GEA is launching the Visitron Small-in-One filling block for production speeds of up to 10,000 containers per hour. The solution rinses, fills and closes in a very small space and can quickly switch between glass, aluminium and PET containers.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The new system is a cost-effective alternative to standard systems. It was modelled on the successful GEA Visitron All-in-One monoblock. \u201eThe market has clearly shown us that Multifunctionality also needed for compact filling machines<\/strong> becomes. Young, growing companies in particular want a versatile, efficient and fully automated solution that they can afford,\u201c explains Andreja Markoja, Head of Sales and Offer Management at GEA VIPOLL. This is the case for craft brewers and co-packers - wherever small batches are produced and quick changeovers are necessary at the same time.<\/strong> are.<\/p>

\u201eWhen scaling our larger monoblock to the smaller scale, we have therefore eliminated complexity, but not flexibility. For example, customers of the Small-in-One need fewer champagne corks or 1-litre cans than a durable, easy-to-operate machine with low consumption.\u201c<\/p>

For the Small-in-One GEA<\/a> streamlined the filling process so that it requires less water and less carbon dioxide when filling cans, while at the same time ensuring low oxygen pick-up.<\/p>

\u201eThe Small-in-One is a new addition to our GEA Visitron family, which illustrates the focus of our filling technology: We build for customers who value multifunctional filling with a long service life and easy servicing of the systems.\u201c<\/p>

Jens Neidhardt<\/strong>, Managing Director of the Slovenian GEA subsidiary<\/p><\/blockquote>

In these specialised markets, clear purchasing and operating costs are very important. This is why GEA's compact systems also raise the bar when it comes to sustainability: they have a small material footprint and focus on a low CO2<\/sub>-Use and water efficiency<\/strong>. In the GEA Visitron Small-in-One, the process water is recirculated. It recirculates during sterile rinsing in the machine, external bottle rinsing after capping and when cooling the vacuum pumps.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

The company is also responding to the needs of the market in terms of our production times, where investment cycles are becoming increasingly shorter. A Small-in-One can be at the customer's premises in six months and ready for operation in a fortnight. This is advantageous for smaller bottlers as well as for producers with high filling volumes. There the Compact block for small batches for product development and speciality products<\/strong>, while the large lines continue to run undisturbed. The low-maintenance, intuitive operation also helps to amortise the investment quickly. The Small-in-One also utilises reliable, mechanical drives instead of servomotors<\/strong> - an economical solution that makes the bottler independent of the spare parts markets with difficult delivery conditions.<\/p>
