GEA Procomac trials breakthrough White & Safe milk bottle in Italy

“Until today, traditional packaging for long shelf-life white milk was connected with the carton, or with HDPE, multilayer solutions,”​ Ventelli (pictured) product manager at GEA Procomac, tells DairyReporter.com.

“Today it’s possible to have long shelf life also with PET with white milk, due to the possibility of a full light barrier, with a special ingredient…It’s possible to inject this solution into the PET during the master batch,”​ he says of GEA Procomac's innovation.

“It’s a very easy technical solution without any particular technology connected to it, and we obtain full barrier PET. We can dose in different concentrations to achieve different shelf lives,”​ Ventrelli says.
