From fruit to glass – How the orange gets into the bottle


The fascinating orange: blossoms and fruits ripen together. The freshly picked fruits and pressed immediately after harvesting. Eckes-Granini uses only special juicy, vitamin-rich types of oranges. Before pressing, the fruits undergo a first visual quality check. The machines press each orange individually in the wink of an eye. 15,000 tonnes of orange juice travel by ship from Brazil to Europe ... … and are distributed to processing plants in refrigerated tank lorries. This small blank is converted into a big PET bottle. PET bottles are “blown” immediately before they are filled with juice. Product quality is checked in accordance with strict criteria during every phase of production. This PET aseptic filling unit fills 24,000 bottles per hour. Bottle caps are produced under absolutely sterile clean-room conditions. The bottles are filled with juice and then capped. The final test: Quality is checked again after filling. All that is missing now is the label. Tasting by our experts is an important step in the quality assurance process.
