Break Through

In 1977, Chandigarh Bottling Co., a franchise of Parle Exports Pvt. Ltd. – bottling THUMS UP, fed up with their slow speed and outdated Italian make Counter Pressure Filler, approached HILDEN to build a high speed Filler/Crowner of 220 bottles per minute. HILDEN gladly accepted the challenge and the first machine was installed in MAY 1978 having 28 filling valves and 6 crowning heads.

After manufacturing seven such machines, a NEW Design having 30 filling valves and 8 crowning heads was introduced Model – CP-30/8. This model became a very successful machine operating at speeds of 250/300 bottles per minute and there are about fifty such machines operating in the country.
