- Holistic systems for the beer and CSD sectors
- Service portfolio with innovative solutions
- Extension of the proven packaging portfolio
"Our system expertise enables us to launch pioneering products and systems to market for practically all kinds of application," says Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Niemeyer, CEO of KHS GmbH. The main target groups at the Nuremberg trade show are SMEs and the big players in the beer and CSD sector. Whether cleaning, filling, packaging or line management are required, KHS supports its customers with a full range of services. The portfolio includes various packages of measures aimed at boosting efficiency in the long term for more ecological and economical production.
Three systems for greater efficiency
Specifically for medium-sized breweries KHS will be introducing the Innopro Ecostab B which provides regenerative beer stabilization with polyvinylpolypyrrolidone or PVPP. The filter areas on this modular system are smaller than those of comparable systems; the machinery is also especially gentle on resources and takes up considerably less space. The Innopro Ecostab C is suitable for the fully automatic production of up to 900 hl of beer per hour. Both Innopro Ecostab machines require up to 70% less PVPP than standard systems.
The KHS system for the pasteurization of beer, soda pop, non-carbonated beverages and juices with and without pulp is the Innopro KZE. Precisely configured to suit the beverages being processed, the flash pasteurizer reliably destroys microorganisms and inactivates enzymes.
On the Innofill Glass Micro DPG beer, mixed beer beverages and soft drinks, for example, can be filled into glass bottles at a rate of up to 25,000 bottles per hour. Equipped with the tried-and-tested assemblies and components used on high-performance glass fillers, all processes are fully automated and documented and can be reproduced at all times.
Flexible keg processing
The Innokeg Transomat 6/1 is the logical extension of the successful Transomat series. The process cycles on this innovative system are configured for both PET and steel kegs so that the machine yields optimum consumption values at a maximum line capacity of up to 100 kegs per hour and line. Regarding one-way kegging systems for beer and soft drinks KHS will have its further developed Innokeg PETBoy F2 keg racker on display at the show. This easy-to-operate machine processes various sizes of one-way PETAINER® keg in parallel on two racking heads. KHS is also offering a control system with a microcontroller for the first time. The standardized, modular hardware setup permits extremely reliable, customized control and takes up very little space.
KHS will be exhibiting its extended product portfolio of packaging systems at BrauBeviale. Alongside its proven variants, such as the FullyEnclosed FilmPack and wrap-around packer, KHS is building up its multipack systems. The packaging specialist will also be introducing its new DisplayTray for cans and glass and PET bottles. It combines material- and cost-saving manufacture with attractive and effective presentation of products at the point of sale.
Transparency and fast information
In system management KHS is making a clear further move towards Industry 4.0; using the KHS everywhere app for iOS it is possible to call up the status of filling and packaging systems and individual machines at all times from anywhere around the world. The app communicates with all KHS lines and machines which are equipped with the new ClearLine HMI machine operating system.
