As consumer demand accelerates toward extended shelf life (ESL) dairy beverages and chilled juices, retailers are pushing for longer distribution windows, reduced waste, and consistent product quality. To meet these challenges, processors are turning to ESL technologies to strengthen margins, improve sustainability, and expand their reach.This webinar explores how modern hygienic and aseptic filling design enables longer shelf life without compromising taste, freshness, or nutritional integrity. Using the GEA Whitebloc AERO ESL Filling System as a real world example, we’ll examine how integrated blowing, filling, and capping solutions help producers meet today’s expectations for food safety, flexibility, and operational efficiency.
