Water Purification

HCCB uses the best-in-class 7-step water purification process to ensure the quality of water used in its portfolio of beverages including water for its consumers. The company also ensures consistency in the taste and flavor of its beverages worldwide through pH balancing, mineral content levels, flavor, and other specific requirements of water.

Beverage Making
Beverage Mixing

Beverage is made by mixing purified water with treated sugar and concentrate or beverage base (fruit pulp) in the right proportions as per the Master Mixing Instructions in stainless steel tanks. Depending on the kind of beverage, the mix, known as Final Syrup is then taken to the Paramix where the sparkling drinks are chilled up to 4*C for carbonation and the non-sparkling fruit juices are heated up to 96 to 98*C for pasteurization.

Filling
Filling

The final syrup is then blended with water through an automated proportioning process in controlled amounts and taken to the filler. The sparkling drinks are filled and sealed hygienically in glass, PET, Tetra pack, or CAN bottle in a cold condition, and fruits are generally filled in a hot condition in a highly sterile environment. All the empty bottles are first cleaned, sanitized, and approved through a 5-step Cleaned-In-Place (CIP) process before they are filled electro-pneumatically and sealed with the final beverages.

Capping
Capping

The bottles, cans, or tetra packs are immediately sealed with pressure-resistant closures at the capper or the crowner. The caps can be made of tinplate, recyclable plastic caps, or steel crowns with corrugated edges.

Labelling
Labelling

Each container after filling and capping is immediately date-coded with an automatic machine. Labels with requisite statutory product details along with nutritional information are then applied as a patch for returnable glass bottles and as a wraparound sheet for PET bottles. Cans and tetra packs are preprinted before filling.

Packaging
Packaging

The filled containers (bottles, cans, or tetra packs) get automatically arranged on a moving conveyor in a pack size configuration to suit the crate or case arrangement. Each pack at the end of the conveying section is then wrapped with transparent shrink films and then automatically lifted and loaded into a cardboard tray using pneumatic grippers for palletizing. The beverages are then shifted in the pallet forms to the warehouse for onward dispatch to the distributors.
