To ensure the highest standards of safety, quality and hygiene, an automatic CIP (Cleaning In Place) process takes place each time before and after the manufacturing process of Fitness Authority® shots. The station has 3 tanks - for alkaline cleaning, acid cleaning and rinsing.
According to the formula of a particular product, all ingredients are precisely weighed and mixed. The base is then subjected to filtration and pasteurisation processes. This ensures that the liquid has the right clarity, is safe and remains fit for consumption for an extended time period. Simultaneously, the packaging is prepared.
The dietary supplements are bottled on the KHS InnoPET BloFill bottling machine, which allows as many as 80 containers to be filled simultaneously. The filled bottles are sealed on a capper coupled to a bottling machine and then go to an inspector where they are verified in terms of: capacity, cap and bottle colour, and whether the cap and seal have been properly screwed on.
Obligatory during and after production, the samples taken are subjected to physicochemical, microbiological and sensory analysis. Among other things, the following are inspected: product weight, volume, brix, ph, temperature, acidity, saturation of the product with carbon dioxide or nitrogen, osmotic pressure and, in addition, microbiological tests. Only shots that receive a positive result from the tests conducted are qualified for sale.
The filled bottles undergo shrink sleeve application. The use of this type of label allows it to match it to the distinctive features of the packaging. Thanks to hot steam shrinking, we are guaranteed a high level of precision and an even label placement, which results in a more durable and aesthetically pleasing product. After leaving the steam tunnel, each shot goes under the print head, which marks the caps with the batch number and date. The finished products are packed in cartons and heat-sealed. They are then stacked on a pallet, protected with foil and labelled. If you want to learn about the entire production process of our shots watch the video.
