This used Krones Linapac II E35 LT1G is a packing machine — sometimes referred to as a case packer or bottle packer — designed to automatically place glass bottles into plastic crates or boxes at high speed. Krones is a German manufacturer widely recognised across the global beverage and liquid food industries for engineering filling, labelling, packaging, and conveying systems used in breweries, soft-drink plants, and bottling operations of all scales.
The machine is configured as a six-head packer handling two bottle formats: 0.5-litre glass bottles (68.5 mm diameter, 270 mm height, Ale/Longneck profile) and 0.33-litre glass bottles (61 mm diameter, 238 mm height, Ale/Longneck profile). It operates at a rated performance of 50,000 bottles per hour, running in a right-to-left direction. The bottle holder accommodates either 6 × 20 or 6 × 24 bottles per cycle, corresponding to the two supported crate formats: 20-bottle plastic crates measuring 400 × 300 × 300 mm and 24-bottle plastic boxes measuring 400 × 300 × 270 mm, with layer patterns of 6 × 20 across and 6 × 24 across respectively.
The electrical supply is 230/400 V at 50 Hz, with an installed power of 24.5 kW. Air consumption is rated at 0.0002 m³ per bottle. The machine stands on a square-tube frame mounted on dome feet and is free-standing. Its overall footprint is 6,160 mm in length, 4,120 mm in width, and 5,033 mm in height.
The equipment package is comprehensive. The basic machine comprises a lifting mechanism, a horizontal linear unit, a gripper head carrier, and multiple movement axes. Two complete gripper head sets are included, each consisting of a frame with six ring gripper heads carrying 20 or 24 ring grippers respectively, a pulling device, a manual changing device, an insertion frame, a vibrator set, a folding unit for completeness control, and terminal strips for guide plate adjustment. A shelf magazine with powered automatic storage locations is fitted, along with container transport, safety devices, and full electrical and pneumatic equipment. Buffer tables for empty and full crates are included as peripheral equipment. Operation is controlled via a PLC system with a control cabinet equipped with a touch panel.
The machine was manufactured in 2005, is offered in used condition, and is currently located in Germany.
