Ensure Safety of Beverages During Storage and Transportation

PET bottles are one of the most widely used options for packaging aerated drinks and pressurised beverages all across the globe. Reason being, the PET bottles are highly strong easily available and low cost. This is why most of the beverage manufacturers and processors prefer to use PET bottles to package their products. Now one issue with the aerated and pressurised drinks is that they have a lot of inbuilt pressure that can exert huge amounts of force on the inner walls of the PET bottles. When the bottles are handled roughly during storage and transit, they produce excess of carbon dioxide that creates immense pressure inside the bottles. Now if the bottles are not strong enough, they can easily burst and compromise the quality of the drinks inside the bottles.

The GV shaker is one of the most commonly used testing instrument that is used by the bottling plants to test the amount of gases produced by aerated drinks when they are shaken during transportation. This helps the manufacturers in deciding the amount of drinks to be packaged in a single bottle and also the amount of pressure that a single bottle can bear without compromising the quality of the drinks. With the help of this instrument, the manufacturers of the bottles as well as the beverages can ensure that the products will stay intact and safe during the handling and transit.
