Sidel is set to make a debut at the 52nd Dairy Industry Conference and Exhibition 2026; showcasing how its Aseptic Combi Predis and advanced digital quality control platform, Qual-IS, are shaping the future of India’s fast evolving dairy sector, it says.
India remains not only the world’s largest dairy producer, but one of its most rapidly changing, too. Rising awareness for health, accelerating urbanisation and a surge in demand for functional dairy beverages are currently reshaping the market. From high protein drinks to probiotic formulations and low sugar options, consumers increasingly expect convenient, nutritious products with extended shelf lives.
At Stand F4A, Sidel will demonstrate how its pioneering aseptic portfolio directly responds to these needs, according to the company. “As demand surges for safer, longer lasting and value-added dairy products across the region, Sidel will demonstrate how its aseptic technologies are helping producers raise food safety standards, unlock new growth opportunities and deliver the next generation of dairy beverages with greater efficiency, reliability and confidence with highest safety,” comments Harbinder Kathuria, vice president South Asia, Sidel.
A key focus of Sidel’s presence at the event is the Aseptic Combi Predis, the company’s flagship integrated blow-fill-cap solution. It offers dry preform sterilisation technology. By sterilising packaging at the preform stage, the system minimises contamination risk, streamlines production and supports uninterrupted operation. It removes the need for empty bottle handling and storage, boosts overall efficiency and advances sustainability goals through reduced water and chemical consumption. The technology also extends shelf life, enabling producers to distribute products more widely while maintaining freshness.
The latest evolution of the Aseptic Combi Predis range is the Aseptic Predis X4, a packaging solution that offers aseptic technology through an enhanced design and digitalisation capabilities. The Aseptic Predis X4 features innovative QSense filling, the safest valve for aseptic PET packaging of teas, juices, nectars, isotonics and liquid dairy, including UHT and soy milk, and can run up to 240 hours of continuous production without stopping for cleaning or sterilisation
Sidel has also recently introduced Qual-IS, a digital quality control platform designed to support the growing needs of India’s aseptic dairy and beverage producers. The system centralises key quality functions such as sampling plans, laboratory management, traceability, HACCP oversight, calibration records and overall quality status into one accessible interface across mobile devices, desktop and production line human-machine interfaces.
