500 times maximum efficiency

Anniversary block | Ever since the first ErgoBloc L from Krones was unveiled at drinktec 2009, it has been an integral part of bottling plants. With its market launch, Krones realised a vision at the time: the complete filling and packaging line combined in one block.

What followed was a success story – as the order for the 500th ErgoBloc shows. The anniversary block goes to the Philippine bottler Philippine Spring Water Resources Inc (PSWRI). “We are delighted that this milestone in Krones’ block technology is being utilised at our facility,” says Danilo Lua, President of PSWRI. “The block significantly expands our production capacity and allows us to meet the growing demand for our products while maintaining our commitment to quality and sustainability.”

This is because the ErgoBloc’s compact footprint, modular design and seamless integration of key processes, including stretch blow moulding, labelling and filling, into a single compact unit has multiple benefits in operation: it contributes to a significant reduction in space requirements, energy consumption and operating costs. In addition, the system’s intuitive user interface and advanced automation features minimise downtime, optimise overall production efficiency and ensure product quality – perfectly aligning with PSWRI’s dedication to delivering the highest-quality bottled water to Filipino consumers.
