Sidel is set to make a strong return to CBST 2025, China’s premier technology-focused beverage industry exhibition, showcasing its latest innovations in aseptic technology and complete line solutions. Reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency, Sidel will present cutting-edge advancements designed to meet evolving consumer and industry demands.
Sidel will showcase its Aseptic Predis X4, an integrated blow-fill-cap solution incorporating Predis™ dry preform sterilization—a game-changer in aseptic packaging. Manufactured at Sidel’s Beijing plant with a robust local supply chain, this technology supports the rapidly expanding Chinese aseptic market, projected to reach $20 billion by 2028.
Predis™ technology ensures high-level decontamination by injecting hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) into preforms before heating, significantly reducing contamination risks. Complementing this, Qual-IS™, Sidel’s digital quality management solution, provides real-time monitoring and traceability for uncompromised food safety.
Sidel’s Beijing plant has successfully deployed nearly 30 Aseptic Predis Combi solutions across China and Asia, including three high-speed complete lines for CR Beverage, achieving a 100% first-time pass rate for aseptic validation. At Sidel’s booth, visitors can explore cutting-edge packaging technologies designed to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and performance. A key highlight is Actis, a revolutionary plasma coating solution that extends the shelf life of PET bottles while enabling lightweighting. Actis has also received Design® for Recyclability Recognition from the Association of Plastic Recyclers, reinforcing its role in sustainable packaging solutions.
For large container production, Sidel presents the EvoBLOW XL, the industry’s fastest PET bottle blower for containers up to 10 liters. Capable of producing 18,000 bottles per hour with an impressive 98% Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), EvoBLOW XL sets a new standard in high-speed, energy-efficient manufacturing. This innovation ensures both high output and operational excellence for beverage manufacturers.
To maintain consistent bottle quality, Sidel introduces IntelliADJUST™, an advanced quality control system that ensures uniform PET bottle production. It is particularly beneficial for manufacturers integrating recycled PET (rPET), optimizing material use while maintaining product integrity. This intelligent system allows businesses to meet sustainability goals without compromising on production standards.
Additionally, Sidel’s Evo-ON®, a cloud-based intelligence suite, provides real-time equipment monitoring, instant alerts, and data-driven insights to optimize production performance 24/7. This digital solution enhances efficiency by offering proactive maintenance, reducing downtime, and improving operational control. Through smart automation and data analytics, Sidel continues to push the boundaries of next-generation packaging technologies.
With the Asia-Pacific eco-friendly packaging market forecasted to reach USD 98.8 billion by 2029, sustainability is at the forefront of beverage packaging. Sidel will showcase its StarLITE®R range—bottle bases optimized for 100% rPET, enabling seamless transitions to sustainable production without compromising product quality or integrity. CBST 2025, taking place from March 5-7 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, brings together key players in the beverage supply chain.
