Packaging
In the area of beverage filling, packaging has the function of maintaining the quality of the filled beverage as near to the original state as possible, until drunk by consumers. The first part of this contribution summarises the current conditions pertaining to filling in PET and the properties of plastic bottles.
For beverages which belong to the group of especially sensitive foodstuffs (including beer), this means that, if possible, no oxygen whatsoever penetrates through the packaging or the respective closure, that no carbon dioxide and no water vapour escapes from the packaging and that also sufficient protection from light must be ensured.
PEN bottles
In Germany, plastic bottles have not established themselves in beer filling.

True stories of success usually begin with a leap in the dark involving great courage as well as plenty of pioneering spirit. Even if these prerequisites are met, real stories of success come about very seldom on their own. A great deal of dedication, the

The use of glass packaging is widespread in the food and beverage industries. The reasons for this relate to the multiplicity of technical and technological advantages of glass as packaging material. However, the fragility of glass and the associated pote

A modern keg plant with several lines or rotary machines is complex, with hundreds of valves, pressure switches, temperature sensors and other components. Even the best maintenance and repair cannot prevent malfunctions arising from time to time. The dete

The use of PET bottles for filling beer has been discussed for a number of years. PET has meanwhile established itself as packaging for soft drinks. A great variety of beverages are filled in plastic bottles: mineral water, CSD, ACE drinks and ice teas. T

The phenomenon of dull film formation on washed bottles has been known for a long time; a search for the causes has, however, not been done because the factors giving rise to this effect are very diverse. The main objectives here are to identify fundamen

Thanks to a wide range of developments of the Plastic Industry aimed at increasing gas barrier performances of polyester bottles, the Beer Industry has now got new opportunities to pack and sell its products in consumer friendly containers: a new 2-piece plastic cap, “Tapsid BO2S” from Bericap, supplements these innovations in order to provide high barrier packaging systems requested by beer to withstand shelf life requirements of large scale distribution and keep up its gustatory qualities.
As a plastic screw cap, Tapsid BO2S answers to three main concerns of the Brewery Industry: primarily, to seal the bottle safely; secondly, to provide tamper-evidence; and finally, to maintain the beer quality. 1)..

When filling carbonated beverages in glass bottles, the main focus is on carbon dioxide in terms of gas permeability of bottle closures. For oxygen-sensitive beverages such as beer or ACE drinks, oxygen permeability is the governing factor. Emphasis has thus to be placed on these two gases when looking at permeation through bottle closures.

In a university degree thesis prepared at the Technical University of Cologne, the effect of purifying caustic solution using microfiltration, ultrafiltration and nanofiltration was investigated and comparatively assessed based on objective criteria. This paper summarises the results.
Filtration of caustic solutions on bottle washers has been a very controversial subject for some time. Proponents claim an improvement in washing function of caustic, possibly together with an extension of life cycle, as well as savings on caustic additives and anti-foaming agents resulting from the fact that the caustic is generally cleaner. Subjective observations are advanced to support these statements, e.g. Josef Früh, Cologne/Germany. Table 1 provides the main data on the modules.
