The Coca-Cola plant in Moscow: production, products, address

The Coca-Cola plant in Moscow is the first enterprise-botler of the famous American company in the Russian Federation and one of the largest on the European continent. The production capacity allows bottling hundreds of types of soft drinks.

Description

In the Soviet Union, Coca-Cola first began its activities in 1980. The famous drink of this company became official at the Moscow Olympics. With the fall of the Iron Curtain in the perestroika years, the representative office of the company was opened in the capital (1991).

The popularity of the products was so obvious that Coca-Cola decided to build in Moscow a major center for bottled carbonated beverages. The opening of the enterprise in 1994 opened a new milestone for the company due to a huge new sales market that covered not only the geographical territory of the Russian Federation, but also neighboring partner countries. Address of the Coca-Cola plant in Moscow: 119633, 7, Novoorlovskaya Street.

Production

Now in Russia, Coca Cola Hellenic produces and sells more than 400 types of beverages in various packs. Product range:

• Carbonated and non-carbonated beverages;
• kvass;
• Juice products.

By the way, juice production is established not long ago after the purchase of the brand "My Family". The assortment policy in the juice product segment implies the production of natural and fortified juice: "Dobry", Rich, "Yasli-Sad" (for children from 3 months), Nico BioTime, "My family" and others.

Production

The production capacity of the Coca-Cola plant in Moscow is designed for bottling beverages. Concentrate, the formula of which is stored with seven seals, is not made in Russia (in the world it is produced by only 5 enterprises).

The process begins in a water treatment plant where ordinary tap water passes through a multi-level filter system. Quality at the output is controlled by automatic machines.

In the blowing unit, small pre-pressurized flasks under pressure reaching 40 atmospheres and at a temperature of 240 ° C are converted into finished plastic bottles of a predetermined volume. And with the same preforms can blow out both a two-liter, and a half-liter plastic container.

The main action takes place in a sterile blending department. Here, prepared water, concentrate and syrup are mixed in predetermined proportions. 1 liter of concentrate is sufficient to produce more than 6 liters of finished beverage. Here there is a saturation with carbon dioxide.

Then the "endless string" of bottles arrives at the bottling line, labeling and packaging. Tara with drinks is sent to a huge warehouse, where the products from the Coca-Cola plant in Moscow are distributed in all Russian regions.

At first glance, the production seems uncomplicated. Meanwhile, the enterprise has introduced the most advanced (as far as possible) management, control, and information processing systems. The production line maintains perfect purity. Every day, the sites, according to the schedule, are sanitized.

Special sensors detect microdefects, nodules, burrs on bottles, the marriage is eliminated. Also, the system controls the purity of both the containers and beverages. In the shops the advanced video monitoring system is implemented. Intelligent technology with IP cameras not only captures what is happening, but also recognizes the faces of specific employees, determines by the movements of personnel what operation they are conducting and whether it is being correctly implemented.

Social politics

Coca-Cola is a constant participant in social and environmental projects. Significant funds are sent to charity projects, competitions, entertainment and cognitive events are regularly held.

A fascinating pastime are excursions to the Coca-Cola plant in Moscow. Visitors (more often schoolchildren) can see with their own eyes the fascinating process of converting concentrates into favorite drinks. Their tasting will be a pleasant addition.

Modernization

Coca Cola Hellenic is closely monitoring the health of the people. The Moscow plant has supplemented the production system of water treatment with a hydro-optical type disinfector. The new 99.99% line cleans the prepared water from microbiological contamination. In addition, the equipment allowed the plant to significantly reduce the resources and time spent on the regeneration of coal filters. The hydro-optical principle of decontamination has obvious advantages over alternative technologies of water treatment in food industry.

The new technology used at the Moscow plant Coca-Cola, has distinctive features. The system is equipped with special high-intensity sources of ultraviolet radiation. They are placed behind a thick quartz glass outside the water tank (reactor). Thanks to this convenient arrangement, the water near the glass walls is heated less, resulting in less scale, the inspection windows are less polluted.

The electronic filling of the decontamination unit is taken out of the water channel and mounted by a separate unit. This makes it easy to replace spent sources of UV radiation.
