Q & A
Where did soft drinks originate?
-Soft drinks were first created at drugstores, specifically at soda fountains where pharmacists served carbonated water, initially considered a medicinal drink.
What caused the demand for bottled soft drinks?
-As soft drinks became popular, customers wanted to buy them in bottles to take home, which led to the birth of the soft drink industry.
How much soft drink was sold worldwide in 2003?
-In 2003, almost 195 billion liters of soft drinks were sold globally, which equals about 30 liters per person on Earth.
Why do the bottles need to be cleaned before being filled?
-Although the bottles are brand new, they need to be cleaned to remove any contaminants before they are filled with the soft drink.
What process is involved in cleaning the bottles?
-The cleaning process involves turning the bottles upside down and flushing them with water to clean them, using a rinsing machine that then drains the water before the bottles are righted.
What are the main ingredients in soft drink syrup?
-The syrup for soft drinks is a mix of various ingredients including natural and artificial coloring, flavoring, and different types of sugar such as glucose, fructose, and those extracted from beets, corn, or cane.
How is carbonation introduced into soft drinks?
-Carbonation is introduced to the soft drink through a pressurized tank called the carbonator, where carbon dioxide gas is injected into the liquid.
What is the process for capping the bottles?
-The capping machine pushes caps down a chute using filtered air, then twists them onto the bottle, tightly sealing them to ensure they are airtight.
How are labels applied to the bottles?
-Labels are applied by a machine that uses a roller to apply cold glue to metal plates, which then pick up the labels and place them on the bottles while ensuring the labels adhere properly.
What happens to the returned glass bottles?
-Returned glass bottles are unloaded from cases and sent through a washing machine that uses powerful water jets and soap to clean them. After rinsing, they are inspected and then reused in the bottling process.
