This KHS beverage machine is a complete PET single-use filling line designed for the production of water, soft drinks, and fruit spritzers — sometimes referred to in the industry as a bottling line or liquid filling line. KHS is a well-established German manufacturer of filling and packaging systems for the beverage, food, and non-food industries, known for producing integrated production lines that handle everything from bottle handling through to labelling.
The line is configured to process three bottle formats — 0.5 L, 1.0 L, and 1.5 L — with a nominal output of 24,000 bottles per hour based on the 1.0 L format. The process begins at a Markant 1ASH-PL new bottle unstacker, manufactured by KHS in 2001, which destacks incoming PET bottles from pallets. Bottles are then conveyed pneumatically to the next stage, with the pneumatic transport system also supplied by KHS in 2001.
Product preparation is handled by an Intermix 240 EIÜD premix system manufactured by Ortmann & Herbst in 1978, which blends the beverage prior to filling. This premix unit is equipped with downstream Velcorin dosing, a preservation treatment used in the production of certain beverages. The rinsing stage is carried out by a KHS Innoclean FR-ZR 70/113 PET rinser, built in 2001, which is configured for both chlorine dioxide and sterile water rinsing to ensure hygienic bottle preparation ahead of filling.
Filling is performed by a KHS Innofill DRV-VF-PET filler, also from 2001, equipped with an Alcoa screw capper and a liquid nitrogen dosing unit. Liquid nitrogen dosing is commonly used in PET bottling to pressurise containers and improve top-load strength prior to capping. A fill level control unit manufactured by miho (1992) is integrated into the line to verify correct fill levels, followed by a KHS container transport system from 2001 that moves bottles through to the labelling stage.
Labelling is carried out by a KHS wrap-around label machine manufactured in 2003, which is fitted with a hot melt glue melter and a best-before date printer. The line also incorporates a glass removal system. The equipment is located in Germany and is offered in used condition.
