Client Background
AndesFizz Beverages is an emerging soft-drink brand based in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, focused on affordable carbonated soft drinks (cola, lemon-lime and tropical flavors) in 500ml and 1.25L PET bottles. Serving local supermarkets, street kiosks and rural distributors, the brand needed to scale up from outsourced co-packing to its own in-house line to control cost, quality and delivery in a fast-growing regional market.
Project Challenges
- High-altitude operating environment (over 400m) affecting CO2 carbonation stability.
- Limited technical staff — the line had to be highly automated and easy to operate.
- Frequent flavor and bottle-size changeovers required flexible, quick-switch tooling.
- Unstable local power supply, demanding robust electrical protection and buffering.
Turnkey Solution
Our engineering team designed a complete turnkey carbonated soft drink production line covering the full process from water treatment to finished palletizing. The layout was optimized for a compact factory footprint and future capacity expansion.
Line Configuration
Results & Value
- Stable output of approximately 12,000 bottles per hour on the 500ml format.
- Consistent carbonation and Brix, reducing product returns and complaints.
- Line operated by a lean team thanks to high automation and centralized PLC control.
- Full-line commissioning, operator training and remote after-sales support delivered on schedule.
Why This Turnkey Approach Works
By taking single-source responsibility for process design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning and training, we removed the integration risk that new beverage producers in emerging markets often face. AndesFizz Beverages gained a reliable, expandable carbonated soft drink line ready to grow with regional demand.
Carbonation and Filling Technology
Consistent carbonation is the defining challenge of any soft drink line. This project uses an automatic CO2 mixer that precisely controls sugar syrup, treated water and carbonation levels before filling. Chilling the product and maintaining counter-pressure during isobaric filling prevents foaming and guarantees stable gas volumes in every bottle.
The 3-in-1 rinsing-filling-capping monobloc keeps the process hygienic and high-speed, while inline date coding and labeling finish a retail-ready product. The system is built for both cola-type and flavored carbonated drinks, giving the producer a broad portfolio from one line.
Built for a Growing Regional Brand
In fast-growing Latin American markets, local producers succeed by combining competitive pricing with reliable quality. The line’s automation reduces labor and product loss, while format flexibility lets the brand scale into new sizes as demand grows.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it produce different flavors? Yes — the syrup and mixing system supports multiple flavors with straightforward changeover and cleaning.
How is carbonation kept consistent? Automatic CO2 mixing plus chilled isobaric filling hold gas volumes stable across the whole run.
