Intop Machine® Low-Cost Almond Milk Production Solution

PET Bottle Filling | Designed for Emerging Markets

Solution Overview

The Intop Machine® Low-Cost Almond Milk Production Solution is specially developed for customers with limited investment budgets, especially in Yemen, Africa, and Middle East markets.
This solution focuses on food safety, cost efficiency, and practical operation, enabling stable almond milk production using PET bottles without high-temperature treatment after filling.

Core Technical Concept

Sterilize the almond milk before filling, not the PET bottle after filling.

By completing sterilization upstream and using cold filling combined with bottle disinfection, this solution:

• Avoids PET bottle deformation
• Reduces energy consumption
• Minimizes equipment investment
• Ensures product safety and shelf life
