At BrauBeviale, KHS will be showcasing developments in filling technology for the can and glass container segments, even under the difficult conditions of the coronavirus crisis. The company will also be presenting its portfolio of digital services, which are designed to provide users with advantages, particularly during the current contact and travel restrictions.
Especially in challenging times such as the current coronavirus pandemic, maintaining personal relationships with business partners is of immeasurable importance.
„We remain committed to being a reliable partner at our customers“ side. Our participation this year underpins this understanding all the more." Dr Johannes T. Grobe, Managing Director Sales and Service of the KHS Group
The exhibition of filling technology exhibits has been deliberately omitted. „This allows us to comply with the current hygiene and social distancing rules and effectively protect our customers, business partners and employees,“ says Grobe, explaining this decision.
Optimisations in the area of filling technology
With its further developments in the beverage can sector, KHS is responding to the growing market demand in the container segment. Thus With the Innofill Can DVD, drinks can now also be filled hot. Another important update is the new pneumatic lowering device for the centring tulips, which further improves the hygiene standard of the can filler. The little brother Innofill Can C, on the other hand, has been optimised in terms of its production output. Instead of 5,000 to 15,000 cans per hour, the machine can now fill up to 50,000 containers.
KHS is also expanding its portfolio for the filling of sensitive beverages such as beer and juice with a new long-tube filler. The platform solution is particularly impressive due to its high flexibility and modular design.
Digital solutions prevent production downtime
When contact and travel restrictions make it extremely difficult to maintain and repair machines, creative solutions are needed. „With our extensive digital service portfolio, we show which efficient measures contribute to this, Minimise downtimes and prevent production stoppages“ says Grobe. Thanks to the proven Remote Diagnostic Service ReDiS and the Augmented Reality Service, KHS also reliably supports its customers remotely in rectifying faults directly and quickly - independently of a KHS service employee on site.
Just as smart is the Digital monitoring of entire lines thanks to web-based Basic Line Monitoring, which assesses the efficiency of the line and identifies any faults. The Dortmund-based full-service provider also aims to be a reliable partner with its 24/7 Service HelpDesk. The service is available around the clock for spare parts enquiries and the processing of technical problems.
The KHS Group will be exhibiting from 10 to 12 November in Hall 7A at the BrauBeviale in Nuremberg.
