GEA Beverage - White & Safe bottle for dairy products

April 08, 2015
White & Safe is a 1 liter PET bottle with a 33/15 neck finish that weighs just 21g and it is believed to be the lightest of its size on the market.
White & Safe bottle is designed specifically for ESL and UHT milk applications and features a variable concentration of light barrier additive.
The White & Safe PET bottle, developed by GEA together with PET Engineering and Novapet, provides users the opportunity of customizing the light protection level. That is possible simply by adjusting the concentration of TiO2 based solution (DCU® by Novapet) in the preform, in order to match the needs of each individual product. By doing so it has provided a level of control over operating costs that it has not been possible to date, and there is no need for dedicated technology for the injection process.
