The water is offered in various types of packaging PET, glass und cans. The manufacturing plant is equipped with eight pro- duction lines with an output varying between 12,000 to 20,000bph. Six of the lines have an output of 20,000bph. One of the lines is the universal line dedicated to the production of 0.7l PET bottles, 0.3 and 0.7l glass bottles and 0.33l cans. The water filled on this line uses a patented saturation method called “perlage”. This saturation device enables a maxi- mum of 17,500 bottles and 12,000 cans per hour to be produced. The logistic centre is able to load up to 200 trucks per day. For the preforms they work with various suppliers WIP, Hanex, Alpla and with Bericap, Mika, Aptar and CSI Closures for caps, O-I for glass bottles and Ball Packaging for cans. Cisowianka uses the following equipment for bot- tling - KHS, Sidel, Krones, SMI, CFT. Perlage mineral water (available in PET, glass and now in cans) is - carbonated with CO 2 of natu- ral origin. Last year (2012) Cisowianka presented a new idea in water packaging, Perlage in cans with temperature indicator. According to Emanuele Piva, Sales Manager at the CFT, responsible for installing the bottling line at Cisowianka “the market perspec- tives for canned water are very promising, there has been a 5% increase in the global market during the past year. One of the advantages of this packaging made from aluminium is that it is completely recyclable. The can also is more suitable for cooling the water to the appropriate temperature, especially important in the summer. It is also very convenient - easily fits in the pocket, handbag and is light and unbreak- able. Even more important, the can is opened and consumed “at once” which makes it especially suit- able for a variety of social events. www.cisowianka.pl
