At the core of the line is the Krones Contiform stretch blow molding system (S16), equipped with an automatic preform feeder and an integrated chiller. This system ensures precise and consistent bottle forming, maintaining high-quality standards throughout the production run. An air conveyor, specifically designed by Krones, efficiently and gently transfers empty PET bottles from the blow molder directly to the labelling and filling stations, minimizing the risk of deformation or contamination.


Integrated High-Speed Filling, Labelling, and Quality Control


After bottle production, the Krones Contiroll labeller applies wrap-around labels to the empty PET bottles with high precision. The labelling station supports high-speed operations, ensuring perfect label placement for consistent branding and shelf impact. Immediately downstream, the Krones Mecafill isobaric filler, specifically engineered for carbonated beverages, ensures uniform fill levels, stable carbonation, and effective foam control. This filler is also equipped with a metal detector at the outfeed, providing essential quality control by detecting and rejecting bottles containing metallic contaminants.


The process section of the line features a Krones Mixer, responsible for the accurate preparation and blending of water and beverage syrups for both still and carbonated drinks. This equipment manages CO₂ dosing, degassing, and temperature control, guaranteeing product consistency and carbonation quality. For product traceability and regulatory compliance, a Hitachi RXS-SD160W inkjet printer marks each bottle with batch codes and expiry dates.


Comprehensive Secondary Packaging and End-of-Line Automation


Following filling and capping, bottles are conveyed by Krones transport modules to the secondary packaging area. In this section, a Krones Variopack shrink tunnel collates bottles and wraps them into stable packs, with a throughput of up to 45 packs per minute. For packaging formats requiring cardboard supports, a Twin Pack MDE INOX single-lane handle applicator provides ergonomic handling and secure pack er packaging, Krones conveyors move the packs to the palletizing area, where a Kettner Pressant Universal palletizer arranges them onto pallets with precise stacking patterns, suitable for different pallet types and bottle formats.
