New beverage filling line for a sustainable future

On Tuesday, April 12, 2022, a new beverage filling line was commissioned at Ramseier Suisse AG in Sursee. According to the company, the total cost of this line was 19 million Swiss francs. As part of the official commissioning, the new product RAMSEIER's Huus-Tee Swiss Fruits was bottled. With this new PET wide-neck filling line, the nationally renowned beverage producer is now able to respond to customer needs in an even more flexible and agile manner, according to the company. The investment is an important part of Ramseier Suisse AG's commitment to sustainability. "The reduced pre- and post-run during filling further reduces product losses per batch and thus food waste," explains Managing Director Christoph Richli. The plant to be replaced had been in operation for 19 years.

The bottling hall at the Sursee site was extended in advance to make room for the new line. The new line will be used to bottle still, non-carbonated beverages. The development of this product segment has been very positive in recent years, as evidenced by the popularity of RAMSEIER's Huus tea. For this reason, the company has decided to invest in a line on which only beverages in PET wide-neck bottles are filled. The line has a filling capacity of 12,000 PET bottles per hour. In addition to the new beverage filling line, the Sursee site also operates a PET filling line for narrow-neck bottles, a glass filling line, two lines for soft packs, and a bag-in-box filling line. www.ramseier.ch
