Predis™ is suitable for aseptic beverage bottling for low or high acid products. The Combi Predis FMa technology replaces bottle rinsing by dry preforms decontamination using hydrogen peroxide. The solution does not require any water and creates no effluent, saving 250 cubic meters of water and 200 liters of chemicals used daily on a traditional aseptic bottling line. Dry preforms decontamination also cuts annual operating costs by 30 percent compared to traditional dry bottle decontamination. It enables sterilization of all types of preforms and caps and is available in different configurations. Since bottles are blown from decontaminated preforms, the empty bottle does not endure any thermal stress and can be given any shape and design.
