Smart solutions that save energy and resources: Dortmund-based KHS presents intelligent technologies for beverage filling at BrauBeviale in Nuremberg.
Representative of this is a New high-performance glass filler for up to 80,000 bottles per hour (image). The German system provider is thus paving the way for the beverage industry to a more efficient, more sustainable and increasingly more efficient production process. digitalised beverage production.
For the clear Reduction in energy and resource consumption This is exemplified by the new generation of glass fillers that the company is presenting to the public for the first time. The full-range supplier is thus consistently driving forward the continuous reduction of energy and resource consumption in the beverage industry. Among other things, the filler offers a unique ECO system and special evacuation and CO2-rinsing process for glass bottles. Compared to conventional methods, the system consumes so up to 50 per cent less CO2. Thanks to the optimised vacuum pump, KHS has also reduced energy consumption by up to 20 percent.
Production processes optimise
An important role is played by smart solutions that Significantly simplify production processes, optimise and automate. For example, a diagnostic assistance system monitors the entire filling process - for example with regard to evacuation and CO2rinsing processes to significantly minimise oxygen pick-up. Broken bottles are also recognised in all filling phases and the containers are automatically sorted out.
In the future, too, the main focus will be on significantly reducing CO2-footprints. Service plays a central role in consistently pursuing this goal. KHS makes it possible for its customers, operate systems for as long as possible and to keep them technically, economically and ecologically up to date. One example of this is the optimisation of bottle washing machines. This aims to gradually reduce water and energy consumption.
