Bottling Plants

Where our positioning systems are used: Format changeover on empty bottling plants at KRONES AG.

When it comes to format changeover in bottling plants, it is not only the optimum functionality and availability of the mechatronic drives that are important. The containers are as individual as the beverages they contain. Not only do the different sizes and shapes bring their own special requirements — the materials can also significantly change the handling in the machine.

Machines for inspecting empty bottles, such as the Linatronic 735 made by the bottling specialist Krones AG, monitor washed reusable bottles for dirt and damage. A reliable standard of bottle washing quality within the bottling plant translates directly into greater safety for the consumer. This machine is designed so that changeover downtime is no longer significant and changeover precision does not vary. The plant can afford more frequent changeovers and support a more flexible operation.

For the operating manager, a hygienic design that can be adjusted automatically at the touch of a button to different bottle types equates to reproducibility and efficiency. PSE Positioning systems let you configure your system exactly to your needs.
