GoodWest Industries started as a small dairy in Pennsylvania, USA, and has grown into a multi-national company specializing in shelf-stable dairy products, iced coffee, liquid sugar, iced tea, and nacho cheese. They've grown steadily over the last 15 years using SIG bag-in-box packaging but needed a new packaging solution for their line of coffee products.
The challenge: low acid for a new market
GoodWest was ready to take the next step in production and market penetration and needed a reliable, high-speed, low-acid filler to meet customer demand.
The solution: Success through collaboration
Through in-depth planning sessions and development phases, we worked with GoodWest to define a strict set of criteria for a successful low-acid bag-in-box filler. We identified the following needs:
- High throughput
- Sterilization capabilities
- Aseptic filling ability
The result: finding the right tool for the job
The SIG SureFill 30 low-acid aseptic bag-in-box filler increased GoodWest's production capabilities by nearly 75%. The filler is versatile and allows for filling through different spouts and can work with several SIG fitments, allowing for future product and market expansion.
Here's what the SureFill 30 can do:
