Hauser Weinimport was one of the first manufacturers to install Sidel’s Combi Predis for aseptic PET packaging with patented dry preform sterilisation technology. The line, now operating for over 15 years, has now perfectly produced over 600 million bottles, offering the manufacturer both product and operational reliability.
The family-run company based in Bavaria, Germany, Hauser Weinimport was founded in the 1950s. The company’s production originally focused on vermouths and liqueurs; now its offering mainly includes non-alcoholic soft drinks and flavoured teas in PET bottles including flagship names Pacific Wave, Bio Eistee and Eistee Premium. Hauser is recognised as a leading company in the beverage industry and reliable copacker for multiple brands.
“Hauser Weinimport is always looking at trends and striving for innovation. This is what we found in common with Sidel” said Ms. Mayer, CEO at Hauser Weinimport
Manufacturing flexibility
The aseptic line, installed by Sidel at its Fischbach plant, offers the beverage producer total flexibility with an ability to fill different tea flavours and the signature Sangria beverage, El Curador. The line can operate at 18,000 bottles per hour in the 0.5L format, as well as handle 1L and 1.5L bottle formats.
“When the thread neck diameter remains unchanged, as it does with many of our products, our highly trained operators can complete product changeovers quickly, minimising system downtime," comments Florian Kotnig, Head of Production at Hauser Weinimport.
