    Hot-filled, still (non-carbonated) beverages

    Hot-fill for still beverages

    Every thermal process runs under a validated scheduled process reviewed by a process authority.

    How hot-fill works

    1. Heat the drink
    2. Fill it hot
    3. Cap it
    4. Cool it

    The drink is heated, filled hot and capped right away, so the heat also treats the inside of the bottle and cap. Then it's cooled for packing.

    Ideal applications

    • Lemonades
    • Iced teas
    • Juice drinks
