Filling
Currently, many breweries cannot take advantage of automatic data acquisition in the bottling hall because the installation of such systems involves excessively high costs and thus is not economically justifiable. Therefore, a standard performance specification has been drawn up in Weihenstephan, this will allow the sector to use cost-effective and efficient DA systems.
Plant data acquisition (DA) systems for filling plants have been used in the brewing sector for over a decade with the objectives of improving the accuracy and continuity of information flow, increasing transparency in production and providing a better basis for decision-making processes. The goal is to improve plant performance, increase productivity and efficiency and assure product quality.

The efficiency achieved on filling plants depends largely on the reliability of individual machines as well as on layout of the filling plant. In planning filling plants, it is very interesting to determine the degree to which these two parameters correlate and to see whether established "rules of thumb" can be found to apply to plant planning.
Filling plant have to be operated as efficiently as possible. This is one of the reasons why engineers and production specialists are increasingly having to deal with efficiency considerations, benchmarking and similar new challenges. Nevertheless, efficiency levels in breweries are oftentimes no more than 70 to 85%. In operation of filling plants, many important events arise by chance (e.g.

Washing of dirty returnable bottles has been greatly facilitated by the use of chemical cleaning agents. Carry-over of individual cleaning components into the product to be filled can be problematic. A method is presented for quantitative analysis of surfactants in bottles and in the washing plant. This method is based on HPLC which is already in use for beer analyses in a number of breweries.

Production and filling conditions as well as the heat recovery system in the brewhouse must be taken into account in order to arrive at a proper basis for sizing a boiler plant.

The Oettinger Company Group has entered the field of canned beer production. By commissioning a new canning line from KHS at its Gotha brewing plant last summer, Oettinger now also supplies the discount sector with its own products filled in 0.5-liter and 0.33-liter cans. The Gotha brewery uses the new line for contract filling as well.

The Group Cervecería Polar C. A. in Venezuela has installed three high- performance crate washing systems of the German specialist manufacturer Ludwig Bohrer Maschinenbau GmbH at the breweries in Maracaibo in single lane and in San Joaquin in double lane design.

Löwenbräu have set themselves the ultimate objective of filling one day standard beers in cans in an efficient and responsible manner, without tunnel pasteurisation. The second major significant factor related to filling yeast turbid "weißbier" as a canned product, this called for a special filling technology. This is described in this article.

About a year ago, GEA Till announced their new filling system "Direct Flow Control". In the meantime more than 12 months of practical experience has been gained which has fully supported the expected technological advantages.
Filling
Technical developments in filling of glass bottles appear to be tapering off, the trend is simply shifting somewhat away again from super-fast machines with extremely high hourly bottling capacities. In contrast, there are numerous new developments associated with kegs, cans and PET bottles.

In the context of a large-scale commercial test, the objective of this study was to investigate the extent to which conveyor lubricants with a disinfecting component could contribute to stabilising and/or improving the hygiene situation in the bottling section.
