Fermentation/Maturation
Focus on brewers’ yeast | Microbiological detection of foreign yeasts in the brewing process is an important part of hygiene monitoring in breweries. A novel DNA extraction and Real-Time PCR process might help here. This process can reliably detect S. cerevisiae var. diastaticus contamination, without previous enrichment.
Packaging
Cradle to cradle | Businesses around the world are under pressure to operate as sustainably as possible and the global brewing industry is no exception. Understandably, the use of packaging is under the spotlight in terms of supply chain benefits, product protection and with the rise in consumer environmental awareness the packaging end of life and re-use. Reduction in the use of plastics, recycling, was the aim a few years ago but now business models need to move towards a full circular evidenced lifecycle solution.
Filling
Patent pending | In this article, a new process for washing returnable bottles – patent pending – is presented. In terms of energy and water savings, it can be viewed as another quantum leap. Data is based on simulations of the manufacturer’s mechanical engineers and calculations of the inventor. The innovative process makes use of a combination of a bottle washing machine (BWM) combined with a high-temperature heat pump (HTHP) and integration into an (existing) cogeneration plant.
Cleaning/Disinfection
Active ingredients and their effects | Which additives are available for bottle washers and how have they been developed? This article explores individual compounds and the purposes they serve in the cleaning process, from special additives for specific cleaning issues to the filtration of caustic. These can offer opportunities for improvement but may also be detrimental.

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.

European footprint | The global supplier of PET kegs OneCircle, Den Helder, Netherlands, is expanding its European footprint with the appointment of a new official reseller of KeyKeg and UniKeg in Spain – Bruni Glass Iberia.
Market
Krones | On 12 December 2019, the executive board of the Neutraubling-based company decided on additional structural efficiency measures.
Filling
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.
Filling
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.
