Beer has been foaming in the kettles of K\u00f6nigsegger WalderBr\u00e4u AG since 1822. With the 200th anniversary of the brewery and after Corona, things are clearly on the up again economically. The company invested in a new bottle inspection machine from Nagel Automationstechnik to guarantee the high quality of its beers and soft drinks in the bottle.<\/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

\u201eOur old inspector was 50 years old and we had to replace it. For speed, accuracy and today's requirements for detecting scuffing, embossing and the smallest thread defects, we needed a modern inspection machine.\u201c<\/p>

Manufacturers of inspection technology were quickly queuing up to sell a machine to the Upper Swabian brewery from the district of Ravensburg. \u201eWe made it clear to each of them that the The only way into the bottling plant is via a narrow, steep staircase to the first floor<\/strong>\u201c, reports Baumeister. Many immediately waved goodbye, others said that transport was only possible via the roof or by removing side windows.<\/p>

\u201eThe only person who assured us that he would not only deliver the machine with all our technical specifications, but also adapt it so that it would fit through the 93 centimetre wide doors and we could transport it up a steep staircase, was Joachim Nagel from the Nagel Automation Technology<\/a> from Kaufungen.\u201c Baumeister and his colleagues decided in favour of the nail inspector and are now completely satisfied with this decision. \u201eThe The machine is logical and very easy to operate.

The brewery has had a chequered history. The successful idea in 2003 was to turn the former \u201eH\u00e4rle Brewery\u201c into a public limited company. 2,500 shares of 500 euros each were issued, which today are distributed among 1,600 shareholders. The company produces with 18 employees around 8,500 hectolitres of beer per year<\/strong>Several beers from the range have been awarded DLG gold. In addition, 8,000 hectolitres of non-alcoholic beverages are produced annually: the main brand is Cola-Mix. Bottling takes place in K\u00f6nigsegg brown 0.5-litre NRW, white 0.5-litre screw-top and green 0.33-litre long-neck bottles<\/strong>. The sales area extends from Lake Constance to Stuttgart and Reutlingen. Around a fifth of the beer is filled into barrels.<\/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

For 28 years, Nagel Automationstechnik has specialised in Empty bottle inspection machines in beverage and dairy plants<\/strong> specialised. The machines for small and medium-sized businesses are all hygienically designed. WalderBr\u00e4u has opted for a Full inspection machine with base, neck finish, double side wall inspection, thread and embossing inspection as well as HF eye inspection<\/strong> decided. The machine's output is designed for 8,000 bottles per hour. On average, 6,500 bottles are filled per hour, so there is sufficient technical leeway. Nagel is known for placing his machine on a footprint of around one square metre, \u201eand it's also very compact. designed as a corner machine, so it fitted perfectly into our bottle cellar<\/strong>\u201c, says Baumeister. Defective bottles are even sorted out within the small footprint by means of rejection flaps and a pusher, which means that the bottles can be Sorting with upright bottles<\/strong> is realised. This system is very suitable for small and medium-sized filling systems. Elaborate belts or belt controls are not required.<\/p>
