KHS GmbH, established in 1868 and headquartered in Dortmund, Germany, is a leading global manufacturer of filling and packaging systems for the beverage and liquid food industries. Their comprehensive product portfolio includes bottle filling machines, can fillers, pasteurizers, labeling machines, and packaging systems, designed to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and innovation in production processes. KHS operates multiple production sites worldwide, including facilities in India, USA, Mexico, Brazil, and China, and maintains numerous sales and service centers to support its international clientele.
One of six Coca-Cola HBC sites to have received a new canning line from KHS in 2020 is Edelstal in Austria. The system was delivered, installed and commissioned in a remarkably short time – and under quite extraordinary conditions.
With preferential heating KHS provides an energy-efficient method for producing oval PET bottles with an optimized weight. Not only the food industry but also consumer goods manufacturers such as Henkel are opting for this cutting-edge technology. It also enables complex containers to be economically produced in house, with no need for external procurement.
KHS and Ferrum take on a pioneering role in the canning field. Their technical systems, perfectly attuned to one another thanks to many years of partnership, enable beverage producers to market high-quality products that are hygienically flawless. The compact Innofill Can C from KHS, for example, is convincing with its flexible, taste-neutral filling, among other features. This is supplemented by matching seamer systems FC06 and FC08 from Ferrum which with their open design are especially easy to clean. Combined, both machines make for a very efficient filling process.
On the booming beer market in Cameroon one local brewery isn’t simply out to make a few fast bucks – or francs – but is instead going for sustainability, high-quality products and future-proof technology. This strategy is proving extremely successful and has made the company the market leader in major cities.
The trade has had to wait two long years for this moment: from November 9 to 10 BrauBeviale will again be opening its doors – this year as a congress under the name of Beviale Summit.
Molson Coors is one of the biggest brewery groups in the world. The Serbian plant run by its subsidiary Apatinska Pivara Apatin has relied on technology engineered by KHS for over four decades.
Cutting-edge filling equipment, environmentally-friendly packaging and ambitious sustainability targets: Carlsberg is one of the beverage industry’s technological pioneers. The KHS Group consistently supports the brewery in the concrete implementation of its strategies. A number of projects have recently been successfully realized in China – including the installation of two canning lines. The focus here was on a streamlined layout and production design that are to act as a role model for all of the company’s Chinese factories.
This bottle filler is a quantum leap in filling technology: after KHS first presented the Innofill Glass DRS ECO to the public in 2019, the machine now in operation at OeTTINGER has demonstrated that it considerably improves on the low consumption values originally given for this equipment. With it, the brewery in Mönchengladbach, Germany, saves on CO2, water, energy and space. At the same time, OeTTINGER benefits from improved quality in the filling process.
Eckes-Granini is making its packaging portfolio even more environmentally friendly with the help of the KHS Group. Since the middle of May its one-liter hohes C juice bottle has consisted entirely of recycled plastic (rPET).
The packaging is user friendly, the material kind to the environment, the machine powerful: the KHS Group’s Innopack Kisters CNP (Carton Nature Packer) processes can toppers made of cardboard at a rate of up to 108,000 cans per hour.
