hour. As a result, COVAP is now producing
30 million PET bottles annually. Furthermore,
Sidel provided intense training for
operators to ensure successful production
on the line. “Since PET packaging is a new
territory for us, Sidel is the right long-term
partner to advise us in every phase and to
provide end-to-end solutions,” commented
Vidal Madrid, Director of Operations
well based on market preference. To meet
demand, COVAP partnered with Sidel for
the first time on a complete aseptic PET line
with the Sidel Aseptic Combi Predis™ at its
heart, after visiting various dairy plants using
Sidel’s equipment in Spain and Italy. The
line was installed not only for COVAP UHT
dairy products, but also for retailer brands
from hotel, restaurant and café channels.
Sidel experts worked in close collaboration
with COVAP from bottle design to
line start-up. The new PET bottles were designed
with a sleek shape, providing a similar
look and feel to glass bottles. Thanks to
the PET barrier properties, the shelf life of
milk drinks has been extended by 4 months
to retain their fresh taste. All three bottle
formats – 225 l, 1 l and 1.5 l – can be labelled
with sleeve or roll-fed labels based
on different brand positioning.
Thanks to 40 years of aseptic packaging
expertise, the safe and simple aseptic PET
line requires only a few operators and thus
facilitates a smooth and efficient production,
running at up to 13,200 bottles per

“After the launch of new PET bottles, consumer
reaction has been quite positive, especially
regarding the sleeve label, which
enhances the attractiveness of the LDPs.
Additionally, the retailer’s brands have also
been receiving high acceptance and satisfaction
with the new packaging,” concluded
Vidal.
