Bottling lines for PET bottles: Flexible, efficient, future-proof
PET is one of the most important packaging solutions for the beverage and food industries. Lightweight, shatter-proof and recyclable, the material offers ideal conditions for cost-effective and sustainable production. At the same time, the use of lightweight containers, increasing proportions of rPET in preforms and high line outputs require precisely tailored filling technology that combines efficiency, product safety and flexibility.
What matters most in PET filling:
- Reliable processing of lightweight and rPET bottles
- The highest standards of hygiene and quality
- High efficiency and line availability
- Resource-efficient use of materials, energy and media
- Flexible adaptation to different container designs
- Future-proof solutions for sustainable packaging concepts
Turnkey solutions for PET filling
The success of a PET production line depends on many individual machines – and their seamless interaction with one another. With its comprehensive portfolio and decades of experience, Krones develops customised turnkey solutions for PET bottling – efficient, sustainable and precisely tailored to the requirements of the respective end products. The following example of a line for carbonated soft drinks illustrates how this holistic approach works in practice.
Representative one-way line for carbonated soft drinks
LineXpress is a programme that enables non-returnable-PET lines for water or carbonated soft drinks to be changed over in record time: a brief interruption – and your line is ready for action again.
With the Hydronomic water treatment systems, Krones provides an individual programme for careful treatment of your untreated water.
Reliable transport of empty and loaded pallets
The robots of the ModulpalPro series provide many options for loading and unloading pallets. You can individually combine each of the modules to suit your requirements.
The Robobox T-GS opens up new opportunities in the Krones dry end: because the grouping system uses a tripod robot with innovative parallel kinematics.
Transporting plastic crates, cartons or shrinkpacks in the packaging line
The fully-automatic Variopac Pro packer easily adapts to all packaging trends. Packaging with pads, in trays, or wrap-around cartons, if with, without or exclusively in a shrink-wrapped film, the different models of the Variopac Pro cover a wide range of packaging variations.
Being an individually customised conveyor, the SynCo container conveyor contributes to a trouble-free production at a large degree.
Do you only have little space available? But you still want to run the full program for the fill level and cap inspection? Then the Checkmat Compact is the perfect choice for you.
ErgoBloc L with integrated mixer
The wet section block has an output of up to 100,000 containers/h and requires 70 percent less space than conventional lines.
