Lower utilities
Targeted reduction in electrical demand, vacuum demand, CO2 use and cleaning burden.
BETHA · Adaptable beverage filling platform
BETHA: a filling platform with an isobaric pilot and a wider application path.
BETHA has a working prototype and an initial industrial validation path for carbonated beverages. Its architecture may also be adapted for still water in PET bottles, cans, jars, viscous liquids and hot-filled products. Each product, container and filling condition needs its own configuration and validation.
Working prototype demonstrated the filling concept. Environmental and line-level gains remain targets for measured industrial validation.

These clips illustrate individual Alpha trials; industrial performance, repeatability and resource savings remain subjects for measured pilot validation. Filling mechanism details and the complete pre-evacuation sequence are reserved for qualified discussions under NDA.
Discuss a pilot and further technical evidence →The solution
A configurable filling architecture from container preparation to final level control.
BETHA's first industrial pilot focuses on isobaric filling. The broader platform concept is designed to adapt filling and level control to different products and containers. It aims to improve product handling while simplifying equipment and utilities around the filling module.
The working prototype has demonstrated the core approach on real containers at TRL 4–5. The next step is an industrial module that can generate comparable data on speed, gas use where applicable, product quality, cleaning, energy use and operating reliability.
What it improves
Designed around measurable line impact.
Faster filling
Prototype tests indicate potential to reduce pure filling time; throughput at industrial scale remains to be measured.
Cleaner architecture
The architecture aims to reduce components and cleaning complexity; industrial gains are pilot targets.
Broader application path
Potential paths include PET bottles, cans and jars, as well as viscous and hot-filled products. Each combination requires separate technical validation.
Sustainability fit
Measure resource use and product quality for each filling application.
Climate and energy
Compare measured electrical and auxiliary energy per filled container with the baseline.
Gas use and product stability
In the isobaric pilot, measure CO2 use per filled container alongside oxygen pickup, total package oxygen and product quality. Other products require relevant process-specific measures.
Water and cleaning
Measure cleaning time and water and chemical use under a defined sanitation protocol.
Manufacturing efficiency
Test cycle time, repeatability, reliability and practical scale-up requirements.
Pilot proposal
Industrial beverage filling pilot with a baseline and decision metrics.
We seek an industrial partner to build and validate a BETHA module for one agreed product and container format. Pilot design will define the conventional comparator, measurement methods and acceptance criteria before testing. Scale-up follows only after repeatable results.
Suggested pilot scope
- Industrial prototype design and build
- Test one product and container format under defined operating conditions
- For the isobaric pilot, measure filling time, CO2 per container, oxygen pickup/TPO, energy, product loss and CIP water
- Compare repeatable results with a conventional baseline using the same product and format
- Define scale-up path, economics and IP collaboration under NDA
Company
Industrial experience from the beverage filling floor.
Innovation & Bottling Solutions srls is an Italian company created to develop practical innovation for beverage filling. The founding team combines mechanical field experience, automation capability and direct exposure to installation, commissioning and training on industrial bottling lines.
Betha was born from hands-on work with filling systems and from the observation that sustainability gains in beverage production often require a different architecture, not only incremental component optimization.
