Positive Response: compact filler investment pays off for health drinks innovator

Health drinks

HEALTH drinks manufacturer Jinger Drinks has reportedly increased production and improved efficiency with the help of Adelphi’s Response Benchtop Filler.

Since installing the compact filler last September, the Manchester-based firm has been able to fill containers from 4ml to 1l at a speed of up to 40 containers per minute. Previously, three employees were needed to fill, cap, tighten and label the bottles by hand, with these staff members now redeployed elsewhere in the business.

Founded in 2022, family-run Jinger Drinks was born when its CEO, Alya, began researching natural ways to help with joint pain and arthritis. After developing a range of pressed organic ginger wellness recipes, Alya began selling the drinks at local markets, where demand grew quickly. With the company doubling in size each year, the success of the wellness tonics soon led Alya’s son, Nial, to join the business as director, followed by his brothers, helping transform what began in a family kitchen into a nationwide wellness brand.

Jinger Drinks produces a range of tonics designed to support immune health, joint pain, arthritis and inflammation, alongside acid reflux, indigestion and heartburn.

As demand increased, the business required a faster, more efficient filling solution to support production growth without compromising on quality or increasing waste.

“The Response saves us both time and money and has had a massive positive impact on the business,” Nial said. “It is reliable, we only need one person to operate it, and it improves consistency since it fills the same amount each time, so there is no waste.”

Adelphi Response Benchtop Filler

The Adelphi Response Benchtop Filler is suitable for liquids, oils, gels, creams, pastes and products containing particulates. The system can fill bottles, jars, tubes, vials, pots and similar containers.

There are four standard interchangeable pump sets, allowing filling across different volumes, to suit different container sizes and product types, while an electropolished finish is designed to improve hygiene and cleanability.

A range of interchangeable nozzles are also available to accommodate different product viscosities and container dimensions. These options include swage tip nozzles, cut-off nozzles with tip sealing and full-bore cut-off nozzles in multiple sizes.

There are also flexible product feed options where liquid products can be drawn directly from bulk containers via a suction hose and non-return valve. Meanwhile, thicker products, creams and pastes can be fed through a hopper system, with multiple hopper sizes available to suit production requirements.
