RPC launches new packaging for functional beverages

RPC Bramlage used its unique technology to produce FreshCan's new beverage cans, setting off a new wave in the sports health beverage market.

Many functional beverages contain active ingredients, but the active ingredients have a short life in a liquid environment and can fail. To avoid this problem, RPC developed FreshCan beverage cans, which were filled with RPC Bramlage's plastic capsules called “wedges” inside the beverage cans. Before the beverage cans are opened, the active ingredient is stored in dry plastic capsules without contact with the beverage, and after the cans are opened, the active ingredient is released from the capsules into the beverage.

To mature the product and launch it on the market, RPC Bramlage has teamed up with Ball Packaging Europe and Deguss a FreshTech Beverages to develop the technology. Among them, Ball Packaging Europe is a leading beverage manufacturer in Europe, and Degussa FreshTech Beverages has joined the task of solving the filling problem of active ingredients into capsules.

The production of this product requires precise set-point and hole-opening technologies. The success of the new product proves that RPC Bramlage has precise molding technology and professional small-part production capabilities. During the development process, RPC Bramlage was responsible for selecting the right plastic material and designing the shape of the capsule. Ball Packaging Europe was responsible for the filling of the active ingredient and the canning test of the capsule. The biggest difficulty they encountered was how to make the capsule water-resistant and could be easily opened when it was opened? RPC Bramlage demonstrated its outstanding innovation in resolving this conflicting issue.

In FreshCan's design, the capsules were not fixed to the bottom of the tank, but were free to float in the beverage. This was a major demand from Ball Packaging Europe. RPC Bramlage had done a lot of work for this and eventually made the capsules have a certain amount of Suspension. The beverage can also has a reliable can opening device. When the beverage can is opened, the pressure inside the capsule pushes off the cap and the active ingredient is mixed with the liquid. In this way, beverage cans and capsules can be produced separately, facilitating the filling of capsules.

FreshCan technology has broad application prospects. Based on this technology, milk and sports energy drink manufacturers can develop more types of beverages.

New York Brain Twist Company first seized the newly packaged business opportunity and launched the Defense Vitamin Mineral Drink in the United States.
