The IDF Dairy Innovation Awards is a partnership initiative between The International Dairy Federation and FoodBev Media’s Dairy Innovation magazine. Sidel is a leading supplier of eco-friendly PET packaging for milk.
“With its long history in serving the dairy industry with new plastic bottling solutions, Sidel is a perfect associate for the inaugural IDF Dairy Innovation Awards,” said FoodBev Media group editorial director, Bill Bruce. “Over the past decade, Sidel’s continuous innovations have made a major contribution to PET as an alternative for the dairy industry. Sidel has also introduced technologies enabling increasingly eco-friendly production. That makes the company a good match for an awards scheme designed to celebrate excellence in the global dairy industry.”
The fundamental technological choice from Sidel is the Combi. The solutions are based on the key idea of combining three fundamental functions in a single machine: blow-molding, filling, and capping. The benefits include productive efficiency, low costs, and a greater return on investment. This solution has been widely used for all types of dairy applications, from pasteurized, ESL to aseptic, for white and flavoured milks, drinking yogurts dairy products with fruit pieces, and probiotics.
The Predis technology is the latest breakthrough from Sidel. This is a dry sterilization of the PET preform which is eco-friebdly (no water for sterilization), practical (no sealing lid) and economical (bottle lightweighting). Predis recently qualified with the most complex application: UHT milk at ambient temperature. It also features great flexibility and allows the personalising of bottle shapes. For consumers, it is both practical and safe.
Ingredients company Tate & Lyle is also an associate sponsor of the IDF Dairy Innovation Awards.
