KHS beverage packaging portfolio

KHS has a range of solutions for PET bottle sterilisation and filling.

The KHS InnoPET BloFill ACF-R aseptic block combines the InnoPET Blomax Series V stretch blow moulder with the rotary Innofill PET ACF-R filler. The rotary aseptic block has a capacity of up to 36,000 1 L bph, achieving a sterility of log 6 inside the bottles. Unlike preform sterilisation, this bottle sterilisation can also be combined with the KHS FreshSafe PET coating system, offering additional barrier protection for sensitive beverages. This process gives bottlers more flexibility and greater availability during format changeovers.

KHS also has the latest generation of Plasmax coating technology, where a wafer-thin layer of chemically pure glass is applied to the insides of PET bottles. This protects sensitive products such as fruit juice, wine, beer, soft drinks, ketchup, sauces and other liquid foods from oxidation and loss of CO₂, while retaining the recyclability of the bottle.

KHS’s range of digital services will move to the ConnectApp that provides two extra benefits, including data-based transparency regarding the key line performance indicators and help with decision-making processes and support with system operation.

The first KHS ConnectApp function is the Guide module, which has interactive work instructions and a notification management system, helping to ensure trouble-free workflows during inspection and maintenance or when training new employees. All work steps can be documented with the app.
