Would you like a design which makes your bottle stand out from the crowd? Or would you like to set new records in material savings with professional lightweighting? Regardless of your demands on bottle design – the design professionals from Krones are guaranteed to find the right shape to suit your ideas and meet your goals.
 

In a lightning-fast 1.6 seconds, the stretch blow moulders from the Contiform 3 series transmute a preform into a PET bottle. With an output of 2,250 bottles per blow-moulding station, they produce your PET containers at a speed of 82,000 bottles per hour. This speed does not, however, show up in the consumption figures. Because design enhancements at carefully chosen points like the oven, the stretching system and the air recycling unit reduce the machine’s appetite for energy and compressed air – and even make the Contiform 3 Krones’ most economical stretch blow moulder ever.
 

Bottle washing is a job that permits not a single mistake in terms of hygiene and product safety. And at the same time it demands economical utilisation of water as a valuable resource. The bottle washing machines from the Lavatec series show how these two extremes can be reconciled. Whether we’re talking limited space available or high outputs, easily soluble labels or tricky cleaning job profiles, multitalented allrounder or affordable basic kit: each Krones bottle washing machine has been designed for different requirements and is an experienced specialist in its chosen field.

Which filling system does your product prefer? Cold, hot or aseptic? And what would you like your filling system to provide? That it fills with a great deal of precision and a low amount of foam? That it gently fills your product into the bottle while simultaneously protecting it from oxygen? That it remains flexible for different formats and also knows how to treat lightweight bottles? Regardless of which of these points and how many of them are important to you for your filling process – with Krones filling systems you will find just the right technology to suit every taste.

Is the can clean? Is the label correctly positioned? And is the fill level in the bottle all right? With inspectors from Krones, each of these questions can be answered unhesitatingly with “yes”. Because the inspectors provide you with conscientious monitoring of your packs, your cans or your bottles – and unerringly reject any products that do not meet your quality stipulations.
 

A shelf full of options, the blink of an eye – and the die is cast. As a producer of consumer items, you know shoppers decide in fractions of a second what they’re going to buy. With labellers from Krones, you can be sure that your product’s an eye-catcher. Whether it’s hotmelt, cold-glue, pressure-sensitive labels or sleeves: our labelling technology effortlessly masters every variant of dress – and if you want, even all of them together on a single machine.
 

No doubt about it: a beverage line’s performance depends on its individual components. All of them, in fact. Because even the fastest filler or packer can perform to its full potential only if everything between them has also been properly optimised. This is why Krones’ conveyors do so much more than merely transport the containers: they control the entire logistics inside a line. By intelligent distribution, routing and buffering, they harmonise the function of the line’s separate units – thus signposting the path to dependable, efficient production.
 

Temperature is crucial for achieving quality in beverage production – and this applies to several factors: The temperature changes the colour and taste of a beverage. It determines the shelf life of a product. It influences how filled containers can be labelled and packed. With Krones systems for product and container treatment you can make the temperature work for you.
 

Would you like to continue to keep up with current trends? Or would you like to define the future trends yourself? Then choose packers which fire your imagination instead of limiting it. The Krones packaging systems master a wide range of primary and secondary packaging. Even if they have been many years in use, they can easily be retrofitted to other packaging types. For you, this simply means: that you can face also future developments more relaxed. No matter where the journey goes, your packaging machines will definitely be on board.
 

What is the most important factor in palletising: output or precision? Good news for everyone who cannot (or does not want to) decide: Krones palletisers operate to the exact millimetre and stack up to 600 layers per hour. To ensure that your products also feel at ease at this speed, each robot is individually configured – from its motion sequences right through to its gripping tools. Regardless of whether you handle non-returnable packs or returnable crates: together with our product specialists you will find the ideal palletiser for your production.
 

Blocks are the spearhead of line technology. For they join together the functions of several machines to form a single, compact unit. The result is a highly automated overall package in which the individual process steps are seamlessly connected to one another – without buffers, without detours, without lost time. Whether in the wet or dry end, for aseptic or standard production, a multi-format or highly specialised line: Krones block technology is individually adapted to suit your products, your containers and your requirements.
