What Doselec does

Serac Group, doing business as Serac, is a French-headquartered industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1972 that designs and produces filling, capping, dosing, sealing, and complete packaging lines for liquid and viscous products. Its core technology stack centers on proprietary Extra Shelf Life (ESL) and aseptic processing capabilities for sensitive and ultra-sensitive products, alongside precision filling systems — including a differentiated dual-flavor synchronized configuration that runs two machines in parallel at 400 bottles per minute each for a combined 800 bottles per minute output. The product portfolio is organized both by industry sector (dairy, beverages, oils and sauces, household products, personal care, auto care, paints and solvents, and phytosanitary products) and by line function (packaging fabrication, filling and capping, dosing and sealing, multi-function blocks, and full line integration), supported by an aftermarket service stack covering equipment adaptation, preventive and corrective maintenance, production optimization, training, spare parts, and technical support.

Products and services

• Filling and Capping Machines (Remplissage et Bouchage) Precision filling and capping machines that dispense accurate volumes of product and apply secure closures. Designed for industrial manufacturers across dairy, beverage, oils, household, personal care, and chemical product sectors.
• Dosing and Sealing Machines (Dosage et Operculage) Machines that perform precise dosing of product and apply heat-sealed closures (opercules) across various container types. Targeted at industrial manufacturers needing exact dosing with hermetic sealing.
• Multi-Function Blocks (Blocs Multifonctions) Integrated equipment units that combine multiple packaging operations (e.g., filling, capping, sealing) into a single system, reducing footprint and changeover time for industrial production lines.
• Packaging Fabrication (Fabrication d'Emballages) Manufacturing of packaging materials and containers integrated into the filling line, enabling Serac to deliver complete packaging solutions beyond just filling equipment.
• Line Integration (Intégration de Ligne) Complete production line engineering and integration for turnkey packaging solutions, combining Serac's individual machines and functions into a fully operational line.
• Turnkey Line Engineering End-to-end design and engineering of complete packaging lines from concept through implementation, delivered as a contracted turnkey project.
• Equipment Adaptation and Improvement Services Customization and enhancement services that adapt or modify existing Serac equipment to meet specific production requirements or evolving customer needs.
• Machine Maintenance Services Preventive and corrective maintenance services for Serac filling and packaging machines, ensuring reliable equipment uptime and performance.
• Production Optimization Services Services designed to optimize the performance and efficiency of customers' production equipment, improving throughput and reducing waste.
• Training Services (Formations) Professional training programs teaching customer personnel how to operate and maintain Serac packaging equipment safely and effectively.
• Spare Parts Supply (Pièces Détachées) Supply of genuine Serac spare parts for maintenance and repairs of installed equipment, supporting long-term equipment reliability.
• Technical Support Services (Assistance Technique) Technical assistance and support services for troubleshooting and resolving operational issues with Serac equipment.
• Dual-Flavor Drinking Yogurt Filling Line Specialized solution for dairy manufacturers: two synchronized filling machines operating at 400 bottles per minute each, for a combined throughput of 800 bottles per minute with two different flavors. Designed for high-volume drinking yogurt production.

Quantifiable outcome

• Dual-flavor line achieves 800 bottles per minute (2 synchronized machines at 400 bottles/min each)
