GEA Process Engineering is increasing its focus on promoting the GEA Procomac brand in the UK as it introduces a new range of technology for Aseptic Blow Filling of sterile beverages, fillers for dairy applications and the new ARTIS/EVO six-layer/minute palletising system.
GEA Procomac, a globally trusted brand for bottling and filling technology, became part of GEA five years ago. Since then GEA Process Engineering (UK) has focussed on servicing the after sales needs of the UK’s large installed base of fillers for the soft drinks industry. However, since the appointment of Ian Jack as the UK Sales Manager for GEA Procomac last year, the company has turned its attention to promoting the latest developments in Aseptic Blow Filling and advanced palletising under the GEA Procomac brand to the UK market.
As well as its proven range of filling machinery for the UK soft drinks industry, the GEA Procomac brand has become known as a worldwide market leader for aseptic filling with its unique ABF (Aseptic Blow Filling) technology, and supplies advanced palletising systems such as the six-layer/minute ARTIS EVO that took centre stage at drinktec in Munich last year. The company has also developed a range of fillers specifically designed for the dairy industry. These machines, with a capacity from 6,000 to 48,000bph, can fill HDPE or PET bottles with milk products, UHT milk base with shelf life up to 12 months, or ESL (Extended Shelf Life) with shelf life up to 120 days, with no limit to the shape or dimensions of the bottles.
Ian Jack said that the global reputation of GEA Procomac is rapidly enhancing the company’s awareness in the UK. “We have seen a significant rise in the number of enquiries for both our standard and aseptic products in recent years,” said Ian. “This is an encouraging sign and we aim to do all we can to continue the good work and improve our UK awareness even further.”
The wide range of GEA Procomac technology now available in the UK meets the needs of today’s soft drinks manufacturers. GEA is increasingly recognised worldwide for its scope of supply, technical know-how and as a designer and supplier of complete bottling lines.
