Milk Link first to use A3i Line technology

*The UK's Milk Link has completed a £1.5m investment programme at its Crediton long-life milk processing facility with the installation of an advanced A3i Line Tetra Square high speed filler. *

Milk Link is the first business in the UK to have this new generation filling machine and is currently the only business in the world to use this technology in the dairy industry.

The new A3i Line fills at a rate of 15,000 litres per hour, more than double the rate of older filling machines, enabling Milk Link to significantly improve efficiencies at Crediton.

The new filler will deliver the new square pack format which, since its introduction by Milk Link, has played an important role in reinvigorating the long-life milk category.

The square pack has now been extended to cover long-life milks being produced by Milk Link for customers such as Sainsbury’s and Morrisons as well as its growing moo brand.

Brian Kerr, Head of Operations at Crediton, said: “The installation of the A3i filler is a further demonstration of our commitment to be at the forefront of cutting-edge dairy technology. It will allow us to be more efficient and deliver the next generation of products and packaging for our customers."
