This Krones MEHRWEG-GLASFL is a beverage machine — specifically a complete returnable glass bottle filling and packaging line, sometimes referred to as a reusable glass bottling line. Krones is a globally recognised manufacturer of filling, labelling, and packaging machinery, supplying breweries, soft drink producers, and other beverage operations with integrated line solutions. This system is configured for beer production in 330 ml and 500 ml glass bottles, packaged in plastic crates, and is available immediately from its location in Germany.
The line is made up of several individual Krones machines working in sequence. An unpacker and packer unit of type Blitzpack, built in 2004, handles the removal of new glass bottles from crates and the repacking of filled bottles back into crates. A Bohrer crate washer cleans the plastic crates using hot water between cycles. The bottle washer is a Krones Lavatec, manufactured in 2002, configured with 25 bottles per row, and is responsible for cleaning the returned glass bottles before inspection.
Washed bottles pass through a Krones Linatronic empty bottle inspector, also built in 2004, which checks each bottle for physical damage and residual caustic solution left from the washing process — a critical quality control step in returnable bottle operations. From there, bottles enter the Krones Mecafill glass bottle filler, built in 2004, which is equipped with 66 filling valves. The filler is paired with an 11-head crown cork capper and an 11-head aluminium screw cap closer, giving the line flexibility across different closure types.
Labelling is handled by a Krones Starmatic labelling machine, built in 1999 and running on a Siemens S5 control system. Filled and labelled packs are then checked by a Krones Checkmat full-pack inspection unit, built in 2004, which verifies the completed packages before they leave the line. Bottle and crate conveying throughout the line is provided by Krones transport equipment dating from 2002 and 2004. The overall electrical control architecture runs on Siemens S7.
The line delivers an output of approximately 22,000 to 24,000 bottles per hour when running 500 ml glass bottles.
