Nitro Hotfill First For 38mm Neck Format
Esterform has pioneered the use of a 38mm wide neck preform for juice brands Fortuna and Pysio.
Nitro Hotfill technology offers brand owner Fortuna Sp zoo an alternative to aseptic filling.
Until now the process technology has only been applied to narrower neck formats, but preform pioneers Esterform have designed and developed a stable 38mm neck format specifically for the process.
The process offers arguably greater flexibility of bottle design than aseptic.
The bottle design was developed by Esterform in conjunction with the filling line manufacturers Krones to replicate the brand’s current shelf identity.
Esterform’s manufacturing site in Tenbury Wells was the first in Europe to produce a PET preform. The company has recently invested £15 million in new injection and blow moulding platforms, and is currently establishing a manufacturing base in Poland.
