GoodWest Has Success In Dairy Applications With Scholle Bag-In-Box

Situation

GoodWest Industries® started as a small dairy in Pennsylvania, USA and has grown into a multi-national company specializing in shelf-stable dairy products, iced coffee, liquid sugar, iced tea and nacho cheese. GoodWest, a vertically-integrated company, produces its own line of dispensing equipment available to college cafeterias, quick-serve restaurants, gas stations and coffee shops.  

With continued growth over a 15-year period using Scholle bag-in-box packaging, GoodWest was ready to take the next step in production and market penetration and needed a reliable, high-speed low-acid filler to meet customer demand.

Strategy

Through a series of in-depth planning sessions and development phases, Scholle and GoodWest were able to define a strict set of criteria for a successful low-acid bag-in-box filler. High throughput, sterilization and aseptic filling ability were a priority for the project in order to meet GoodWest’s production and quality needs.

Results

The Scholle SureFill® 30 Low-Acid filler has since increased GoodWest’s production capabilities by nearly 70%. Integrated fault management and tracking features allow GoodWest production staff to quickly respond to any issues; maximizing line time. The filler is versatile and allows for filling through different spouts and can work with several Scholle fitments, allowing for future product and market expansion.
