Pulsed Light, a high-performance technology for microbiological safety
The non-carbonated beverage market is booming: juices, teas, infusions, flavored waters, plant-based and functional drinks… These more natural, less sweetened, preservative-free, vitamin-rich products are often more sensitive. They require high-performance packaging decontamination solutions that respect taste and are adapted to industrial constraints.
Claranor meets these challenges with its Pulsed Light decontamination technology, an innovative alternative to traditional thermal or chemical treatments.
An effective alternative to hot-filling sterilization
Pulsed light eliminates the need for a hot-filling process and its associated constraints:
- No need to tilt bottles after filling to decontaminate the cap
- Less thermal stress on container and product
- Faster, more targeted treatment, with greater microbiological efficacy than heat treatment at 85°C for a few seconds.
Towards more natural beverage formulations
Thanks to effective decontamination of caps, cans & cans-end, and bottle preform neck, beverage producers can reduce or even eliminate preservatives in their recipes.
A major opportunity for brands aiming for clean label products with fewer additives, while ensuring microbiological safety.
A solution that respects the product… and the planet
Claranor’s Pulsed Light acts without contact and without chemicals, helping to:
- The integrity of the packaging
- Product taste and organoleptic qualities, with no risk of chemical residues in the product
- Sensitive beverage formulations (low acidity, rich in vitamins, etc.)
- The environment, thanks to very low energy consumption and no need for effluent management
A decontamination solution adapted to different types of packaging on filling lines
A decontamination solution adapted to different types of packaging on filling lines
Claranor solutions can be easily integrated into production lines, including high-speed lines, and can be adapted to a wide variety of closure systems, guaranteeing effective decontamination, whatever the format:
- Flat caps: standard in the beverage industry, they can be processed efficiently at high speeds without contact.
- Sport caps: often used for functional or children’s drinks, they require special attention due to their complex geometry.
- Metal caps :
- Bottle preforms: Pulsed Light sterilization of the inside and outside of the preform neck.
- Cans & cans-ends: our solution ensures contact-free, residue-free sterilization of cans and lids prior to filling.
What’s more, Claranor machines are compact, enabling them to be integrated into existing or new lines, without compromising speed or ergonomics. Claranor offers its customers standard solutions adapted to the type of closure, production speed and space constraints.
Claranor supports manufacturers in their transition to more sustainable, more efficient production
