Agrocaribe’s field workers receive daily electrolytic drinks to stay hydrated. With the desire to provide better hydration and concerned for their welfare, Agrocaribe installed a modern AR1000 liquid packing machine.


“That the electrolytic beverage is prepared according to the regulations of the World Health Organization, to prevent worker’s dehydration”.

“The production of these drinks is more hygienic, because the liquid is no longer manipulated. Besides the machine disinfects the bags with ultraviolet light and they are heat sealed, thus avoiding the contamination of the sera”.

This new equipment allows preparing beverages for all field workers in two hours, when it previously took them one full day with a manual machine.

“Before it was harder, there was a lot of content and bag waste and people were always running to get the sera ready for the workers in two hours we get 2050,600 milliliters drinks and we even clean the machine”.
