13. REAL CASE STUDIES CASE STUDY Head Space During Sterilisation of Beverage Client brief: that the actual filling was 210 ml instead of 200 ml. The excess filling was the cause of the breakages happening. The air inside a bottle is at room temperature at the time of packing. While sterilising the glass bottle, the air heats up and expands. Due to the bottle being filled with more than the 200 ml for which it was designed, the headspace was being drastically reduced, leaving no space for air to expand. Hence the breakage increased. Recognized as one of the leading producers of milk products in India since its inception in 1991. The company supplies a number of milk products including flavoured milk, UHT milk, whipping cream, coffee creamerand so on. Challenge faced: Increased breakage of glass bottles being used for flavoured milk. In fact, the breakage was quite significant at 6 percent. In other words, Out of 1 lac bottles 6000 were breaking. There was no change in any process/technique, either on our client's end or at our bottle manufacturingend. Lessons Learnt: There should be an 8 percent difference in empty space in the bottle if it is being sterilised. If the head space or the empty space is less, the bottle may break. In this case, the customer can pack a maximum of 204 ml. Diagnosis: Key Learning As per the design, the client was supposed to pack 200 ml milk in the glass bottles. The bottles had an overflow capacity (OFC) of 216 ml. We observed “After filling the product, about 8 percent of the bottle should be empty to sustain the pressure created inside the bottle.” Ajanta Bottle Newsletter | April 2023 13
