Between 2 men we could fill and cap 12 bottles per minute. 3000 bottles per day was our limit, to preserve morale and sanity...</h2> <p>Now we are very fortunate to have an automated bottling line, bought with help from the local <a href="http://www.fieldfareleader.org.uk/" target="_blank">LEADER funding project</a>. This was last used to fill milk for the local schools in South Wales until the summer of 2009. We have just finished installing the machine at our bottling site, and will dedicate its use to bottling our range of fruit juices, but most specifically for the <a href="http://www.southampton.gov.uk/learning/schoolmeals/" target="blank">Hampshire Schools Juice project</a>. The machinery can fill over 100 bottles per minute, so we ve no time to get bored during bottling now!</p> <p>We currently fill 189ml (1/3 of a pint) HDPE bottles (sold in packs of 24), and 1-litre HDPE bottles (sold in packs of 12). We can also produce 2 litre bottles, plus 5L, 10L and 20L "bag in box". These are great for kitchens and restaurants as, even once opened, can stay fresh for upto 3 months! As we attend many of the <a href="http://www.hampshirefarmersmarkets.co.uk/" target="_blank">Hampshire Farmers Markets</a> every weekend, you can come and taste the juice there, and buy bottles individually. We also use 275ml glass bottles for sale into pubs and restaurants. Both HDPE and Glass bottles are 100% recyclable.</p> <p>Once the juice has been filled and sealed for freshness, it is pasteurised in our brand new, specially designed pasteuriser. This is like a large bath that the bottles sit in until all the natural yeast in the juice has been killed off  this stops the juice fermenting, and gives it a long shelf life (6 months in the HDPE bottles, 12 months in glass bottles).</p> <p>Finally we store it for a couple of weeks to ensure it is of a top quality, before being collected and distributed to the schools run by <a href="http://www.hants.gov.uk/" target="_blank">Hampshire County Council</a> and <a href="http://www.southampton.gov.uk/" target="_blank">Southampton City Council</a>. The distribution is all through <a href="http://www.3663.co.uk/" target="_blank">3663</a>, who together with <a href="http://www3.hants.gov.uk/caterers.htm" target="_blank">HC3S</a>, have been pivotal in the smooth running of this scheme.</p> </div> </div> <div class="mainContentRight"> <div class="picblock"> <div class="picsplit"><img border="0" src="images/bottlingImg1.jpg" alt=""/></div> <div class="picsplit right"><img border="0" src="images/bottlingImg2.jpg" alt=""/></div> </div> <div class="picblock"> <div class="picsplit"><img border="0" src="images/bottlingImg3.jpg" alt=""/></div> <div class="picsplit right"><img border="0" src="images/bottlingImg4.jpg" alt=""/></div> </div> <div class="picblock"> <div class="picsplit"><img border="0" src="images/bottlingImg5.jpg" alt=""/></div> <div class="picsplit right"><img border="0" src="images/bottlingImg6.jpg" alt=""/></div> </div> <div class="picblock"> <div class="picsplit"><img border="0" src="images/bottlingImg7.jpg" alt=""/></div> <div class="picsplit right"><img border="0" src="images/bottlingImg8.jpg" alt=""/></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="footer"> <b class="rtop"><b class="r1"></b><b class="r2"></b><b class="r3"></b><b class="r4"></b></b> <h2>For more information or to place an order call us on <span>01420 511733</span> or email <a href="mailto:juice@mr-whiteheads-drinks.co.uk">juice@mr-whiteheads-drinks.co.uk</a></h2> <p><a href="#">Mr Whitehead s</a>, <a href="#">Mr Whitehead</a>, <a href="#">Apple Juice</a>, <a href="#">apple juice drink</a>, <a href="#">fresh apple juice</a>, <a href="#">buy apple juice</a>, <a href="#">apple juice manufacturers</a>, <a href="#">apple fruit juice</a>, <a href="#">bulk apple juice</a>, <a href="#">juice drinks</a>, <a href="#">Pear Juice</a>, <a href="#">Orange juice</a>, <a href="#">Carrot juice Hampshire Apple Juice</a>, <a href="#">Fruit juice range</a>, <a href="#">Orchards Apple Orchard</a>, <a href="#">Blackmoor farm</a>, <a href="#">Selborne</a>, <a href="#">Local produce</a>, <a href="#">Leckford Estate</a>, <a href="#">Freshly picked fruit</a>, <a href="#">apple juice</a>, <a href="#">Cox</a>, <a href="#">Royal Gala</a>, <a href="#">Bramley</a>, <a href="#">Russet</a>, <a href="#">Discovery</a>, <a href="#">Braeburn</a>, <a href="#">Worcester Pearmain</a>, <a href="#">Spartann</a>, <a href="#">no added sugar</a>, <a href="#">no added chemicals</a>, <a href="#">no added flavours</a>, <a href="#">no added preservative</a>, <a href="#">Squeezebox press</a>, <a href="#">bottling</a>, <a href="#">bottling machine</a>, <a href="#">Bottling and packaging</a>, <a href="#">LEADER funding project</a>, <a href="#">Hampshire Schools Juice project</a>,</p> <p>Hampshire Farmers Markets, Hampshire County Council, Southampton City Council, 3663, HC3, HC3S, 3663, SEEDA, HFM, hampshire fare.</p> <p>Copyright Mr Whiteheads Drinks 2009 All rights reserved.</p> <b class="rbottom"><b class="r4"></b><b class="r3"></b><b class="r2"></b><b class="r1"></b></b> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
