Plastic Molding Technology: PET bottles have been in use in the soft drink industry since the early 70's, and numerous Krones filling lines, in many countries, have been designed and built especially for PET applications. In order to guarantee the success of a new PET bottle, even with regard to production and filling, Krones offers the necessary support right from the start, in the planning and development phases. As a system supplier for bottling lines, Krones guarantees that new processes and machine technologies are put to use efficiently and accurately.

Labeling and Decoration: Krones labelers are the quintessence of outstanding container decoration. The possibilities provided by Krones labelers extend from traditional cold gluing techniques, the application of self-adhesive labels, reel-fed wrap-around labels, and heat transfer labels, all the way to sleeving. The individual labeling systems can also be combined to suit specific applications. For every speed range and type of decoration, we design our machines with our customers' needs in mind; this has enabled us to become the market leader for labeling machinery worldwide. Krones also recognizes the importance of customer consulting and a sales- promoting container decoration as well as the appropriate layout and continuous, uninterrupted operation of the labeler.

Inspection and Monitoring: Equipped primarily with CCD camera electronics, our inspectors offer the latest electronic components and all-around security for every output range. In a slightly modified form, these inspectors are also used by the glass container industry to inspect newly converted glass containers. To obtain optimal efficiency while maintaining highest quality and speed requires not only the right production facilities, but also effective monitoring equipment. Together with our engineers, you decide which units are best for your line.

Filling and Closing: Decades of Krones experience and technical know-how have gone into the design of our fillers, the heart of every bottling and canning line. We offer an extremely wide variety of different filling systems to meet the specific requirements involved for all products to be canned or filled. The machines available range from mechanically controlled fillers all the way to the new filler generation featuring electro-pneumatically and computer controlled filling valves, and from pressure filling systems (with and without pre-evacuation) through to low-vacuum and gravity filling systems. The filling technologies employed unite superior filling quality with affordable cost-efficiency even at the highest output speeds. Each Krones filler, and the capper with which it is integrated into a MONOBLOC, is designed to meet the latest microbiological and hygienic standards, providing ideal conditions for efficient external cleaning.

Conveying: The demands placed on container and pack conveyors are increasing. Conveyors must be versatile, easy to integrate into a variety of applications, and they must enable equipment options; they must also permit effective cleaning to strict microbiological standards and fulfill international safety requirements. In consideration of these and other, economic, aspects, Krones has developed a new range of standard conveyors for containers and for packs in a modular component system.

Line Management System: Krones Line Management System gives bottlers complete control over their bottling and packaging processes. Designed to increase productivity, optimise equipment performance, and reduce costs, the system delivers order and recipe handling, energy consumption measurement, production and maintenance planning, line documentation, tracking and tracing, communication, as well as a central information system.

---

Warehouse Management System: As brand extensions and package configurations continue to expand automation logistics become even more critical. Krones Warehouse Management System simplifies warehouse logistics and records all movements of goods. The system establishes the best method to be used, organises the material flow and the identification of goods. It also includes gap-free batch tracing from the produciton area through shipping to the first customer.
