Launched officially by Sidel in 2024, Hydra Ultrasonic combines traditional washing with ultrasonic technology to achieve unprecedented cleaning performance, while significantly reducing water, energy and chemical consumption.
A decision driven by sustainability goals
In Thailand, as like many other countries across the region, returnable glass bottles play a significant role in the beverage value chain. Washing quality is therefore a critical factor to ensure consumer safety and experience, while also extending bottle lifetime and supporting circular economy models.
“Returnable glass bottles make up a significant portion of the diverse packaging mix we offer to suit the needs of our customers and consumers. Cleanliness and safety of the bottles are our top priority. We are delighted to be the first Coca-Cola bottler in Asia to utilize Sidel’s Hydra Ultrasonic bottle washer in our operation,” said Nicholas Nixon, Vice President of Manufacturing at ThaiNamthip Corporation PLC.
“The Hydra Ultrasonic washer has been installed at our Pathumthani Plant, which serves as our centre of excellence for returnable glass bottles production. Not only does the washer offer superior cleaning performance, but it also supports us in our sustainability efforts to improve water use efficiency and energy efficiency within our operation, in line with our sustainability strategy, ‘Our Choice, Our Future!’. As a leader in Thailand’s beverage industry, we are proud to make the right choices and actions that bring benefits to our communities and our planet, while also ensuring optimum efficiency.”
