Flexible packaging line for beverage production
In the beverage industry, adaptability in packaging processes is vital for addressing varying product demands. Whether dealing with non-returnable bottles or versatile multipacks, efficient handling of different packaging combinations is essential for meeting production goals and maintaining high standards.
Processes diverse packaging combinations efficiently
The Varioline, from Krones, is an advanced packaging line designed for flexibility in secondary and tertiary packaging. It can handle over 20 different packaging combinations, tailored to meet the unique needs of beverage and food producers. The system’s modular design features three distinct modules: one for multipacks, another for carton sleeves and trays, and a universally usable module for special functions like gluing or sealing. Capable of outputting up to 100,000 containers per hour depending on the packaging type, the Varioline achieves this with continuous container infeed to reduce product stress. The system’s servo-motor-controlled drives adhere to energy efficiency class IE4 standards, complemented by a modular ACOPOS multi drive system that recycles braking energy. The integration of all components by Krones ensures seamless operation without interfacing issues, making the Varioline an efficient choice for dry end packaging tasks.
