Manfred KaiserJin Mai Lang has done it again: After a Corona-driven pause in investment, the highly successful Chinese food and beverage company has now once again placed an order with Krones – for three complete high-speed PET container filling lines.These are to be installed at three different plants.
| Project: | Three filling lines for bottling water |
| Customer: | Jin Mai Lang |
| Locations: | Heyuan, (Guangdong province), and Suiping, (Henan province), and Qijing (Yunnan province), China |
| Commissioning: | 1. quarter 2022 |
Scope:
Two turnkey filling lines in hygienic design, each rated at 72,000 PET containers per hour
- For filling boiled water
- At the plants in Heyuan and Suiping,
For the first time Jin Mai Lang will implement the compact cleanroom concept. The advantages of the compact design compared with the larger Contipure cleanroom that is actually used in the Contipure preform sterilization system, are reduced consumption of hydrogen peroxide and water and a higher output of 72,000 containers per hour (versus the previous 63,000 containers per hour).
One turnkey PET line rated at 90,000 containers per hour
- For bottling still water
- At the plant in Qujing
Krones' requirement was to manufacture this line completely at the Chinese plant in Taicang for the first time.
Special features:
17 lines in all in just three years’ time
Previously, Jin Mai Lang had been hot-filling boiled water – a popular beverage in China – at 85 degrees Celsius. After a successful test run using a Contipure Bloc D for filling the product at ambient temperature, Jin Mai Lang switched over to this less energy-hungry process.
