time. For this purpose, CP-Meiji installed two milk filler BLOCs from Krones, each featuring a VPGW weighing filler and a Variojet triple-channel rinser. While the first of the two filler BLOCs was being commissioned, CP-Meiji completely discontinued its cartoning operation for UHT milk, which had become unprofitable. CP-Meiji, a joint venture owned by the Thai animal feed producer CP and the Japanese Meiji Group, is one of Thailand's largest dairy companies.
