De Melkcentrale N.V.Bottle & cup line requirement

Equipment requirement · Bottle making, filling and cup line

From carton to bottle.

从纸盒到瓶装:吹瓶、制盖、灌装及杯装完整生产线

De Melkcentrale N.V. (MCP) is moving its milk from cartons to its own HDPE bottles. MCP needs one complete line that makes bottles, caps and cups in Paramaribo and fills every dairy product it makes: 25,000 units in one 8-hour shift.

For investors

What the line changes for MCP

MCP already processes local and recombined milk and sells it through its own outlets and distributors. The new line moves the packaging in-house and opens a bottled range. This page describes what is needed; financial figures are shared separately.

Local production

Packaging made in Suriname

Bottles, caps and cups are made on site from resin. Today printed cups come from Europe, about 394,000 per order and around three months from order to arrival.

Quality

Fresher milk on the shelf

A three-layer HDPE wall keeps light away from the milk. Filling runs under HEPA filtered air and every bottle closes with a tamper-evident cap.

Range

More products on one line

Six products, two bottle sizes and a 500 ml cup. The 250 ml bottle opens schools and on-the-go sales.

Capacity

Room to grow

Sized for 25,000 units in one shift. The filler can run a second shift; blow moulding is the step to plan for when volumes rise.

Risk

Proven equipment

Every machine in the line is a standard type that large dairies run today. Manufacturers quote around four months lead time for a blow moulder.

People

Skills on site

The manufacturer installs, commissions and trains MCP operators and technicians in Paramaribo, so MCP runs and maintains the line itself.

Packaging

Three formats, one family

三种包装,一个系列

Two square HDPE bottles share one 38 mm neck and one cap. The 500 ml cup follows the printed PP cups MCP imports today. Pick a product to see its cap colour and label.

Process

From raw material to finished product

从原料到成品

Four material streams meet at the fillers: milk, bottles, caps and cups. Everything with a coloured outline is equipment MCP asks manufacturers to quote. Tags match the 3D line and the specification.
