Glass filler for beer and CSDs at BrauBeviale

Krones provides lines and solutions to small craft breweries, mid-tier filling plants and large beverage conglomerates. Next month at BrauBeviale 2019 in Germany, the company will be showcasing its newly developed glass filler for beer and carbonated soft drink (CSDs).

The Craftmate G glass filler for beer and CSDs can handle up to 24,000 bottles per hour and can be combined with up to two closers for crowns, screw caps or aluminium roll-on closures. The device resembles the fillers from Krones’ Modulfill series, operating with the HRS system featuring a vent tube, to provide accurate fill levels.

In order to keep the filler as compact and simple as possible, however, there are also differences from the Modulfill series. For example, necessary gush-type jetting systems have been integrated, though exterior cleaning is performed manually.

Syskron, Krones’ subsidiary and specialist for digitalisation, will be showcasing the design enhancement of Share2Act. A platform with multiclient capability, the product mutually links all machines in the production operation, but also performs the classic functionalities of MES systems, uniting them on a single user interface.

Krones will be displaying its products in Hall 7A, Stand 510 at BrauBeviale from 12–14 November 2019 in Nuremberg.
