Serac offers various rinsing and decontamination treatments for containers, caps, and foil seals. Customers can choose from dry, liquid, or gas treatments that best meet their decontamination needs.

Customers seeking chemical-free decontamination can opt for demoiler solution for HDPE bottles or ozonated water. Additionally, Serac focuses on innovation and sustainability, providing environmentally-friendly options like Pulsed Light and UV treatments.
