Wet-section block solution for non-carbonated water
In the beverage industry, optimizing space, energy usage, and operational efficiency is critical, especially for facilities processing non-carbonated water. Combining multiple functions into a single streamlined system can address the challenge of managing extensive production lines.
Streamline filling, capping, and labelling
The ErgoBloc LM from Krones is a block solution meticulously designed for processing non-carbonated water. It integrates stretch blow moulding, labelling, filling, and capping functions into one compact, efficient system. This approach eliminates the need for transfer starwheels and separate rotary media manifolds, significantly reducing the space requirement by up to 30% compared to traditional setups. With an output capacity of up to 55,000 containers per hour and flexible processing for PET containers of various sizes (0.2 to 2.0 litres), it supports operations with minimal intervention. Utilizing infrared heating technology and the Air Wizard Triple compressed air recycling system, this block ensures energy efficiency and precise control. Equipped with an electronic PFR filling valve, it maintains consistent filling accuracy. The system’s centralized HMI allows for seamless operation, enabling a single operator to manage the entire block.
