Higher Capacity | A growing market for beer has led Bali Hai Brewery Indonesia to install a new canning line, accommodating a higher production capacity while securing the quality of their premium beers. Designed and supplied by Sidel, the line runs at up to 33 000 cans per hour for the 330 ml format, twice as fast as the former one, and features a very compact layout, thus overcoming the Indonesian brewer’s space constraints.

Canning line | When it comes to brewing, the Mack Brewery in Norway has long since been putting its trust in Krones’ technology, most recently for canning as well. This means the Bavarian plant engineering specialist is handling the brewery’s core remit, since cans account for over 90 per cent of total beer sales.

Empty and full container inspection | Returnable glass is in line with the trend! Gerolsteiner Brunnen has reacted to the growing thirst for refreshing drinks out of appropriate individual and GDB (German Mineral Water Association) bottles – with a completely new filling line. Highly automated Heuft equipment for inspecting empty and full containers ensures that Gerolsteiner mineral water is bottled safely and faultlessly there. The TornadoII dynamic labeller carries out the careful decoration of the glass containers for an attractive look at the point of sale.

: Most breweries prefer to use glass bottles

Portfolio addition | The market for glass bottles is estimated to continually thrive over the next few years. This especially holds true for the beer market but also for other categories, such as water, juices and carbonated soft drinks (CSD). To keep abreast of this development and adapt to the ever more rapidly changing market and product trends, manufacturers expect new solutions, which offer high production flexibility, while at the same time guaranteeing maximum quality for their premium products. Sidel, one of the leading providers of equipment and service solutions for packaging beverage, food, home and personal care products, is now answering their call with a new filling system.

Ideas for the future | Industry pioneers such as Lorenz Adalbert Enzinger and Theo Seitz bear witness to the long tradition research and development enjoys at KHS. Like them today’s KHS engineers don’t always go with the flow but pursue many different paths in order to stay at the helm of progress. The article describes how KHS GmbH from Dortmund deals with digitization and other topics of the future and prepares for it.

Solid-Liquid Separation | Water, hops, yeast and malt – the raw materials used to brew traditional craft beer hardly ever stray from these four ingredients. However, aside from high-quality raw materials, utilising equipment and technology ideally suited for producing these beers also plays a critical role. Of great importance in this respect are certainly the processes of separation and filtration, not only of wort and beer, but also of water, yeast and not least of all the reusable constituents at the end of the production chain.

The Calgary-based inventor of micro-canning equipment for craft brewers has donated a canning system to the growing Beer Industry Program at Metropolitan State University of Denver. Cask’s Micro-Automated Canning Systems (mACS) will serve to educate the program’s students on the packaging, environmental, and freshness-keeping benefits of canned craft beer.
