On March 30, Genki Forest’s second “Creation Camp 2044” kicked off at the Xianning factory, where 19 selections of new beverage products spanning multiple scenarios and categories made their debut. On the same day, the Genki Forest Xianning Innovation Institute, with a total investment of 200 million yuan, was officially unveiled. This “flexible pilot plant,” the first of its kind in China, will serve as the core engine supporting Genki Forest’s rapid iteration and precise validation. As a long-term strategic partner of Genki Forest, Zhongya played a key role in the construction of the Xianning Innovation Institute, providing robust technical support for beverage innovation through domestically produced high-end aseptic filling equipment. This initiative witnesses and drives the Chinese beverage industry’s transformative leap from “mass production” to “agile innovation.”   For a long time, the beverage industry has faced a seemingly intractable “critical dilemma”: to incorporate plump fruit pieces ≥5mm in size into beverages while maintaining a satisfying chewiness, traditional hot filling or standard aseptic lines often result in crushed fruit pieces and compromised texture; conversely, achieving a shelf life of over six months without preservatives poses an extreme challenge to sterilization processes. As a result, most fruit-piece beverages on the market are limited to being either a “suspension of finely crushed fruit pulp” or rely on preservatives.   Zhongya’s 8x8 Fruit-Piece Aseptic Filling Solution provides the core equipment support necessary to achieve this goal. This technology resolves the aforementioned contradictions through two key systems: “dual-aseptic secondary-filling” and “crush-resistant, low-shear conveying.” By adopting a “divide and conquer” approach to aseptic processing, the fruit pieces and juice base are precisely processed in separate, independent aseptic environments. For the fruit pieces, a special scraper sterilization technique is employed, which ensures microbial safety while significantly reducing the “cooking” damage caused by high temperatures. This means that on the “flexible pilot production line” at the Xianning Innovation Institute, R&D engineers can boldly experiment with any formula or concept involving “large fruit pieces.” Whether it’s 8x8mm whole coconut chunks or large yellow peach cubes, they can be stably and uniformly filled into bottles without breaking, sacrificing texture, or compromising shelf life. This directly transforms the five key value propositions—“real fruit pieces, large chunks, zero preservatives, long shelf life, and a satisfying chew”—from a “single-choice” option into a “multiple-choice” experience, redefining the standards for premium fruit-piece beverages.   In the future, as domestic aseptic filling technology continues to evolve and product categories expand, China’s beverage industry will transition from simply “drinking beverages” to a new era of quality where consumers “enjoy fruit pieces and savor the texture.” The launch of Genki Forest’s Xianning Innovation Institute marks the entry of China’s beverage industry into the “era of agile innovation.” Every collaboration between Zhongya and Genki Forest represents a step forward in China’s beverage “quality manufacturing” capabilities. Domestic equipment is no longer merely a “substitute” but an “innovation partner”—we have proven through technology that China’s intelligent manufacturing is fully capable of supporting the innovative dreams of world-class brands.   Zhongya empowers every drop of innovation with the power of equipment.
