Coca-Cola Enterprises signs up for PDX technology

Pursuit Dynamics, the developer of the PDX innovative fluid processing technology, announces an agreement with Coca-Cola to supply a PDX 25 unit for use in the production of soft drinks

Pursuit Dynamics, the developer of the PDX innovative fluid processing technology, announced on the 23rd November that it has signed an agreement with Coca-Cola Enterprises, to supply a PDX 25 unit for use in the production of soft drinks.

Coca-Cola Enterprises is the UK subsidiary of Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc, which is the world's largest marketer, manufacturer and bottler of the brands from the Coca-Cola Company.

The company is responsible for the manufacturing and distribution of 'Coca-Cola' products in Great Britain, supplying around 240 million cases every year.

This is the first installation of the PDX 25 in the soft drinks sector but the technology is already delivering dramatic process efficiency and quality improvements to the liquid foods industry.

It cuts cooking times by up to 95% and cleaning time by up to 80%.

It has been shown by one leading manufacturer of prepared food to produce a twenty-fold decrease in process times for mixing, blending and cooking of sauces, soups, stocks and chutneys.

The patented PDX simultaneously heats, mixes and pumps.

It can be used to transport fluids with high solids content, entrain different materials, heat ingredients or blend recipes.

Furthermore, with no moving parts to clog or block, PDX is CIP compatible and offers the potential for significantly reduced cleaning times compared with conventional processing equipment.
