Step 01
Water Purification
Following a stringent 7-step water purification process, alongside processes to balance pH and mineral content levels, HCCB ensures that their beverage-making process doesn't just adhere to quality standards but also has consistent flavouring across beverages sold worldwide.

Step 02
Beverage Mixing
Beverage making process involves mixing the beverage. Here a final syrup is created per the Master Mixing Instructions. This final syrup is a mix of a precise proportion of purified water with treated sugar and a fruit pulp concentrate (beverage base) that is concocted in stainless steel tanks. Next, the sparkling drinks are chilled at 4°C for carbonation while the non-sparkling drinks are heated at 96 to 98°C for pasteurisation in the paramix.

Step 03
Filling
An automated proportioning process blends the final syrup with water and specific amounts are then taken to the filler located in a sterile environment. Prior to being filled, the glass, tetra packs, cans and PET bottles are cleaned and sanitized through a 5-step Cleaned-In-Place (CIP) process. The beverage filling process requires cooler temperatures set to fill sparkling drinks and warmer temperatures set to fill non-sparkling drinks before being electro-pneumatically filled and then sealed.

Step 04
Capping
Through a well-organised bottle capping process, caps made of tinplate, recyclable plastics or steel (with corrugated edges) help seal bottles, cans or tetra packs with pressure-resistant closures at either the capper or crowner.

Step 05
Labelling
Labels in the form of a patch and wraparound sheets are applied on returnable glass bottles and PET bottles respectively, whereas cans and tetra packs are pre-printed before filing. Automated bottle labelling machines immediately date-code labels on containers after they are filled and capped.

Step 06
Packaging
Before being sent off to distributors or shifted to warehouses, the filled beverage containers are arranged on a conveyor belt to be packaged. The bottle packaging process involves the bottles being arranged according to the package size and fitted in crates or cases before ultimately being wrapped (with transparent shrink films) and dispatched.
